libopenrave-core calls exit

[morxa]

The shared library libopenrave-core.so calls exit(), which is in many cases undesired behavior for a shared library, because it causes the main binary to terminate without any cleanup.

This was found while creating a Fedora package for openrave. Fedora's packaging guidelines recommend to report such issues to upstream.

I haven't looked at it into detail; but it would probably make sense to replace the exit() call with some kind of error handling.

Thanks for your help!

i agree about the exit calls. i just grepped for any exit fn call, but couldn't find any hits. perhaps you can point out where the exit call is so i can remove it.

thanks

The call to exit is in the 3rdparty lib ivcon in line 7512. Looking at the code it seems like it's a typical divide by zero error. So maybe you could throw an exception instead of calling exit?
