The test causing the crash is the UnicodeConverterTest
(Foundation/testsuite/src/UnicodeConverterTest.cpp). This is
templated, and is instantiated with both UTF16 and UTF32 strings. The
UTF16 case works correctly; it is the UTF32 instantiation that is
crashing.
I'm still trying to get to the bottom of this. The UTF16 test (the one
that works) uses std::wstring, but the UTF32 test (the one that crashes)
uses a custom string made with a 32-bit integer and corresponding traits
class. If the UTF16 test is switched from using std::wstring to a
similar custom string type then this also crashes.
It would be easy to blame the custom string types, except that I can
isolate the code in a stand-alone example that works fine. Plus, I've
compiled Poco on Fedora 21 with the two custom string types, and again
everything works fine.
I tried compiling with all optimisation turned off, and now the code
still crashes, just more slowly :-) I was hoping that I might get
something more sensible out of gdb with -O0, but alas no. The next step
is to produce a static build (again with all optimisation disabled) and
then cut bits out of it until I come up with a minimal programme that
exhibits the bug.
