           Summary: DMD crashes if it has to compile a project which is
                    too complex
           Product: D
           Version: 1.057
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: Globe13.Trotter17 gmx.de

I am trying to compile a medium sized project of roughly 380 files (using
phobos). As long as I keep the total code length (number of lines) under a
limit (yet unknown) dmd creates the executeables sucessfully. However, if I add
some functions to some classes or if I add some new files, it gives a
segmentation fault after roughly 5 minutes of compiling which consumes 350 MiB
of memory. 

If I run dmd with -v, the last lines it prints are:

function  equals
function  notEquals
function  greater
function  lesser
function  greaterOrEqual
function  lesserOrEqual
function  like
function  notIn
function  In
function  this
function  saveToDB
function  saveToDB
function  loadFromDBAsString
Segmentation fault

As far as I can see, the gcc for linking is not called yet.

I have the same problem with older versions of dmd, however I cannot try dmd2.

Is it possible you could run it under gdb and see where it is dying?

I tried this but there are no debug symbols.

Not really. Can you try recompiling dmd with debug symbols on?

I have managed to compile dmd :)

Here is the output i got from gdb:

Hmm. Sseg is a short. I wonder if it's overflowing? (Each function is put into
its own seg.)

In backend/cc.h, try changing it from a short to an int.

If the fix Walter has mentioned didn't work, try typing 'bt full' instead of
quitting straight away, that will give us a backtrace and the contents of the
variables at each stage. It might be a big output, it should help figure out
what's going wrong, if it isn't what Walter suspected.

I can confirm it did not work. It took a long time too; this time.

Unfortunately I did not use gdb so I am doing it again for some stack trace.

I got the same error again. I put "bt full" to my run script but I got no
further output. I do not know much about gdb so I do not know how to extract
more information.

GDB isn't picking up the bt full, try invoking it with:

gdb --args dmd $OPTIONS $FILES

Where $OPTIONS and $FILES are the usual arguments you pass to dmd when
compiling. When gdb loads, type 'r' to run dmd, and when it segfaults type 'bt
full', followed by 'quit'. All of these are, of course, without the quotes.

Now a got some more information:

(gdb) p s->Sseg
$2 = -32768

You can see that p s->Sseg is negative.
Either I made an error when I recompiled dmd or there is another place where
short has to be changed to int.
Just like in changeset 456 my line in cc.h is:
#if TX86

    int Sseg;            // segment index

I made a mistake while compiling dmd: I did not call "make -f linux.mak clean"
so the old object files have been used. 
Now dmd crashes at a different position ("seg" is still negative):

After I have modified the file cod3.c changing
struct fixlist
{   symbol    *Lsymbol;    // symbol we don't know about
    short        Lseg;        // where the fixup is going (CODE or DATA, never
UDATA)
...
};

 to 

struct fixlist

{   symbol    *Lsymbol;    // symbol we don't know about
    int        Lseg;        // where the fixup is going (CODE or DATA, never
UDATA)
...
};

dmd is able to compile successfully. However, now gcc(ld) failes with 
/usr/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to
000000000804a8b0

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00bff5f7 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libbfd-2.20.so
(gdb) bt








So it seems there was a reason the data type was short and not int

Any ideas?

Sorry I missed the Lseg, that should be int too. Another legacy of it being a
16 bit compiler. I don't know why it fails in ld, I'm trying out the test suite
on Linux now.
