[Gdal-dev] GetNextFeature error handling

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

Im trying to file away an outstanding bug in QGIS:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1211058&group_id=55820&atid=478378

If you look at the stack trace that the original poster kindly provided, you 
will notice that the problem occurs in OGRShapeLayer::GetNextFeature (). Of 
course the real cause of the problem is that the user has an invalid 
shapefile (there is inconsistency with the number of points compared to the 
number of dbf recs). 

My question is, is there any way to gracefully trap this error?

I tested on gdal 1.2.6 btw

Many thanks

Tim Sutton
