RE: Argh! What am I missing with MULE build? (21.0-b64 + Solaris 2.5 .1 + EGCS 1.1.1) 26 years, 1 month

Damon Lipparelli

Line 3186 is correct; sorry for the confusion. I am running whatever is in CVS as of 2:45 pm (PST) on 3/10. Also, you're right about pobj not understanding lrecords. In addition, without --gung-ho, marking a lrecord increments the pointer to the implementation held in the lrecord. Now onto today's debugging: I updated this morning, and re-built with debugging, no optimization, and without --gung-ho. See the attached stack trace for reference (this is from running "xemacs -q" under GDB). It looks like marking *(staticvec[1]) is where the crash is occuring (frame 5). This object is a Lisp_Vector with 16411 elements in it. Position 2753 is the symbol text-mode-symbol-table. All of the ASCII characters have been marked. Marking the 1th (that is, second) element of ct->level1[] is where the crash is occuring; "pobj" says: (struct Lisp_String *) 0x490400 {_size = 0, _data = 0x4e5000 "", plist = 3660} But, we end up in the Lisp_Type_Record section of mark_object() and crash. -lipp ps: Please note, configure'ing with --gung-ho fixes this problem. -----Original Message----- From: Gunnar Evermann [mailto:ge204＠eng.cam.ac.uk] Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 1999 4:54 PM To: XEmacs Developers Subject: Re: Argh!

Stepping over line 2186 in "alloc.c" corrupts *(staticvec[0]). I assume you mean line 3186? Which version of alloc.c are you using anyway? The line numbers in your backtrace look like the latest one from CVS, i.e. including Martin's patch after 21.0-b65? I am afraid I just realized that the gdb commands cannot currently handle marked lrecords properly (at least for !USE_INDEXED_LRECORD_IMPLEMENTATION), so if you mean by 'corrupted' that pobj say 'unknown Lisp_Object' then that is expected :-( I noted below the following line numbers what kind of object is about to be marked at each point in your backtrace: > #0 0x4eb24 in mark_object (obj=541672448) at alloc.c:3183 > #1 0x6a5f0 in mark_char_table (obj=542035968, markobj=0x4e960 <mark_object>) > at chartab.c:145 > #2 0x4ec04 in mark_object (obj=542035968) at alloc.c:3193 Lisp_Type_Record marker function > #3 0x4ee64 in mark_object (obj=-1605681276) at alloc.c:3247 Lisp_Type_symbol sym->value > #4 0x4edb4 in mark_object (obj=-2143416320) at alloc.c:3229 Lisp_Type_Vector element i > #5 0x52090 in garbage_collect_1 () at alloc.c:4510 staticvec[i] If I read this right we're trying to mark a chartable which is the value of a symbol which is an element of a Vector which is staticpro'd. Could you check what this vector contains? possibly before the actual marking? Presumably it is already corrupted before the GC -- do you always get the crash on marking this particular vector? Then you might want to try the watchpoint or always_gc stuff Martin mentioned... FWIW I have an additional report of such a crash under 21.0b65... -- Gunnar Evermann Speech, Vision & Robotics Group Engineering Department Cambridge University

That seems to be what xv and netscape do, at least they have no problems and show a 96x96 image. BTW do we really want to dump all the binary junk in the warning buffer? In my first try I also got a funny core dump in the process, but I couldn't reproduce it later on and haven't checked more closely. Apparently the modeline contained illegal (in the MULE sense) junk and balloon-help-motion-hook (the function in frame#20 below) tried to map-extents over it... Running a MULE build is certainly more interesting than a normal version. :-) Gunnar Fatal error: assertion failed, file /local/srcdisk/gunnar/src/XEmacs/xemacs/src/insdel.c, line 364, VALID_CHARPTR_P (ptr) Fatal error (6).

Bug in PCL-CVS release R-2_0-Beta_2 26 years, 1 month

Geoffrey Furnish

Hello, I am running a recent XEmacs beta, version 21.0.65, with the xemacs-sumo tarball from 3/5/99. I just noticed that there is a bug in the included PCL-CVS mode. What happens is that I marked two files, and committed them. This was done, however, the "ci" notice was not removed from them. When I subsequently hit 'x', both files were removed from the display, as they should've been. So the problem is just that the "ci" indicator didn't disappear when it was supposed to. I have noticed that this does work correctly with unmarked files. In that case, the "ci" disappears after the commit completes. Let me know if I can provide any additional information. -- Geoffrey Furnish Actel Corporation furnish(a)actel.com Senior Staff Engineer 955 East Arques Ave voice: 408-522-7528 Placement & Routing Sunnyvale, CA 94086-4533 fax: 408-328-2303
