[igraph] Problem: Attribute handler in C

[Walter de Back - Collegium Budapest]

Hi,

I want to read in pajek files and analyse these networks iteratively, for which I need to have access to the attributes (id, weight).

However, I've noticed that a problem turns up when the attribute handler is attached. After reading or generating multiple graphs iteratively, the program crashes. See code below for an example.

Now, I realize that the attribute handler from C is experimental, but I hope you can help me.

Is there a way to circumvent this problem? Or am I doing something wrong in the code below? 

Thanks in advance,
Walter


attrhandl.c:

/*
    gcc attrhandl.c -I/usr/local/igraph -L/usr/local/lib -ligraph -o attrhandl    
*/

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "/usr/local/include/igraph/igraph.h" // change to path of igraph.h

int main(){            
    // attach handler (note: without handler, program runs fine)
    igraph_i_set_attribute_table(&igraph_cattribute_table); 

    // if more than 30 iterations, program crashes if attribute handler is attached
    int iterations = 50;  

    int i;
    for(i=0;i<iterations;i++){
        igraph_t graph;
        igraph_star(&graph, 5, IGRAPH_STAR_UNDIRECTED, 1);

        int num_vertices = igraph_vcount(&graph);
        printf("Iteration %d:\tNumber of Vertices: %d\n",i,num_vertices);

        // access attributes here...

        igraph_destroy(&graph);
    }

    return 0;
}
