[GTK3/GTKMM3] libcairo-2.dll call to DWrite.dll causing Segmentation fault

[giuspen]

Description / Steps to reproduce the issue

I have a crash when printing ( giuspen/cherrytree#2066 ) which as the backtrace below shows is pointing the finger to libcairo-2.dll calling DWrite.dll:

Thread 1 received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffae80b5714 in ?? () from C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\DWrite.dll
(gdb) bt
#0  0x00007ffae80b5714 in ?? () from C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\DWrite.dll
#1  0x00007ffab8371f4c in ?? () from C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\libcairo-2.dll

I suspect this was introduced when re-enabling DWite in 853c407#diff-ec73b1797eaafa14b354022f28487d6a4d8f5e84ca776012c1c7fcdf6088b392
I tried to rebuild the package with the patch reverted ( following https://www.msys2.org/wiki/Creating-Packages/ ) but after installing, my app fails to link, I guess I have to rebuild all the libraries that depend on it. I wonder if there is an easy way or I have to rebuild all libraries manually.

Unfortunately for me gtk3-demo doesn't crash.

In case you would be happy to reproduce the crash via my app see https://github.com/giuspen/cherrytree#building-cherrytree-on-windows

The best way is probably to rebuild cairo with options=(debug !strip) (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Debugging/Getting_traces#Compilation_options) and then get a stack trace with debug info.

And after that file a bug here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/cairo/cairo/-/issues

[Biswa96]

@giuspen Thanks for reporting this issue. I have built the program in mingw64. Is it possible to reproduce the segfault stage without a printer? I am interested to debug the program but I do not have any printer.

[asctime]

@giuspen also another suggestion: MinGW inkscape package makes heavy use of CAIRO for printing. You might want to d/l the binary, draw and print something, to initially sort if its is code, environment or library specific. Also the source code is a textbook example of Windows printing using CAIRO. might be worth a look.

[giuspen]

@Biswa96 yes just File--Print and then when you get the dialog select "Microsoft Print to PDF"

Click Print, it will then ask you for a place where to save the pdf and then crash once you click save

[giuspen]

Thanks @lazka I have a better stack trace now, I will raise an issue where you indicated
