ruby-1.8.2: test.rb: Seg Fault in test_check "exception"

M

me2faster

I reduced the sample/test.rb to just the test_check "exception"
section, and discovered that rb_raise_jump() in eval.c is trying to
assign from _frame.prev or _frame.prev->prev, which have not been
memory allocated correctly. With the original source in place, the seg
fault occurs at:

*ruby_frame = *_frame.prev->prev;

if I break it down into member-to-member assignments, the seg fault
occurs at:

ruby_frame->tmp = (*_frame.prev->prev).tmp;

Here's the stack trace:

....

Continuing.

We need more information, your platform, CPU, OS and others, with the
command line argument to configure script. The more information the
better. I'm afraid that some part of Ruby (especially GC) requires
special platform treatment, and you hit the point.

It's an HP Integrity NonStop server, using Intel Itanium 2 Processor,
running a POSIX based OS. Here are the environment variables that I
had set prior to calling ./configure:

CFLAGS=-g -Wnowarn -D_TANDEM_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1
-D_SIGMAX=44 -Woptimize=0
DLDFLAGS=-ul -obey /usr/lib/libc.txt -L . -L ../.. -L /G/system/zdll049
-lzrlddll
LOCAL_LIBS=-l${LIBRUBY_A}
LDSHARED = eld

Do you want me to post a copy of the (very long) config.log file ?

Hmm, Itanium. Is it possible for you to try out our latest snapshot
from ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/stable-snapshot.tar.gz ?

config.h is enough for us.

Hi,

I tried building with the latest snapshot as mentioned above, but got
the same results as mentioned in the root of this message thread, and
is consistent with my earlier posting (Message ID:

You've said the CPU was Itanium, but configure says it nsr, so that I'm
afraid Itanium support code in gc.c is not working at all.

So, what do I specify as the --build="" argument to ./configure in
order for the Itanium support to be utilized?

The current implementation requires the constant __ia64__ to be
defined on the Itanium processor. Besides that we need proper
<ucontext.h> and <unwind.h> or __libc_ia64_register_backing_store_base;

If you have Boehm's GC or Guile Scheme interpreter run on your
machine, let me know.

Hi,

I tried to re-build with the closest build-type I could find in
config.guess "x86_64" and used "-D__ia64__" in CFLAGS, but ran into:

/usr/bin/c89 -g -Wnowarn -D__ia64__ -D_TANDEM_SOURCE
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1
-D_SIGMAX=44 -Woptimize=0 -I. -I. -c eval.c
top = (VALUE*)ctx.uc_mcontext.sc_ar_bsp;
^
"/home/ruby/eval.c", line 9998: error(1565): struct "mcontext" has no
field "sc_ar_bsp"


This is because my local version of ucontext.h contains:

....
typedef int greg_t;
typedef greg_t gregset_t[38];

typedef struct mcontext
{
gregset_t gpregs;
} mcontext_t;

typedef struct ucontext
{
mcontext_t uc_mcontext;
} ucontext_t;
....

I don't have Boehm's GC or Guile Scheme interpreter on my machine, so
now I'm stuck.
