Segmentation Faults back with Aspose.cells when saving to HTML

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

Hello,

I’ve reported a similar issue before that was mainly fixed: Aspose.Cells Segmentation Fault when saving to HTML

However, once again, on Aspose.cells via C++ bindings on latest 25.7.0, I still get segmentation faults both on Mac and Linux for some files when converting Excel → HTML via HtmlSaveOptions. I also removed all options and used default save options but happened agian

Debug log:

Process 62254 stopped

It sounds like you’re encountering segmentation faults when saving Excel files to HTML using Aspose.Cells with C++ bindings. This can be frustrating, especially since you’ve already reported a similar issue previously.

Cause: The segmentation faults may be due to specific content or formatting in the Excel files, or potential bugs in the version of Aspose.Cells you are using.

Solution: Here are some steps you can take to diagnose and potentially resolve the issue:

  1. Update to the Latest Version: Ensure you are using the latest version of Aspose.Cells. Bugs are often fixed in newer releases.

  2. Check Input Files: Verify if the specific Excel files causing the segmentation faults have any unusual formatting or content that might be triggering the issue. Try with simpler files to see if the problem persists.

  3. Use Default Options: Since you mentioned using default save options, ensure that you are not inadvertently setting any options that could lead to instability. You can also try explicitly setting the HtmlSaveOptions to default values.

  4. Debugging: Utilize debugging tools to trace the exact point of failure. The debug log you provided indicates an access violation, which often points to issues with memory management.

  5. Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Aspose support with detailed information, including the specific files causing the issue and the debug logs. They may have more insights or a patch available.

Next Steps: Here’s a minimal code example to save an Excel file to HTML using default options:

#include <iostream>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"

using namespace Aspose::Cells;

int main() {
    Aspose::Cells::Startup();

    // Load your source workbook
    Workbook workbook(u"Book1.xlsx");

    // Save file to HTML format
    workbook.Save(u"out.html");

    std::cout << "Workbook saved to HTML format successfully!" << std::endl;

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
    return 0;
}

Please try these steps and let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance!
