SystemStackError backtraces should not be reduced to one line
Added by postmodern (Hal Brodigan) over 12 years ago. Updated over 10 years ago.
Description
When debugging "SystemStackError: stack level too deep" exceptions, it is not helpful that the backtrace is reduced to one single line. Most of the time Ruby incorrectly identifies where cycles begin, resulting in an unrelated "file:line" as the backtrace. A more useful behaviour would be to print the last 30 lines of the backtrace, and have the developer identify which "file:line" is causing the cycle. This is similar to how JRuby handles SystemStackError backtraces.

Could you be more descriptive, please? Comparing outputs from Ruby and JRuby, for example.

Formatting of the method-name, file, line-number aside, JRuby does not attempt to compact repeats within the backtrace.
Updated by postmodern (Hal Brodigan) over 12 years ago
If it wasn't clear from the above example, Ruby 1.9.3 returns a backtrace pointing to a line of code in dm-core which has nothing to do with the bug. The actual bug is revealed in the full JRuby backtrace where one can see dm-core calling back into Ronin::EmailAddress#to_ary, causing the infinite recursion.

Matz, could you reply to it?

I don't feel I exactly understand the situation, since the specified line in CRuby backtrace does not appear in JRuby's.
That might mean avoiding backtrace truncation has no meaning, or CRuby could have yet another bug.
Do you have any opinion, ko1?

Some details on the JRuby side of things:
-
SystemStackError is not consistently raised. There are a decreasing number of places in JRuby's codebase where we attempt to rescue Java's StackOverflowError and reraise it as SystemStackError. Largely, this is because at the point where we catch a StackOverflow, there may not be sufficient stack available to construct the Ruby exception. So you can't expect to always get SystemStackError in JRuby.
-
SystemStackError is an unrecoverable error in any runtime. It can happen at very odd times, including during native bits of MRI, exception handling or ensure blocks, and so on. In general, we treat a stack overflow as a fatal error case.
-
JRuby in general will just allow the Java StackOverflowError to propagate as-is. You can catch the Java exception using JRuby's Java integration, but as mentioned above stack errors are generally unrecoverable.
-
The JVM (Hotspot, at least) only returns a subset of any deep stack trace, even for non-overflow cases. This is the main reason for the truncated backtrace.

It seems to me that a full backtrace can safely be generated (patch against trunk attached).
The one line backtrace behavior was introduced with this patch: https://github.com/shyouhei/ruby/commit/ecd11fb371b5f4a00d0b0006b325de3c5437b8d2
It avoids the crashing call
rb_funcall(info, rb_intern("backtrace"), 0),
which is performed when one calls get_backtrace(mesg), defined in eval_error.c.
On the other hand, rb_make_backtrace() will not grow the stack, as far as I can tell.
I've tested the patch with ruby trunk and 1.9.3-p392.
The reason I came here is that we were bitten by a SystemStackError in production, which we couldn't reproduce, and the one line information wasn't enough to debug the issue.

It has been pointed out to me that the patched ruby will likely crash when the patched code run on a sigaltstack.
I'm working to sort this out.

I'm not sure @matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)/@ko1 understood what @postmodern (Hal Brodigan) was trying to describe.
Given an overlfow.rb ruby program:
200.times do |i|
eval <<-RUBY_EVAL, nil, __FILE__, __LINE__ + 1
def foo_#{i}(&block)
foo_#{i+1}(&block)
end
RUBY_EVAL
def foo_200
yield
end
end
def bar
foo_0 { bar }
end
bar
When run on ruby 2.0, this is the output:
vit@localhost ~> ruby -v overflow.rb
ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-darwin12.2.0]
overflow.rb:4: stack level too deep (SystemStackError)
As can be seen, only a single line of backtrace data is provided, thus the only thing that is known - is the stack was blown while executing a foo_x method, but none of the foo_x methods are recursive (the real culprit is the bar method). Debugging an error like that is nigh impossible on Ruby 2.0.
Contrast this with other VMs:

- Has duplicate Feature #9805: Backtrace for SystemStackError added
Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 10 years ago
Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 10 years ago
- Status changed from Assigned to Closed
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
Applied in changeset r46502.
Backtrace for SystemStackError
- eval.c (setup_exception): set backtrace in system stack error
other than the pre-allocated sysstack_error. [Feature #6216] - proc.c (Init_Proc): freeze the pre-allocated sysstack_error.
- vm_insnhelper.c (vm_stackoverflow): raise new instance for each
times without calling any methods to keep the backtrace with no
further stack overflow.

I can confirm that this is working on current master, but with one problem - if the exception is ever rescued and then re-raised (even with just a plain raise, not raise e or anything), the backtrace is reset to where it's re-raised from. I'm forced to comment out the entire rescue block for each one to find the true source

... and fixed in my testing today
