fix(ios): Add SAFE_SHERPA_ONNX_OR macro to prevent FFI invalid pointe… #2682
Conversation
…r crashes on iOS - Adds pointer validation before dereferencing in GetOfflineTtsConfig - Checks for null and low-address invalid pointers (<0x1000) - Applies to all string fields in TTS model configs (vits, matcha, kokoro, kitten) - Fixes crashes on iOS when Flutter FFI passes uninitialized pointers - Based on v1.12.14 for compatibility with Flutter sherpa_onnx plugin
| WalkthroughAdds a pointer-safety macro (SAFE_SHERPA_ONNX_OR) and replaces prior SHERPA_ONNX_OR usages across offline TTS config parsing in c-api.cc to validate FFI-provided pointers before assignment, defaulting to provided fallback values when invalid. No public API changes. Changes

Address the comment language and consider logging invalid pointers.
The macro implementation has several concerns:
- Comment language: The Chinese comment should be translated to English for consistency with the rest of the codebase.
- Threshold portability: The 0x1000threshold is a heuristic that may not be reliable across all platforms or memory configurations. While common for detecting null-like low addresses, it's not guaranteed to catch all invalid pointers.
- Silent failures: When an invalid pointer is detected, the macro silently falls back to the default value without logging. This makes debugging difficult and hides the underlying issue.
- Root cause: This appears to be a workaround for Flutter FFI passing uninitialized pointers. Consider whether the FFI boundary should validate pointers before calling into native code.
Apply this diff to improve the implementation:

Improve SAFE_SHERPA_ONNX_OR macro robustness
- Translate the Chinese comments at lines 1169–1170 into English for consistency.
- Enhance the macro (line 1171) to log when an invalid pointer is detected instead of silently falling back.
- Guard the low-address heuristic (0x1000) behind an iOS-specific #ifdef __APPLE__or clearly document its platform limitations.
- Consider validating FFI pointers at the boundary rather than masking the root cause here.

🧩 Analysis chain
Verify that other config functions don't have the same vulnerability.
The SAFE_SHERPA_ONNX_OR macro is only applied to string fields in GetOfflineTtsConfig, but similar string pointer handling exists in other functions like GetOnlineRecognizerConfig, GetOfflineRecognizerConfig, GetKeywordSpotterConfig, etc. If Flutter FFI can pass invalid pointers to TTS config, it could potentially do the same for other configs.
Run the following script to identify other locations that may need similar protection:
Based on the results, consider either:
- Applying the same protection to other config functions, or
- Documenting why TTS config specifically requires this protection while others don't.

Wrap all string‐pointer config fields with SAFE_SHERPA_ONNX_OR
Several config getters (recognizer, spotter, VAD, SLID, audio tagging, denoiser, punctuation, segmentation, embedding, etc.) currently use SHERPA_ONNX_OR directly on string/pointer fields (model, encoder, decoder, tokens, lexicon, etc.). Replace these with SAFE_SHERPA_ONNX_OR to guard against invalid pointers over FFI.
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In sherpa-onnx/c-api/c-api.cc around lines 1178 to 1248, several config getters
use SHERPA_ONNX_OR directly on string/pointer fields which risks dereferencing
invalid FFI pointers; replace usages of SHERPA_ONNX_OR for any string or char*
fields (model, encoder, decoder, tokens, lexicon, voices, data_dir, dict_dir,
lang, etc.) with SAFE_SHERPA_ONNX_OR so they default to an empty string when the
pointer is invalid; leave numeric or boolean fields (noise_scale, length_scale,
num_threads, debug, etc.) using SHERPA_ONNX_OR as before and ensure resulting
tts_config fields are assigned the SAFE_* results.

请问这个无效指针是哪里来的?
如果不为空,为什么还要额外判断?
