Motivation
Sometimes Windows C++ client could fail at
Consumer::subscribe
, the server side's log isIt's caused by the corrupted
CommandSubscribe
from C++ client. The bug was introduced from #10243, which added a bool fieldreplicateSubscriptionStateEnabled
to consumer's config but not initialized in the constructor.It's a undefined behavior in C++. Though GCC and Clang may initialize this bool variable to false, MSVC may have different behavior. I've added some logs to print the
replicateSubscriptionStateEnabled
argument inCommand::newSubscribe
, the uninitialized bool field is actually stored as an integer, which is a random value like 208, 116, 128, etc. Then after being serialized by protobuf, the last byte ofCommandSubscribe
could be a random value. If it was a negative 8 bits integer, the server side would fail to parse the command and then close the connection.Modifications
replicateSubscriptionStateEnabled
with false as the default value.Verifying this change
