Summary0001420: exceptions thrown with python object.
Descriptionrunning freecad through gdb there are many exceptions thrown. There are caught and handled properly, so you don't notice this outside of gdb. This happens twice at start up and numerous times upon entering the draft workbench. The backtraces aren't the same but they all have the last 3 calls the same. I will attach one of the backtraces. I am going to do a complete rebuild and make sure I still have this happening.
TagsNo tags attached.

Did a complete rebuild and still having the exceptions. I am on my own branch based from master at c260ede08388753eb4e2ba86fef6a4e75ef57bd5

Sorry for my ignorance but what is the point here?

I would assume something is wrong to be so regularly generating exceptions out of libstdc++.so.6.

the gdb_session.txt file was made by starting freecad, entering part workbench, creating 2 blocks and doing a boolean cut. I wouldn't expect such a common usage pattern to generate 8 exceptions. Maybe I have something wrong here.

No, everything is fine. But it's true that internally exceptions are thrown and caught inside PyCXX.
+ Two of them were created inside Application::workbenchIcon() which now avoids throwing an exception.
+ Some are thrown because our replacement for sys.stdout/stderr didn't offer an attribute called "softspace". That's also "fixed" now
+ The majority of Python commands implement the "IsActive" method in a non-proper way. E.g. the class AddPoint in Draft:

    def IsActive(self):
        self.selection = Draft.getSelection()
        if (Draft.getType(self.selection[0]) in ['Wire','BSpline']):
            return True
        else:
            return False

As you can see if the selection is empty the "selection[0]" raises an index error. Then we regularly call the IsActive() method in a timer and that's why exceptions are thrown all the time. I think it's worth to make an extra bug report for this one.

OK, I close this report now. The issue about the IsActive method is in a separate report.
