feeding [rest-json] output to [json-decode] crashes on Mac OS X

[eighthave]

I open rest-json-help.pd, replace [print data] with [json-decode] and click one of the URLs, and it crashes every time for me. I'm using Pd-extended 0.43.1 20120119 64-bit build on Mac OS X 10.6.8. purest_json is built against json-c 0.9 and libcurl 7.24.0.

Using the 32-bit Mac OS X build with , I also get a similar crash:

[rest-json] outputs a series of lists, while [json-decode] takes a string as an input. You will have to do something like this currently:

[rest-json]
|
[list trim]
|
[route commits] <--- or something similar
|
[json-decode]
|
[print  decoded]

Ah, ok makes sense. Figuring out how to represent json's nested lists in Pd is a tricky problem. It would be nice if output_json() didn't crash given bad input.

I am working on it right now. I am thinking about decoding the nested objects, and outputting them, therefore making the list trim and route unnecessary.

I have just found the source of the segfault: A call to json_object_put without testing for json errors with is_error first. Will commit that later.
