Double-Free Corruption Crash from eglQueryString when starting Wayland Client

[cola]

On my iMX.6 Dualcore device, I can see the following GPU driver related crash completely reproducible at every application's start. My setting is a QtWaylandCompositor based compositor (though that should not make a big difference to Weston) and a simple application that runs as a Wayland client. My BSP contains the 5.0.11 p4.5 release.

I would be happy for any hints if that issue might be fixed in more recent releases or if this is an open issue.

Cheers,

Hi Andreas,

There is a bug for p4.5 that Wayland and EglQuery does not free window memory until the application exits, apparently this is the main reason of your issue, So i recommend to migrate to p7.1  or better latest bsp with 5.0.11p8.6v. 

hope this helps
