Hello,

this is <https://bugs.debian.org/809608>:

Debian used to build guile-2.0 without optimization, after changing to
-O2 random segfaults in guile-gnutls testsuite started to appear on
amd64.

This is easily reproducible by building gnutls 3.3.x (18, 19, 20
tested) on amd64 and running the guile testsuite until it fails:

(sid)ametzler@argenau:/tmp/GNUTLS/gnutls-3.3.20$ cd guile/tests
(sid)ametzler@argenau:/tmp/GNUTLS/gnutls-3.3.20/guile/tests$ j=0 ; rm openpgp-auth.scm.log openpgp-auth.scm.trs  test-suite.log ; while make  test-suite.log TEST_LOGS=openpgp-auth.scm.log ; do j=$(($j+1)) ; sleep .01 ; rm openpgp-auth.scm.log openpgp-auth.scm.trs  test-suite.log ; done ; echo xxx $j

This will usually be the case after run #1 or #2.

The issue not Debian specific, I also see this with GIT stable-2.0.

Both Ludovic and me have managed to generate backtraces:

Are you sure the GnuTLS issue has anything to do with that?

Guile has always been built with ‘-O2 -g’ by default, and building with
‘-O0’ has never really been supported (the VM engine could eat too much
stack space and do silly things.)

Hello,

Yes, I have now built guile more than a dozen times.

And I have just doublechecked again, comparing builds of

As you can see the former has no -Ox option, the latter has -O2. The
old debian/rules was buggy.
Downgrade guile to 2.0.11+1-9 from snapshots and the issue goes away.

Apparently this is still an issue.  Debian actually reverted to
compiling Guile with -O0:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=809608

Which is terrible of course.  Surely it is a bug in the Guile GnuTLS
bindings and not in Guile proper.  Compiling Guile with -O2 probably
holds on to less garbage; could it be that GnuTLS is erroneously not
making its data structures visible?

From what I can tell, Debian is back to building Guile with -g -O2:

  https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=guile-2.0&arch=i386&ver=2.0.13%2B1-4&stamp=1481333071&raw=0

Therefore marking this as closed.

Andy

Debian stopped shipping GnuTLS guile wrappers, the fact that guile
switched back does not imply that the bug was fixed.
