Summary

Addresses a crash (SIGSEGV) in LLButton::draw() triggered when a button enters the disabled + selected state (such as when toggling "Edit linked" in the build floater, which disables active tab buttons or toggles). Inlined tail-call optimization in LLUIColor::get() turned unbounded recursion into an unchecked while (mColorPtr != NULL) loop, which dereferenced invalid or unmapped memory if mColorPtr was wild or pointed to an extracted node.

Changes:

  1. Bounded Indirection in LLUIColor::get():
    • Replaced recursion with an iterative traversal bounded by MAX_COLOR_DEPTH = 4.
    • Prevents runaway pointer chasing, crashes from unmapped memory, and potential infinite loops from circular color definitions.
  2. Logical State Fallbacks in LLButton:
    • In LLButton::LLButton(const Params& p): Initialize mSelectedLabelColor, mDisabledLabelColor, and mDisabledSelectedLabelColor from their logical parents if not explicitly provided (disabled_selected -> disabled -> unselected).
    • In LLButton::draw(): When drawing disabled + selected, fall back to mDisabledLabelColor.get() if mDisabledSelectedLabelColor.get() resolves to LLColor4::magenta (unset / missing in skin).
  3. Preserve Node Stability in LLUIColorTable::setColor():
    • Removed node extraction (mLoadedColors.extract()) when storing user-customized colors.
    • Preserves permanent address stability for all nodes in mLoadedColors, preventing borrowed pointers held by existing widgets from dangling.

Related Issues

  • Resolves crashes when toggling button/control states that place widgets in rare state combinations (disabled + selected).

… color table node stability

- Bound LLUIColor::get() reference traversal to MAX_COLOR_DEPTH (4) to prevent runaway pointer loops and crashes from unmapped/wild memory
- Add logical fallback cascades in LLButton constructor and draw() for disabled/selected state colors
- Avoid extracting nodes from mLoadedColors in LLUIColorTable::setColor() to preserve borrowed pointer stability

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved button label color handling when selected or disabled color settings are not explicitly defined.
    • Prevented color resolution from following excessively long or circular color references, improving reliability.
    • Updated custom color changes to apply consistently without altering loaded color definitions.

Walkthrough

LLUI color handling now provides button label fallbacks, bounded color-pointer resolution, and direct storage for user color overrides.

Changes

LLUI color behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Button label color fallbacks
indra/llui/llbutton.cpp
Missing selected and disabled label colors inherit related colors. Disabled-selected rendering falls back to the disabled label color when its color remains unset.
Bounded color pointer resolution
indra/llui/lluicolor.cpp
LLUIColor::get() follows color pointers iteratively up to four links and returns the current color when no pointer is set.
User color override storage
indra/llui/lluicolortable.cpp
setColor() directly stores user colors in mUserSetColors without changing mLoadedColors.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a9baa

Applying a user color override can leave existing widgets showing the old color while newly created widgets show the override. This consistency regression should be fixed before merge.

In `@indra/llui/lluicolortable.cpp`:
- Line 208: Update setColor() where the first mUserSetColors entry is added so
the existing LLUIColor handle stored in mLoadedColors[name] remains shared with
the override, rather than constructing a separate LLUIColor from color. Move the
loaded map node into mUserSetColors or use equivalent shared indirection, and
add a regression test confirming both existing and new lookups resolve the
override.
