ImVector::operator=doesn't properly copy a vector with Size = 0 and non-nil Data. It always sets the destination vector's Data pointer to NULL before resizing it to hold the same amount of items in the source vector. But when src.Size = 0 the destination vector won't have its Data pointer initialized, and src.Data is not null which results in a call tomemcpy(NULL, src.Data, 0). This causes a crash when the program is compiled with-fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover. The fix is to check ifsrc.Dataandthis->Dataare both non-nil.I encountered this by accidentally using
autoinstead ofauto&and causing a copy assignment ofImGuiIO::InputQueueCharacters.EndFrame()callsInputQueueCharacters.resize(0)which sets its Size to 0 but leaves its Data untouched (which is non-NULL once keys have been pressed). Afterwards, trying to make a new copy of the object returned fromGetIO()invokes ImVector's copy constructor which callsImVector::operator=and causes the error above.Here's is a stripped down example tested with
c++ -fsanitize=undefined $(pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl2) -I imgui imgui/backends/imgui_impl_opengl3.cpp imgui/backends/imgui_impl_sdl2.cpp imgui/*.cpp test.cc:
