362462 - GCC 4.3 Changes make Firefox fail to initialize.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Kent Fredric]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061201 BonEcho/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061201 BonEcho/2.0

When compiled against GCC4.3, firefox simply hangs on inititialization, and sits there and burns processor time in an idle loop. ( 

Im no code genius, but recently GCC made a change to the way "extern inline" works. While I cant see myself this being in firefox's code, its easily the culprit.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile Firefox with GCC-4.3 ( gentoo-portage's 4.3.0_alpha20061111 )
2. Run firefox
3. See Failure
4. Switch compiler back to 4.1 
5. Compile firefox
6. See firefox run.


Actual Results:  
 $ firefox
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-xremote-client: Error: Failed to find a running server.
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-xremote-client: Error: Failed to find a running server.
No running windows found
fcntl(F_SETLK) failed. errno = 11

Comment 1

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

hm... how do you know that "extern inline" is the cause of this bug?

Comment 2

[Benjamin Smedberg]

I actually had the crash appear in GCC4.2 candidates... I traced it back to "manifestFileURL" being a nsSimpleURI instead of a nsStandardURL. I traced it back to an error in nsIOService::NewURI but I forget what was the cause.

Comment 3

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz]

The problem is annoying and makes all mozilla packages unusable (firefox, thunderbird, xulrunner) when building with gcc 4.2 20070214 (4.2 which is now default on some development lines of Linux distributions).

Isn't urlType **** here? (see backtrace below)

Forcing urlType to some proper value makes thunderbird compiled with gcc 4.2 start.
No idea about mozilla code details... trying to find out why urlType is set to ****.

Attachment: Another workaround

Here is another workaround, still only fixing the symptoms. Might this be related to http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31136 ?

[Frederic Bezies]

I don't know if it is related, but I cannot get to work an homemade gcc 4.3 trunk firefox build under a virtualized Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex AMD64 which is using gcc 4.3.

I get a "*** buffer overflow detected ***: ./firefox-bin terminated" error message.

I will attach the error log I am getting.

gcc version used with Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex :

Comment 9

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Can't block on this without more information or a cause identified. This is certainly not a generic problem because distros (and me personally) use GCC 4.3 all the time successfully.

Please reopen the bug if somebody can come up with a better diagnosis or identify particular config options that cause this.

Comment 10

[Kent Fredric]

Its been a long time since this bug showed up. 4.3 was still alpha/beta back in '06.  And firefox split into Xulrunner for the 3.0 release since then. 

I personally have not had this problem recurring as of late, so one would imagine the cause is long dead. 

I don't think I've seen this issue now for ~15 months, but I didn't even remember about this bug till the emails turned up lately. 

So its possibly still occurring on older ff, but its not happening to me now on 4.3s with FF3/3.1
