For the last few days, I got a strange segmentation error during C++ data initialization (of a dynamically loaded module?).
gcc-4.9 --version gcc-4.9 (Debian 4.9.1-15) 4.9.1 I tried both ld.gold and (traditional bfd) ld. I looked for similar issues using google, and it seems to suggest that I may have hit an initialization order problem of a sort. I am compiling a DEBUG version of C-C TB. I refreshed source code a few days ago before seeing this problem. However, other than minor patches in .js files, and a few changes in .cpp files, I don't think I have touched the initialization aspect of the source code. Anyway, please see the stack trace as below. ishikawa@ip030:/REF-COMM-CENTRAL/comm-central$ gdb /REF-OBJ-DIR/objdir-tb3/dist/bin/thunderbird GNU gdb (Debian 7.7.1+dfsg-3) 7.7.1 Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(y or n) y ishikawa@ip030:/REF-COMM-CENTRAL/comm-central$ The code in question is, indeed, an initializer. 189 190 // Default inputmode value is "auto". 191 static const nsAttrValue::EnumTable* kInputDefaultInputmode = &kInputInputmodeTable[0]; 192 * 193 const Decimal HTMLInputElement::kStepScaleFactorDate = Decimal(86400000); 194 const Decimal HTMLInputElement::kStepScaleFactorNumberRange = Decimal(1); 195 const Decimal HTMLInputElement::kStepScaleFactorTime = Decimal(1000); 196 const Decimal HTMLInputElement::kDefaultStepBase = Decimal(0); Has anyone seen the problem with the latest source file? Or does anyone have any idea for a possible workaround? cf. Decimal (I am not familiar with the code. My guess is that an initializer to set the value of kStepScaleFactorDate with Decimal(8640000) is failing, and maybe a function pointer used inside the initializer is not initialized (0x0000....000)?) _______________________________________________ dev-builds mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-builds
