Comment 1:

here is an example crashing client:
// first OpenVG program
package main
import (
    "bufio"
    "github.com/ajstarks/openvg"
    "os"
)
func main() {
    width, height := openvg.Init() // OpenGL, etc initialization
    w2 := float64(width / 2)
    h2 := float64(height / 2)
    w := float64(width)
    openvg.Start(width, height)                               // Start the picture
    openvg.BackgroundColor("black")                           // Black background
    openvg.FillRGB(44, 100, 232, 1)                           // Big blue marble
    openvg.Circle(w2, 0, w)                                   // The "world"
    openvg.FillColor("white")                                 // White text
    openvg.TextMid(w2, h2, "hello, world", "serif", width/10) // Greetings 
    openvg.End()                                              // End the picture
    bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin).ReadBytes('\n')                 // Pause until [RETURN]
    openvg.Finish()                                           // Graphics cleanup
}

Comment 2:

Further testing shows that the bug began somewhere between revision 61a75775ab6 (March
22, crashing) and revision 68679922e4fe (March 19, working)

Comment 4:

Could be related to issue #5099.  My example also uses globals

Comment 5:

The problem persists with go1.1beta2.

Comment 6:

Possibly duplicate of https://golang.org/issue/5227
Can you please apply https://golang.org/cl/8602044/ and test.

Labels changed: added priority-soon, go1.1, cgo, arch-arm, removed priority-triage.

Comment 7:

Fixed when https://golang.org/cl/8602044/ is applied against go1.1beta2
(revision d58997478ec6)

Comment 8:

tested the fix against bubtrail colortab hellovg hgrad planets randcircle raspi
shapedemo clients found in https://github.com/ajstarks/openvg/tree/master/go-client, all
build and run correctly.

Comment 9:

This issue was closed by revision 0e76a94.

Status changed to Fixed.
