Bug #1813

closed

Threading seg fault (1.9.1-p129 Linux/Mac)

Added by charlton (Charlton Wang) over 15 years ago. Updated over 13 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
ruby -v:
ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i686-linux]
Backport:
[ruby-core:24540]

Description

=begin
I'm not sure if there is a thread stack limitation change that is new to 1.9.1 but the following code now causes a segfault on Linux and Illegal Instruction on the Mac. I know this code is somewhat ridiculous (call stack is attempting to go 1001 levels deep) but this seems to work fine in 1.8.6. If the code is executed outside of a thread, everything works fine as well.

t = Thread.new do
n = 1000
n.times do |i|
Object.class_eval <<EOF
define_method "foo#{i}" do
if i < n-1
puts i
self.send("foo#{i+1}")
else
puts "done"
end
end
EOF
end
foo0
end
t.join

Thanks,
Charlton

I should have realized that the 1.9 series uses native threads and I suspect that's likely the cause (presumably a stack size limitation?).

The given code produces a segmentation fault under ruby 1.9.2-p0 and 1.9.2-p136 (tested in Ubuntu 64 bits). In 1.8 it doesn't crash:

  • thread_pthread.c (get_stack): add to a care of gurad page on Mac
    OS X. [Bug #1813] [ruby-core:24540]
  • signal.c (ruby_signal): SIGBUS use alternative stack too.
  • signal.c (sigbus): On Mac, thread stack overflow makes SIGBUS
    instead of SIGSEGV. thus, added stackoverflow check.
  • signal.c (default_handler): get rid of compilation warning.
  • signal.c (Init_signal): ditto.

Updated by kosaki (Motohiro KOSAKI) over 13 years ago

Linux and MacOS X had completely different bugs. Thus I've commited two patches, r32369 and 32371.
Now, both platform raise SystemStackError correctly.

thanks.
