[developers] acetools and fftb segmentation fault

[Alexandre Rademaker]

Hi,

(I have also reported it in https://delphinqa.ling.washington.edu/t/compiling-fftb/255/7)

Using the last version of fftb from http://sweaglesw.org/linguistics/acetools/ I am getting a `Segmentation fault` when I try to `accept` or `reject` an annotation.

    $ ./fftb -g ~/ace-0.9.30-x86-64/erg-2018-x86-64-0.9.30.dat --webdir ~/fftb-osx/assets/ ~/repsol/repsol-100-ff/

    Segmentation fault


BTW, I solved my problem with my docker (https://github.com/own-pt/docker-logon) using the nginx server to make the connection between my browser in the host machine (MacOS), the VM created by the Docker Desktop and the fftb process inside the container.


Regarding the —auto parameter, reading more carefully the help:

$ ./fftb -h
usage:  ./fftb -g grammar.dat [--gold profile_path [--auto]] [--browser [firefox]] [--webdir web_path] profile_path

I understood that —auto is optional if —gold is given. But anyway, I am just suggesting a better error handling for this case.


Best,
