================================================================ Dear Bug Team! My icc-built XEmacs just crashed in Gnus with the "freed lrecord" bug. The exit message says (deleting the constant parts): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fatal error: assertion failed, file /usr/src/xemacs/xemacs-21.5/src/print.c, line 1480, abort() Fatal error (6). [snip] Lisp backtrace follows: # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # bind (print-message-label) display-error((wrong-type-argument listp #<EMACS BUG: freed lrecord object 0x9394684 Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug>) t) # bind (etype debug-on-error inhibit-quit error-object) command-error((wrong-type-argument listp #<EMACS BUG: freed lrecord object 0x9394684 Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug>)) # (catch top-level ...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oh, now this is annoying. GDB (both version 5 and 6) cannot read the backtrace from the core file. Hmmmm, interactive use is also hosed. GDB can't show a stack trace even in a running XEmacs. It can't find local variables either. Actually, that is not terribly surprising. But icc comes with a debugger, idb, and here is what it has to say about the core file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Linux Application Debugger for 32-bit applications, Version 7.1, Build 20030303 ------------------ object file name: /usr/local/test/bin/xemacs core file name: core.21342 Reading symbolic information ...done Unexpected note type in core:1189489535 Core file produced from executable xemacs Initial part of arglist: /usr/local/test/bin/xemacs Thread terminated at PC 0xffffe002 by signal ABRT (idb) where (idb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ With interactive use, idb is able to successfully show me the last 5 or 6 stack frames, but gets lost beyond that. It can't find the local variables either. Off to check out the icc errata, then... At any rate, this shows that the Gnus-induced "freed lrecord" bug is not compiler-specific. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux diannao.ittc.ku.edu 2.4.20-20.9custom #2 Fri Oct 3 14:43:09 CDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ../xemacs-21.5/configure '--compiler=icc' '--prefix=/usr/local/test' '--mail-locking=lockf' '--with-pop' '--with-mule' '--with-xfs' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--with-widgets=athena' '--pdump' '--debug' '--use-kkcc' '--cflags=-O3 -Ob2 -tpp7 -xW -g -Wall -w1' XEmacs 21.5-b16 "celeriac" (+CVS-20031013) configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
