Hi,
I encountered a new issue with latest firefox compiled with gcc-6.
I had very frequent random crashes. But never in safe mode. I finally
found that setting "javascript.options.baselinejit" to false in
about:config fixes the crashes.
Googling on Firefox JIT compiler problems, I found that:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218925 (crash in
js::jit::CodeGenerator::generateBody) and
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70526#c14 (GCC 6
miscompiles Firefox JIT compiler)
I don't know if it is a firefox or a gcc bug, nevertheless I recompiled
firefox with the patch given in the first link (addition of
-fno-schedule-insns2 to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS in js/src/Makefile.in) and
since I have no more crash !
Hope this can help.
Pierre
