WIP: neomutt. segfaulting outside of gdb, functional inside.

WIP: neomutt. segfaulting outside of gdb, functional inside.

[ng0]

In gnu/packages/mail.scm I created this package.
It builds succesfully, but when I run it, it segfaults.
Running it in gdb however makes it succeed and not
segfault. How do I debug such a software?

Have you tried running with “strace -f” to see what it appears to be
doing when the segfault occurs?

Another option would be a tool like valgrind (memcheck, etc..).

A version bump fixed this.
Fixed, if the problem was not getting into the application and exiting,
this is now possible.

Email in general makes me angry at the moment and I'm looking
for a fix to the many many messages I have, so I'm looking to use this
again in combination with notmuch instead of Gnus to see if it makes me
less angry and gets me faster down to almost zero inbox.

Configure "--enable-notmuch" requires gmime fix as it depends on notmuch
and then on emacs which in turn requires this fix, this is disabled now.
neomutt has many features, the ones I enable are the most obvious ones
to me.

Correction.

Segfaults when new emails are being added.
This is close to working, but needs some more fixes.

Let it generate coredump and open that in GDB.

I applied the patch and built neomutt. Works for me. I'd commit your
patch and solve your issue as bug.

The latest version of the patch with the more recent neomutt version?

I had no time to further debug this.
Do you mean my runtime problem is unique and you were able to run and
use it without segfault?

It's okay to commit I think. I had hessitations with lispf4 which is
also bugged on Guix, but it was commited too.

Any other opinions on this?

Yes. It may be related to your configuration, I haven't had a problem.
