[Mac] Demo does not run - "Attempt to free invalid pointer"

[rupang818]

Issue Summary

With the files generated from running the CMake, I am trying to run the simple demo, but it it showing the message "Attempt to free invalid pointer 0x7feac270d5c0"

Here's the CMake GUI setting, if it helps:

(Note WITH_QT is on, WITH_GTK is off, per this comment)

Executed Command (if any)

./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --video examples/media/video.avi

---------------------------------- WARNING ----------------------------------
We have introduced an additional boost in accuracy in the CUDA version of about 0.2% with respect to the CPU/OpenCL versions. We will not port this to CPU given the considerable slow down in speed it would add to it. Nevertheless, this accuracy boost is almost insignificant so the CPU/OpenCL versions can be safely used.

Did you solve the problem? I'm having same one..

OS : Mac 11.3.1

[tejacques]

Also having the same issue. Installed caffe from homebrew and used that instead of building from source.

[tejacques]

If helpful, when I try to build from source with the openpose fork, there are two issues. The first is that the latest version of protobuf seems incompatible with the fork, causing the following error:

[  3%] Building CXX object src/caffe/CMakeFiles/caffe.dir/util/io.cpp.o
~/Projects/openpose/3rdparty/caffe/src/caffe/util/io.cpp:57:57: error: too many arguments to function call, expected single argument 'total_bytes_limit', have 2 arguments
  coded_input->SetTotalBytesLimit(kProtoReadBytesLimit, 536870912);
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                       ^~~~~~~~~

  void SetTotalBytesLimit(int total_bytes_limit);
       ^
1 error generated.

This can be fixed by removing the second argument in the specified file.

The second issue I have not been able to address is this linker error:

% make -j`sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu`

Same error here as well on 12.1 with M1 chip

[0tist]

got the same error, any fix for that?

Didn't face the second issue on 12.2.1 intel mac.

I resolved the Attempt to free invalid pointer on OSX issue.
See my comment in another issue thread:

[rajhlinux]

I had the exact same issue as to tejacques for compiling "Caffe" (Deep Learning Project on github). The solution was to remove the 2nd argument as stated by tejacques.

This was the issue, and I solved it by following your steps, thanks @elcchan99 !
