Description

Load the test data. Open python console. Run


iface.activeLayer().selectedFeatures()[0].geometry().exportToWkt()

Get

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x00007f4a0b337dcc in QgsAbstractGeometryV2::wkbType (this=0x21) at /home/dbaston/dev/QGIS/src/core/geometry/qgsabstractgeometryv2.h:117
117 QgsWKBTypes::Type wkbType() const { return mWkbType; }

Not sure that the test data actually matters.

Build 8e488ca. Originally experienced the problem w/QGIS 2.6, where .exportToWkt() would produce an empty string and .asWkb() would dump random memory contents.

Duplicate of #777.

A solution is to keep temporary reference to the feature you work with:

f = iface.activeLayer().selectedFeatures()[0]
print f.geometry().exportToWkt()

This will avoid destruction of QgsFeature instance while its QgsGeometry object is still in use.
