Bug#649471: gdb: internal error + abort: addr_string_to_sals: Assertion `sals.nelts == 1' failed
Package: gdb Version: 7.3-1+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Run gdb on SyncEvolution (compiled from source in my case). Set a breakpoint in SyncEvo::Exception::handle(). Run so that an exception is thrown. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Reading symbols from /home/pohly/work/syncevolution/src/syncevolution...done. (gdb) b SyncEvo::Exception::handle Breakpoint 1 at 0x8af22e: file /home/pohly/syncevolution/syncevolution/src/syncevo/util.h, line 444. (gdb) run --daemon=no --print-items foo bar Starting program: /home/pohly/work/syncevolution/src/syncevolution --daemon=no --print-items foo bar /build/buildd-gdb_7.3-1+b1-amd64-guQjni/gdb-7.3/gdb/breakpoint.c:11006: internal-error: addr_string_to_sals: Assertion `sals.nelts == 1' failed. A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. Quit this debugging session? (y or n) y /build/buildd-gdb_7.3-1+b1-amd64-guQjni/gdb-7.3/gdb/breakpoint.c:11006: internal-error: addr_string_to_sals: Assertion `sals.nelts == 1' failed. A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. Create a core file of GDB? (y or n) n I made that core file available here: http://estamos.de/download/tmp/core-gdb-7.3-2021.gz Note that SyncEvo::Exception::handle() is an overloaded function in a C++ program. I would have expected more than one breakpoint to be set. I think that previous versions of gdb did that. SyncEvo::Exception::handle() is called inside catch() blocks, *however* further debugging shows that it wasn't invoked in the catch block of this particular exception. But not setting the breakpoint avoids the problem. SyncEvolution was compiled with -g and no optimization. I also tried with clang 2.9, same result. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gdb depends on: ii gdbserver 7.3-1+b1 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7.2 ii libncurses5 5.9-2 ii libpython2.7 2.7.2-5 ii libreadline6 6.2-7 ii zlib1g1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 gdb recommends no packages.

Hello Patrick, 2011/11/21 Patrick Ohly patrick.o...@intel.com: Could you please retry with GDB from experimental? 7.4-1~cvs2017.2 from experimental does indeed fix the problem: multiple breakpoints are set again for SyncEvo::Exception::handle and the assertion is not triggered. I'll try to evaluate if it is worth to backport the fix for 7.3 or wait for next upcoming release.
