DESCRIPTION:
While trying to write to a NFC tag usingndef-writefrom the nfcd-tools package, ndef-write segfaults when running.
I have no idea what the best place is to report this issue. The issue tracker at GitHub is closed and bugs.sailfishos.org doesn’t that active any more, there doesn’t seem to be a category for nfcd to begin with, so I’d thought I’d report it over here.
In the meanwhile, is there another way to write NFC tags? I’ve tried writing a simple application using the Qt NFC module, but the Qt NFC implementation seems to be intentionally disabled: qnearfieldtarget_neard_p.h\nfc\src - qt/qtconnectivity.git - Qt Connectivity due to [QTBUG-43802] NearD crashes when after successful call to QNearFieldTarget::writeNdefMessages - Qt Bug Tracker
PRECONDITIONS:
Have the package nfcd-tools installed (zypper in nfcd-tools).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Install
ndef-writefrom the packagenfcd-tools - Run
ndef-write -v -u https://example.orgin a terminal.
EXPECTED RESULT:
The NDEF URI record gets written to the tag and some debugging output appears on the terminal.
ACTUAL RESULT:
Nothing gets written to stdout and a segmentation fault occurs
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Writing an SmartPoster or Text record also fails and crashes the program. Writing an empty record does not crash.
I’ve tried debugging it myself, but the behaviour of the program differs depending on whether or not it is being debugged. It will segfault less and print the more breakpoints are set for some reason:
(gdb) start -v --uri https://example.org

Note that it will never reach to this point without setting these breakpoints. I’m utterly confused why it happens, as it happens both on the version available from the Jolla repo’s as well as the one I compiled myself from GitHub - sailfishos/nfcd: NFC daemon at version 1.1.9, using sdfk build -d and sfdk deploy --sdk --debug. I’ve made sure to reboot my phone for the new daemon to be load, but it still happens.
I have no idea how I can debug this any further, as I’m confused why the program behaves differently when it is observed with a debugger.
