stack trace messed up un out of bounds error

Description

With GDC on intel macitosh 10.4 any program that generates an out of bound exception seems to somehow mess up the stacktrace (I think when trying to get the file name and line number of the place where the exception happens), or at least it does very ugly stuff with the stack. This happens even if I access a preallocated part (obtained setting the length higher and then smaller again).

In gdb I mange to get the stacktrace up to the callback for out of bounds errors 

#0  _D6object12traceContextFPvZC9Exception9TraceInfo (ptr=0x0) at genobj.d:968
#1  0x00005de3 in _D6object9Exception5_ctorMFAaC9ExceptionZC9Exception (this=@0x509f00, msg={length = 25, ptr = 0x4a648 "Array index out of bounds"}, next=@0x0) at genobj.d:918
#2  0x00005e09 in _D6object9Exception5_ctorMFAaAakC9ExceptionZC9Exception (this=@0x509f00, msg={length = 25, ptr = 0x4a648 "Array index out of bounds"}, file={length = 13, ptr = 0x4993c "hello_tango.d"}, line=49, next=@0x0) at genobj.d:923
#3  0x000187b4 in onArrayBoundsError () at lifetime.d:99
Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

This is most likely a problem of GDC, even the callback _d_array_bounds is not shown.

Unfortunatly I was not able to reproduce the error with GDC/phobos, setting a breakpoint in the exception constructor (../../../gcc-4.1.2/libphobos/internal/object.d:1072) works, it seems to be tango related :(

I was able to bracket the problem a little more here:

As it can be seen gc_malloc is already somehow broken (look at the file it is supposed to be in)

From what I can see the difference with phobos begin here phobos: 

_d_newclass at ../../../gcc-4.1.2/libphobos/internal/gc/gc.d:171
             p = _gc.malloc(ci.init.length);

tango: 

_d_newclass at lifetime.d:103
        p = gc_malloc(ci.init.length,
                      BlkAttr.FINALIZE | (ci.flags & 2 ? BlkAttr.NO_SCAN : 0));

but I do not see why then it gives problems...

This problem is present both in the latest trunk and 0.99.6

I think this may be a problem in the GDC compiler. It works fine on DMD/Win32.

05/09/08 14:33:46 changed by larsivi

It does also work with DMD on Linux, whereas GDC on 32 bit Linux produced a crash on line 192 of lib/compiler/gdc/lifetime.d

Tried to debug in Zero, but it didn't handle the typeinfo contents.

  • status changed from new to assigned.
  • milestone changed from 0.99.8 to External Bugs.

If the crash occurs within lifetime.d then it's almost definitely a GDC bug of some sort. I say this because the code in lifetime.d is not substantially modified from how it is in gphobos, as your comparison of the "broken" code can attest. So I'm going to mark this as an external issue. If you're inclined to report it, please append the GDC bug tracker ID to this ticket.

Reopen if this is a problem with other compilers
