Segmentation fault

Segmentation fault

[frank schwidom]

Hi

the following code leads to an segmentation fault in guile-1.6 and guile-1.8, when executed with --debug

----------------
(define (println x) (display x) (newline))

(let ((y (lambda (f)
           ((lambda (g) (g g))
            (lambda (g) (f (lambda (x) ((g g) x)))))))
      (streamof
        (lambda (f) (lambda (x) (cons x (delay (f x)))))))
  (force (cdr ((y streamof) 1)))  ;; without this line a correct errormessage will arise; actually a segfault happens

  (println 1 2)) ;; error expexted, but segfault arises

(To avoid anyone else duplicating the work:) I've started debugging
this.

Thanks for taking care of this one too!

(I had forgotten about it, which may be an indication that we should
really start using the bug tracker.)

Could we hide the backtrace, because it's always a bit scary to see a
backtrace in the middle of the "PASS" lines?  Something like:

  (with-output-to-port (%make-void-port "w")
    (lambda ()
      ...
      (display-backtrace)

Alternatively, could `unmemoize-expr' somehow be used for the test?

Perhaps the `debug-enable' and `debug-disable' could be in a
`dynamic-wind', but that's not big deal.

Thanks,
Ludovic.

I repro'd Frank's problem by adding the force/error expression to my
.guile.  Then, after fixing that, I ran make check, and just couldn't
understand (for a while) which test-use-srfi started failing... :-)

What would that involve?

Yes, I meant to do that but forgot.  No need for with-output-to-port
though; just need to change the second arg of display-backtrace to
(%make-void-port "w").

> Alternatively, could `unmemoize-expr' somehow be used for the test?

I looked at that, but couldn't work out what unmemoize-expr's args
should be.  Also, this would make the test depart further from the
reported scenario.  So I think best to stick with using
display-backtrace.

> Perhaps the `debug-enable' and `debug-disable' could be in a

Yes, I'll do that.  There's a couple of places in the tests that use
debug-enable/disable like this, so it's worth adding a
with-debugging-evaluator form to (test-suite lib).

Not much actually.  Just mention it in the relevant pieces of
documentation.  The bug tracker automatically sends emails to
`bug-guile' when new bugs are reported or when the status of existing
bugs changes.  We can also assign a bug to a specific developer, which
can help coordinate efforts.

Right.

Yes, makes sense.

Can you also add a `NEWS' entry?

Thanks,
Ludovic.

For 1.6 the fix is slightly different; please see below and let me
know if you have any comments.

To test this in 1.6, I've added all the "promises" tests from the HEAD
eval.test to the 1.6 eval.test.  All the tests pass for me, but is
there any risk that they might not pass on another platform, and so
introduce a regression in 1.6.x?

(I've committed the 1.6 fix and new tests for now, and will change them
if needed.)

Regards,
        Neil

It seems unlikely to introduce a regression.  However, that means we
should keep producing bug-fix releases of 1.6?

Thanks,
Ludovic.

I suggest that we ask on the lists if there is any demand for another
1.6.x.  When we do this, we should say what has been fixed since 1.6.8
- which is very easy, because it's all in the NEWS file.

So would then ask people to raise bugs on savannah, instead of
emailing bug-guile?  Or can we implement something to catch emails to
bug-guile and automatically raise corresponding bugs on savannah?
(Surely someone has done that already?)

> Can you also add a `NEWS' entry?

Yes.  Everything related to this fix is now done, in 1.6, 1.8 and
HEAD.

The former.  I'm not sure the latter is easily feasible.

Actually, some people already used the bug tracker to report bugs, but
most don't.

Thanks,
Ludovic.

It would be convenient if it worked though, as then we wouldn't have
to invalidate "email bug-guile@gnu.org" as a method of reporting bugs.

I feel like having a go at this; I'll report back on how it goes.

> Actually, some people already used the bug tracker to report bugs, but

Yes.  Ideally both methods would work and would have the same results.

        Neil

Note: just because we recommend using the bug tracker doesn't mean we
should ignore messages sent manually to `bug-guile'!  :-)

Nice!

Thanks,

Segmentation Fault

[Nigel Warner]

Hi all,

With gcc (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) 4.3.3 and 1.9.15

(define (test-proc)
 (display "some text"))

(procedure test-proc)

produces a segfault. I forgot the ? on the end of procedure?
which is how I found this out.

Regards,

Nigel Warner

Good catch, thanks!  Fixed in git.
