           Summary: Indeterministic assertion failure in rehash
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: timon.gehr gmx.ch


--- Comment #0 from timon.gehr gmx.ch 2012-08-28 12:28:46 PDT ---
DMD 2.060

The following assertion failure occurs indeterministically:

dmd: ../ztc/aa.c:423: void AArray::rehash_x(aaA*, aaA**, size_t): Assertion `0'
failed.

The frequency seems to increase as project size grows.

The assert happens when more than one item in the hash table has the same key.
A hash table may only have one item per key.

It would be helpful if you could run it under linux or osx, compile dmd with
-g, and get a stack trace.

I fail to trigger the error when using gdb. Seems like gdb is influencing on
what does trigger the error.

The error trigger as well when dmd is compiled with -g .

Looks like a race condition.

dmd isn't multithreaded, so it could not be a race condition.

It does, however, sound like memory corruption.

Can you run it under valgrind?

Already tryed, but I don't have enough RAM on my machine to do so. Consider
that compiling the project require more than 2.2Gb of RAM without valgrind.

If you're running the 64 bit dmd, shouldn't it be able to use far more virtual
memory (very slowly)?

Well, only if paging is enabled (i.e. there is a swap partition in use). I know
I set my systems up without paging because I practically never need it.

 deadalnix How much RAM does your system have?

I have 4Gb. Minus what the system uses plus some programs running, it is
already swapping when dmd uses 2.2Gb.

OK, I did ran valgrind into a terminal without any graphical interface. I hope
I'll not run out of swap because of the memory I won disabling the graphical
interface.

 valgrind output


Fixed the valgrind reported issue. It's definitely a corruption bug in the aa.c
code. Testing now.

If you want to try it out:

==============================
diff aa.bak aa.c
72c72
<                 delete en;
---

                 delete [] en;


79c79
<         delete en;
---

         delete [] en;


==============================

I love valgrind.

No, dmd compile :D But my program didn't using that patched dmd 6 time out of
10.

It means that the issue remains.

Then I suggest to run it again in Valgrind :-) Maybe there are other bugs to
fix it spots.

Ok, the next step is to compile your app without -g. The reason is because hash
tables are used in the dwarf debug generation, and I want to see if that one is
the problem or other uses.

Tested with flags : -m64 -w -debug -unittest (removing the -gc flag I usually
use).

I « successfully » triggered the error as well.

Sorry for being unavailable the past few days, I was moving from France to USA.

I can trigger the error on a regular basis with the following codebase :

git clone git://github.com/deadalnix/SDC.git
cd SDC
git checkout aa_assert
make

the program is made to be compiled on linux. My computer is a dual core athlon
with 4Gb of RAM.

I can't come up with a simple test case that trigger the error, because it
seems that size matter here.

Running into this issue since today. I'm developing on a 64 bit windows machine
targeting 32 bit, production machine is running 64 bit debian. Using DMD 2.062
on both boxes.

The bug pops up at the strangest moments. I can confirm it's indeterministic,
but so far the production box never failed to build. That said, I don't build
very often on production, esp. if the build failed on the dev box ;). For the
sake of completeness I've just tried compiling a version of the project on the
production box which almost always fails on the dev box. So far it keeps
succeeding.

On the windows box I recently flipped the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE bit on dmd.exe to
work around issue 6498, perhaps this has something to do with it?

As an indication of project size, the project is medium sized: vibe.d + 1937
lines, but it's very CTFE heavy: we're using vibe.d's diet template parser to
generate 21 rather large web pages. Compilation requires a little over two GB
of memory.

Is there any additional info I can provide?

I think somebody should provide a (snapshot of) project to compile to
investigate the problem, deadalnix's link is outdated and guessing based on
valgrind output is not a very good idea.

Yeah I was afraid of that :)

I'd have to take it up with the PHB's, not sure what the answer will be. TBH I
doubt I can make the code public. Not that there's anything of value in it, but
you know how it is...

I'll report back when I've got an answer.
