segfault if newFigure is missing

[gchabert]

Hello surfers of the vibes,

When I do this:
vibes::beginDrawing ();
vibes::newFigure("bla");
It works fine.
But if I try to do this instead:
vibes::beginDrawing ("bla");
I have a seg fault.
I guess the second variant is not correct but...

Gilles,

I can't reproduce your issue on windows, linux or mac.

Both following example work fine for me:

#include "vibes.h"

int main()
{
    vibes::beginDrawing("bla");
    vibes::drawBox(-1,1,-1,1);
    vibes::endDrawing();
    return 1;
}

int main()
{
    vibes::beginDrawing();
    vibes::newFigure("bla");
    vibes::drawBox(-1,1,-1,1);
    vibes::endDrawing();
    return 1;
}

I am using either the vibes.h & vibes.cpp from the released archive:
https://github.com/ENSTABretagneRobotics/VIBES/releases

or the ones on the repository:
https://github.com/ENSTABretagneRobotics/VIBES/tree/master/client-api/C%2B%2B/src

Do you still encounter this problem?

vibes::beginDrawing("bla");

This command starts the VIBes client in file output mode, telling it to write all its commands to a file named "bla" (instead of communicating with the viewer). If you don't have write permission to the working directory, it may crash.

I keep it as a bug, since in this case the client should not crash, but gracefully discard all vibes commands.

I can install the last release and try again, if you want... but remind me how to compile VIBES from the sources (I'm still desperatly looking for the doc !)
