Segmentation fault in UncheckedRow_nativeIsNull+56 when operating on invalid/deleted object

See original GitHub issue

I kind-of randomly experience native crashes during different scenarios in my app. There is a scenario where I can reproduce the crash almost immediately.

Version of Realm and tooling

Realm version(s): 3.1.3

Realm sync feature enabled: no

Android Studio version: 2.3.1

Which Android version and device: S6 6.0.1, x86 emulator 7.1.1

Realm encryption is not enabled.

Crash

The scenario where I can reproduce the crash is when calling Realm.deleteAll() and then opening an Activity, which causes a presenter to operate on an invalid Realm object. What happens specifically is that there is an RealmProxy where toString() says “Invalid object” - makes sense, as this object has been deleted. On this proxy, the Integer primary key is compared to <= 1.

This results in realmGet$id() being called, where checkIfValid() passes and then proxyState.getRow$realm().isNull(columnInfo.idIndex) (UncheckedRow.isNull(0)) crashes with the attached stack trace.

Prior to writing this, I did not realize that the issue was caused by operating on an invalid object - now it is possible for me to start fixing my code. Anyway, is this intended behaviour, or should there be a Java exception?

Here follows the stack trace:
