segfalt while loading config module

[crypt17]

I am getting a crash in this code block in wtftw/core/src/config.rs

It seems to be in the first line as I have gotten output from debug! just before result().

Any thoughts

    if let Ok(lib) = DynamicLibrary::open(Some(&Path::new(&libname.unwrap().unwrap().path().as_os_str().to_str().unwrap()))) {
        unsafe {
            if let Ok(symbol) = lib.symbol("configure") {
                let result = mem::transmute::<*mut u8, extern fn(&mut WindowManager,
                                                    &dyn WindowSystem,
                                                    &mut Config)>(symbol);

                self.internal.library = Some(lib);
                result(m, w, self);
            } else {
                error!("Error loading config module")
            }
        }
    }

I upgraded all dependencies and fixed some stuff. For me locally it works now. Feel free to try again.
And sorry for the really long delay. I was bound up in work.

I ended up restructuring the code to remove the config module so.all is good here.

I'm not sure if I have the same issue, but it seems to be similar. @crypt17 maybe you can elaborate on what you did to fix this.

When I put the example config ´config/config.rs´ into ~/.wtftw/src/lib.rs and then run DISPLAY=:1 cargo run in wtftw/ it compiles the config lib and the fails with a segmentation fault.

There seems to be an issue with the dynamic library which is created for the configuration.
I found this threat on SO https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26602353/rust-segfault-when-executing-specific-line-of-code-from-a-dynamically-loaded-li, which describes a similar problem.

When I execute wtftw with RUSTFLAGS="-C prefer-dynamic" cargo run all works fine.

I have rustc version 1.43.1 and the OS is Ubuntu 20.04.

Again I'm unsure if this is the same issue, so it might make sense to move it to a new issue.

I ended up restructuring the code so that it was not doing a dynamic reload for the config. But since I have not played with wtftw for a jong time I am not sure if I can help much.

@crypt17 Thanks this confirms that this is the same issue. Could you share what you have done?

[crypt17]

since there seem to be minimal updates to wtftw in the last few years I would tend to recomend looking at something else. If you want something in rust there is penrose https://github.com/sminez/penrose. If you don't mind another lanage then the most flexible out there is xmonad which has some nice bideos on cohfiguring it on the distrotube channel on youtube. I am now using bspwm which has some nice tutorials on brodie robertsons channel on youtube.

It should work now. Sorry for the lack of updates, this project is at most in maintenance mode.
