Crash during CefInitialize in CEF 133

[ninad3d]

Hello everyone,

I'm building Chromium using CEF version 133 on:-
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

The build completes successfully. However, when I try to launch the browser, it crashes during the `CefInitialize` call.
I’ve attached the `update.sh` and `create.sh` scripts I’m using for reference.

The crash occurs inside `ContentMainRunnerImpl::Shutdown()` at the line `delegate_->ProcessExiting()`.
It appears that `delegate_` might be invalid or already destroyed, resulting in a segmentation fault.
attached GDB call stack of the crash.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or could provide guidance on how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance!

+1 I am encountering the same crash/callstack on Windows as well.

I've tried CEF versions 133, 134, and 135, and the issue occurs in all of them.
@ndesktop Did you try any workaround? Or know any version where this crash doesn't happen?

I do not have yet an explanation. I never reproduced it myself, only crash dump reports coming from the market.

From the callstack it looks like a crash when CefInitialize fails. Maybe try debugging the 2nd launch of cefclient with the same cache path (it forwards the launch to the 1st instance and exits early).

[ndesktop]

Yes. I'd say two things here:
1. CefInitialize should not crash if fails;
2. CefInitialize fails prime suspect might be a second instance and some kind of crash due to pointing to the same cache/root location.
