Hi, the following code is valid tcl

oo::define MkKernelRpcClient method PrivateCreate {cls nme mqHdl} {
my variable selfCash
set selfCash($mqHdl) [namespace eval :: [list $cls create $nme [self] $mqHdl]]
}

oo::define LcConfigRpcClient method LcConfigRpc_create {name } {
my PrivateCreate LcConfigRpc $name [LcConfigRpc Create [self] ]
}
oo::define LcConfigRpcClient export LcConfigRpc_create

and works fine in my test-suite

---- lcconfig-2-2-(0-0-0+binary+pipe+tcl.pipe.pipe) start
++++ lcconfig-2-2-(0-0-0+binary+pipe+tcl.pipe.pipe) PASSED

the test is also simple

test lcconfig-2-2-($F+$B+$C+$S) {cfg as varname} \
-body {
set RET ""
$FH($F) LcConfigRpc_create cfg
cfg ReadString $cfg1
append RET [cfg LookupString {name}]
cfg destroy
set RET
} \
-returnCodes ok \
-result {Books, Movies & More}

and now the BUG

if I skip the "list" and use

oo::define MkKernelRpcClient method PrivateCreate {cls nme mqHdl} {
my variable selfCash
set selfCash($mqHdl) [namespace eval :: [$cls create $nme [self] $mqHdl]]
}

1. The "Nhi1Exec" tool is just the starter for test case, on or case add the libasan.so library for mem-check
2. The "Backtrace" feature is my own function just to react on unix signal SIGSEGV and write a backtrace

void MkDisasterSetup(void) {
// once per application
static bool setup_done = false;
if (setup_done) return;
setup_done = true;

// initialised to all zero (I vote for GCC style breach of standard here)
struct sigaction sa = {};

sa.sa_handler = MkDisasterSignal;
sa.sa_flags = 0 /* | SA_RESETHAND | SA_NODEFER */; /* To have or have not */
sigaction(SIGSEGV, &sa, NULL);
}

ANALYSES: as you see mainly TCL code is involved,

1. "$cls create ..." create a VALID oo-object (but not in the :: NS because the "list" is missing
2. "namespace eval :: OBJ" write an error because call the new "oo-object" without arg is invalid
3. PROBLEM: "something" is calling the destructor of the new object

313 from TclOOInvokeContext

/*
* Run the method implementation.
*/

return mPtr->typePtr->callProc(mPtr->clientData, interp, <------ PROBLEM
(Tcl_ObjectContext) contextPtr, objc, objv);
}


CRASH: it seems the oPtr->selfCls is brokern

static inline int
IsStillValid(
CallChain *callPtr,
Object *oPtr,
int flags,
int mask)
{
if ((oPtr->flags & USE_CLASS_CACHE)) {
oPtr = oPtr->selfCls->thisPtr; <------ CRASH
flags |= USE_CLASS_CACHE;
}
return ((callPtr->objectCreationEpoch == oPtr->creationEpoch)
&& (callPtr->epoch == oPtr->fPtr->epoch)
&& (callPtr->objectEpoch == oPtr->epoch)
&& ((callPtr->flags & mask) == (flags & mask)));
}
