php-gearman error for object pointer being freed was not allocated

[chris@…]

I can't get php54-gearman @1.0.2_2 to work properly. It builds fine, but when I try to utilize the Gearman PHP libraries it fails to run.

$ php54 Dispatch.php 
[         1] Starting 25 workers
php54(15382) malloc: *** error for object 0x10b892c58: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort trap: 6

Everything else in PHP seems to work normal. I have tried both php5 and php54. Both result in the same outcome.

Machine is brand new. Using Mac OS X 10.7.4, Xcode 4.3.3

Please let me know if I've included enough detail. I'm new around here.

chris: Is there a simple example that can be download for testing?

[chris@…]

Got it.

What kind of example? PHP? The default code samples on the PHP website will reproduce the above.

​http://www.php.net/manual/en/gearman.examples-reverse-bg.php

Also, it appears that the error only happens with the worker class. The client sample normally waits for a response from the worker, but it just dies with no error.

php(87054) malloc: *** error for object 0x10379cde0: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

Not sure what difference this makes, but I installed the PECL (I think from pear-CodeGen_PECL) to see if I could use the PECL installer. I tried versions pecl-gearman 1.0.2 (version that macports installs), 1.0.1, 1.0.1, and 0.8.1. All of these versions result with the same message above.

Hey guys, I have exactly the same problem and I tracked it down to libboost 1.50 and gearman 0.34, I noticed that I couldn't compile gearman 0.33 against libboost 1.50 (which I upgraded trough macports), the only solution was to downgrade libboost back to 1.47 and compile gearman 0.33 again, any other combination, even gearman 0.34 against libboost 1.47 failed.. just my 2¢ in case anyone else needs to have gearman running again quickly..

I do not get a crash when running the example scripts on the above web page. I just get errors presumably because I am not running a gearmand server.

Is anybody still seeing this problem with the current versions? If so please report the problem to the developers of gearmand; it doesn't sound like a MacPorts-specific problem.

This port no longer has a maintainer. See #47536.
