Editor crash when compiling component blueprint

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

If you have a blueprint inherit from any PrimitiveComponent class there is an internal compiler error

Repro steps using 4.18.2

  1. create a new blueprint
  2. from All Classes select InstancedStaticMeshComponent as the base class
  3. open the new blueprint
  4. click the Compile button
  5. notice the editor crashes

Inspecting the callstack in a debugger it appears to be evaluating the editcondition of “bOverrideMass” on the MassInKgOverride property of FBodyInstance

It’s not that specific class… anything that descends from PrimitiveComponent has the problem. We originally encountered the problem with a class that inherits from SphereComponent

the chain of events seems to be SEditConditionWidget::Construct copies a pointer into PropertyEditor shared pointer… but this data contains struct FPropertyConditionInfo data which has a naked (uint8* BaseAddress) pointer which gets garbage collected (0xdddddddd) during compile right before it is evaluated

Hi there,

Epic has changed the way bug reports are handled and no longer use AnswerHub for reporting, instead it is now used for discussions related to bugs.

Please fill out the Bug Submission Form so Epic can investigate/fix the issue.

When you receive the UE-xxxxx issue number please post it here for others to reference as it will be publicly visible on the Issue Tracker at that point.

Thanks
