1290837 - Startup Crashes in Webgl Debug Builds due to logging ?

Status: NEW

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Carsten Book [:Tomcat]]

Attachment: startup stack 1

When running topsite tests in bughunter i get on debug builds assertion failures/crashes like 

Assertion failure: [GFX1]: Potential driver version mismatch ignored due to missing DLLs 0.0.0.0 and 0.0.0.0

and 

Assertion failure: false (An assert from the graphics logger)

all with the signature:

mozilla::gfx::Log<int, mozilla::gfx::CriticalLogger>::WriteLog mozilla::gfx::Log<int, mozilla::gfx::CriticalLogger>::Flush mozilla::widget::GfxInfo::Init mozilla::widget::GfxInfoConstructor mozilla::GenericFactory::CreateInstance

and beta -> nightly debug builds ?

also the trees seems to run into such issues like bug 1289761
can maybe some look into this ? 

could this be caused by Bug 635464 ?

the gfxinfo change might point to bug 1282364 - but not sure, so far was not able to reproduce but this seems to happen during topsite tests quite often

Can you post the graphics section of about:support from this machine?

updated now the graphics driver to the intel onboard drivers - will monitor if the crashes still occur.

But i guess during setup of the system i forgot to install a graphics drivers because everything looked normal :)

We still should fail gracefully in this case.

David, if this is from bug 1282364, we should deal with it as soon as possible now that it made it to aurora.

There's nothing here to indicate the code shuffling in bug 1282364. The comment on this assertion[1] looks non-critical (at least, it's not clear what will go wrong after the assert fires).

OK, right, I remember this one.  So, yes, this is a non-critical one, but it did give us a scenario where this can happen, which is good to know.  I'll leave it in there because it isn't bother anybody (now), and assign to me to look at eventually.  Removing all the status flags, this is a debug only warning, triggering as assertion.

thanks milan! also the box that had this error will now get a real graphics card in a few days :)
