If any error is encountered during execution of the first subcommand of
a freshly created bar configuration, parsing apparently is to be aborted
and the current bar config is freed. The pointer to that memory is left
dangling though, leading to a use-after-free on successive bar
subcommands. This quite reliably ends in a crash like so:
sway -c reproducer.config
00:00:00.083 [sway/config.c:865] Error on line 2 'foo bar': Unknown/invalid command 'foo' (s)
free(): double free detected in tcache 2
00:00:00.608 [swaynag/swaynag.c:451] failed to register with the wayland display
Aborted (core dumped)
Minimal reproducer config:
bar {
foo bar
position top
}
Other messages:
malloc(): unaligned fastbin chunk detected
double free or corruption (fasttop)
The invalid command has to be the first for a newly created bar config.
Removing the command or switching order so it's not the first one masks
the problem.
Prevent this from occuring by resetting the pointer to NULL after
freeing the memory.

Installation
From Packages
Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.
If you're interested in packaging sway for your distribution, stop by the IRC channel or shoot an email to sir@cmpwn.com for advice.
Compiling from Source
Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.
Install dependencies:
- meson *
- wlroots
- wayland
- wayland-protocols *
- pcre
- json-c
- pango
- cairo
- gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
- scdoc (optional: man pages) *
- git (optional: version info) *
*Compile-time dep
Run these commands:
meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install
On systems without logind, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.
Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config.
Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.
Running
Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
