198767 - xft + -O3 build crashes with exit 11 on some pages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 180309

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Mike McCabe]

I built from scratch on linux with a 1.3 release pull.  Mostly good, but the
browser dies with an exit 11 on some pages.  (See URL.)

The 1.3 release build doesn't have this problem.  I've traced the problem with
my build to the combination of these two options in my .mozconfig file:

ac_add_options=--enable-xft
ac_add_options=--enable-optimize=-O3

No exit with --enable-optimize=-O2.

So it doesn't crash if you build -O3 without xft?

Comment 2

[Andrew Schultz]

I built with xft and -O3 for a while and never had any problems...

can you attach a stacktrace from gdb (assuming you didn't --enable-strip)

Comment 3

[Antonio M. D'souza]

Moz 1.3 with GTK2 enabled always crashes on
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-jfs.html so I am going to attach
the stack trace I get when running it with the --sync option. 
My build is the standard RH8.0 RPM so I don't think it was built using -O3.

Attachment: GDB backtrace from crash when running with --sync

This build was not created using the -O3 flag.

[Andrew Schultz]

Antonio: you are not seeing this bug.  probably bug 173204

This bug is still present in 1.4.
(Mozilla 1.4 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703)

I am using the 1.4-12 RawHide RPMs, which are compiled with Xft enabled, and,
unfortunately, binaries are stripped.

A couple of additional URLs that also trip it:
   http://news.com.com/2100-1007_3-5070753.html
also stored at
   http://www.cs.rochester.edu/~bukys/temp/2100-1007_3-5070753.html
Actaully, currently almost anything from CNET or ZDNET dies.

This bug is NOT tripped in the non-Xft 1.4 Linux tarball at
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.4-sea.tar.gz


If no one else does, I'll do the build and recreate the problem myself and do
some backtraces, but meanwhile, I thought someone would appreciate the URLs at
least.

[Liudvikas Bukys]

Bug persists in 1.5b checked out from CVS today, configured --enable-xft.
I have attached logs and backtraces.

[Andrew Schultz]

Liudvikas Bukys: you're probably seeing bug 180309.  make sure you don't have MS
.fon fonts floating around in your font path.

Mike: are you still crashing here?  If not, please mark WORKSFORME

==> gtk

[Liudvikas Bukys]

Andrew Schultz, you are correct, this is the same as bug 180309.
Following that bug report, I installed fontconfig-2.2.1-4.i386.rpm from Raw
Hide, and both 1.4 and 1.5b run fine now.
