Java id3lib SEGFAULT

Hello everyone,
I'm writing a program using the id3lib unfortunately I've encountered with memory issue that cause segmentation fault. I tried to rerun and analyze the program with valgrind but it doesn't point me anywhere. I really stuck on this one.

Valgrind output:
Code:
==14716== Invalid read of size 4

==14716==    at 0x404BEFC: ID3_Frame::GetField(ID3_FieldID) const (in /usr/lib/libid3-3.8.so.3.0.0)

'Parse_mask' definition:
Code:
const char *Parse_mask(const char *filename, const char *mask, ID3_TagType id3_ver){
    p_symbols event[] =
    {
        { "%n", ID3FID_TRACKNUM },
        { "%i", ID3FID_ORIGARTIST },
        { "%t", ID3FID_TITLE },
        { "%a", ID3FID_ALBUM },
    //    { "%g", ID3FID_ },
        { "%y", ID3FID_ORIGYEAR },
    //    { "%c",  },
        { NULL, ID3FID_NOFRAME }
    };
    string s_mask = mask;
    ID3_Tag file;
    /*ID3_Frame *f_frame = NULL;
    ID3_Field *f_field = NULL;*/
    char tag_buff[255];
    int iter = 0;
    size_t match;

    if(file.Link(filename, id3_ver) == 0){
        return NULL;    
    }
    
    while(event[iter].symbol != NULL){
        
        if((match = s_mask.find(event[iter].symbol)) != string::npos){
            file.Find(event[iter].frame_id)->GetField(ID3FN_TEXT)->Get(tag_buff, 255);
            s_mask.replace(match, strlen(event[iter].symbol), tag_buff);
            iter++;
            continue;
        }
        iter++;
    }

    file.Clear();
    s_mask += ".mp3";
    return s_mask.c_str();
}

Thanks in advance Smilie

Try compiling with -ggdb and running with the gdb command. When it crashes inside gdb, you can run 'bt f' to see what line it segfaults at.

Accordingly to the valgrind output, the problem seems to occur during the execution of the GetField method. Now it's almost impossible to help you further, given your current problem description.

Cheers,
Loïc.
