Summary0004561: OpenCamLib (OCL) raises an error on incorrect tool attributes and causes FreeCAD segfault
Descriptionhttps://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=55240

The sample file requires the legacy tools to be enabled but appears to be related to passing incorrectly defined tools to OCL.

FreeCAD: /home/brad/opencamlib/src/cutters/ballcutter.cpp:41: ocl::BallCutter::BallCutter(double, double): Assertion `length>0.0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

Tool type: Engraver
FreeCAD: /home/brad/opencamlib/src/cutters/conecutter.cpp:46: ocl::ConeCutter::ConeCutter(double, double, double): Assertion `center_height > 0.0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped
Steps To ReproduceOpen the cone crasher file. Change the surface operation to use one of the other tools and recompute.
Additional InformationMay not affect all platforms.
Known to crash on Mint and Fedora

We don't plan to fix legacy tools to prevent bad user data but handling of the OCL error should be fixed

C++ assert() will cause a core dump unless NBEBUG is set. That may need doing for release builds.

The pull request has been merged, so this can be closed, correct?

The PR I provided fixed two specific errors in FC which were triggering coredumps. The question remains, is this error trap outcome desirable in a stable release or should it be trapped/handled differently.

If there is a future error condition is discovered, is it desirable that the user gets faced with a core dump?

This was clearly intended as debugging outcome in OCL and there is a variable to turn it off. Since OLC is currently compiled outside of FC and to all intents and purposes has no active developer this cannot be fixed from FC.

One option would be to fork OCL into FC tree and detect the error condition in a more contorlled manner or submit a PR to OLC if that is preferable.

In short the PR fixed a local bug triggering an instance of the problem, it does not fix the problem.
