Since at least several months, after compiling Emacs from source on Arch
Linux, the entire Emacs session crashes when displaying any GIF image. The
stack trace shows the crash happening inside giflib.

Forcing Emacs to build with libungif instead fixes the problem, so it has
something to do with how Emacs uses giflib.

Here's the stack trace from the crash in case anyone has any idea. I
haven't tried to analyse this in any depth myself yet.

Reproducing the error is very easy for me. All I have to do is to open any
GIF file and it immediately crashes.

The version of giflib in my release of Arch Linux is: 5.0.5

I can reproduce this error with the latest sync from the source repository
(I'm using the GIT mirror).

Regards,
Elias

What kind of GIF library did you use before this started to happen?
Was it an older version of giflib, or libungif?

Are you sure the header files you used for building Emacs against
giflib are consistent with the library?  Latest versions of giflib use
different signatures of several functions used by Emacs, creating a
binary incompatibility with previous versions, so if you are using
headers that specify old signatures, you will get crashes.

FWIW, I'm using giflib 5.0.5 (not on GNU/Linux, though) with Emacs
without any problems.

Yes, you are right of course. Thank you. I'm sorry for wasting your time.

I just now (just before I read your reply) discovered that I had an old
gif_lib.h lying around in /usr/local/include that configure had picked up
instead of the real one in /usr/include.

Elias

Is this

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=15637 ?

If so, please forward all relevant information there.

Oh dear. I had completely forgot that that I had filed that bug report last
time I came across the error (I moved by build to use libungif after that
and didn't may much attention to it until now).

Now I feel somewhat guilt at having wasted people's time on this. I do
apologise for that.

Elias
