- Add test_time_operations.cc with TimeInfo class tests * Time arithmetic operations (seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months, years) * Comparison operators and date ordering * Business logic scenarios (shift scheduling) * Operator overloads and edge cases - Add test_error_handler.cc with error management tests * ErrorInfo construction and severity levels * Error categories (9 types: GENERAL, SYSTEM, NETWORK, etc.) * Context tracking (file, line, function, error code) * Real-world error scenarios - Add test_sales_tax_calculations.cc with 43 test cases * US tax calculations, Canadian GST/PST/HST/QST * European VAT, discounts, coupons, modifiers * Quantity pricing and rounding - Fix floating-point comparison precision issues * Apply Catch::Approx() to all float equality checks * Fix RAII scoping issue in test_memory_modernization.cc - Update CMakeLists.txt to include new test files Test suite now contains 80 test cases with 568 assertions (100% passing)
Fixes segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) when saving employee records in the User Edit Zone. The crash occurred during form field iteration when the field pointer became NULL. Root Cause: - Loop condition checked 'f != nullptr' but immediately dereferenced f->next without revalidation on the first line of the loop body - This caused a segfault when f was NULL at loop entry or became NULL during iteration Changes: - Add explicit NULL check before dereferencing f->next in job info loop - Add early validation for user pointer and FieldList() return value - Add error logging with ReportError() for easier debugging - Return error code 1 instead of continuing with NULL pointers Crash Stack Trace Reference: TextField::Get(int&) <- UserEditZone::SaveRecord() Signal: SIGSEGV at zone/user_edit_zone.cc line 440 Tested: Compiles successfully, prevents crash on employee save operation
- Fixed SIGSEGV when saving employee records caused by NULL/dangling user pointers - Added user pointer validation before SaveRecord calls in Signal() and Update() - Enhanced SaveRecord field iteration with proper null checks and early breaks - Added dangling pointer detection to catch freed memory access - Improved error logging for better debugging Root causes: 1. SaveRecord called without validating user pointer when toggling Active/Inactive 2. SaveRecord called without validation during job filter updates 3. Field pointer advanced without null checks in job info iteration loop Testing: Validated with AddressSanitizer in Debug build Fixes: User Edit button type save crashes

It is scary (scary good !) watching you fix bugs and refactor the code. In email I get these information laden summaries every time a commit is made, even if in your 'dev' and not in 'master'; the summaries are positively overwhelming in every way. In the old days such a level of professionalism and skill was unheard of because it was simply impossible to expect such results from anyone fixing, refactoring, enhancing and testing code. Congratulations, Ariel. |
