Worked on the IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell repository to enhance stability in geometry processing by addressing a critical issue in object destruction. Using C++ and applying principles of memory management and object-oriented programming, introduced a virtual destructor to the AbstractKernel base class. This technical change ensured that derived objects were properly cleaned up when destroyed through base class pointers, directly resolving a SIGTRAP crash encountered during geometry iterator destruction. The focused update improved runtime robustness and reduced the risk of crashes in production environments, while also simplifying future extensions of kernel components by clarifying and securing the destructor lifecycle within the codebase.
March 2025 (IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell) delivered a critical stability enhancement in geometry processing by adding a virtual destructor to the AbstractKernel base class to ensure proper cleanup of derived objects when destroyed through base pointers, addressing a SIGTRAP crash during geometry iterator destruction. This change increases runtime robustness, reduces crash surface in production, and simplifies safe extension of kernel components.
