[redland-dev] Problems with SPARQL's OPTIONAL pattern matching

[fiandro at tiscali.it]

Hi

i've encounterd some problems with the following SPARQL query 

"PREFIX rdf: <http://www.dajobe.org/foaf.rdf> PREFIX foaf: <http:
//xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> 
SELECT ?x, ?y, ?name, ?depiction_title WHERE { ?x foaf:name ?name . ?x 
foaf:depiction ?y . OPTIONAL { ?y dc:title ?depiction_title } }"

on the simple RDF document attached at the end of this email.

If the "<dc:title>Me and my friends</dc:title>" line is removed from 
the RDF document and the query is executed via roqet, i'm told that 
some values are null but roqet exits correctly.

attilio at attilaptop:~/rdf$roqet -qs "file:
///home/attilio/rdf/foaf/foaf_atti_simplified.rdf"  -e "PREFIX rdf: 
<http://www.dajobe.org/foaf.rdf> PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.
1/> PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> SELECT ?x, ?y, ?name, 
?depiction_title WHERE { ?x foaf:name ?name . ?x foaf:depiction ?y . 
OPTIONAL { ?y dc:title ?depiction_title } }" -i sparql
result: [x=uri<file:///home/attilio/rdf/foaf/foaf_atti_simplified.
rdf#i>, y=uri<http://www.swer.it/~attilio.fiandrotti/fossano/dscn4949.
jpg>, name=string("Attilio fiandrotti"), depiction_title=NULL]
 
if the query is done by a c# (or python) application (i did not try to 
write a C application), it gets the following SIGSEV signal

Breakpoint 1, librdf_new_node_from_node (node=0x0) at rdf_node.c:624
624       LIBRDF_ASSERT_OBJECT_POINTER_RETURN_VALUE(node, librdf_node, 
NULL);
(gdb) p node
$7 = (librdf_node *) 0x0
(gdb) p *node
Cannot access memory at address 0x0
(gdb) bt

#1  0xb6db5563 in ?? ()
#2  0x00000000 in ?? ()
(gdb) c
Continuing.
rdf_node.c:624: (librdf_new_node_from_node) assertion failed: object 
pointer of type librdf_node is NULL.

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0xb7b2a7a7 in raise () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6

Maybe i doing something wrong in my C# application, reported above 
(i'm new to both redland and C#) ?
Note that if the OPTIONAL constraint is removed, then i simply get no 
matches, as expected, but no crashes.

thanks a lot
