[Paraview-developers] paraview completely unusable (as usual)

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

The reason is because of the commit below. It seems like it fails to work after N calls on most machines. I fixed this a long time ago on my local branches, but forgot to reapply the fix when I switched to the standard paraview release branch (and master last week). After tracking that down, I found that trilinos also uses the dodgy realloc call and this was bringing down my plugins with segfaults at random and hard to reproduce times.

Can I suggest a CMake option to disable this realloc call.

    ENH: Change the behaviour of DataArray.Resize(newSize)

    Now, if the newSize is bigger than the current size, the call of Resize(newSize) will produce an array of that exact newsize and not big
