Summary: Random Segmentation fault when run with -j n Project: make Submitted by: muzaffar Submitted on: Saturday 10/20/2007 at 08:20 Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Bug Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: 3.80 Operating System: POSIX-Based Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Hello, I have this Makefile (attached) and when I run it with -j 8 then I get random segmentation faults(not always on same point). Running it without -j option works fine and I do not get segmentation faults all the time (it just random). My guess is that as I calculate values for some variable only on fly so may be when run with -j option, two threads try to calculate/access the same variable and that causes a crash. If I force the calculation of those variables before any rule to run then it works fine. So may be there is some variable locking problem.
