ModelObject::split() expects a non-NULL new_objects vector where it adds pointers to the new models resulting from the split. But in the CLI case the caller does not care about this and passes NULL which causes a crash. To fix the crash we could pass a dummy vector but it turns out that we actually have a use for the results because we should assign a unique name to each new model the same way as the GUI does. These names show up as comments in the gcode so this change makes the gcode produced by the GUI and the CLI more similar and diffable.

Thanks, this seems to have been there for a long time.
Your code renames even models that cannot be really split and some bits of code are duplicated. Is there a reason why I could not do this: eaa80df (branch lm_pr5991)? Does it break something?

Yes, I agree your change is better. I was just trying to mimic the GUI. I don't know the code well enough to tell if it doesn't break anything.

@lukasmatena has amended the original commit by @combolek (pull request #5991) in order to avoid code duplication
