[Jason Barnabe (np)]

Problem same as bug 223964, but I can't tell if they're caused by the same thing.

Comment 3

[Dave Chand]

Below is the line in the debugger where firebird **** out:

Assertion failure: ((NULL == self->privateData) && (0 == self->tpdLength)) || ((
NULL != self->privateData) && (0 != self->tpdLength)), at prtpd.c:182

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

[José Jeria]

Bug 223964 is now fixed, David, can you still reproduce this?

Comment 6

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

bug 223964 was a .mozconfig issue, is this bug found in official nightlies or 
third-party/CVS builds?  (I doubt its in official nightlies or there'd be real 
confirmation on this already)

Comment 7

[Dave Chand]

I still have problems with this bug. But here is something that might help, when
I compile mozilla and firebird I change the security/coreconf/Darwin.mk
optimization to my own which are "-O3 -mcpu=7450 -mtune=7450
-fomit-frame-pointer -faltivec -funroll-loops -fsched-interblock
-falign-loops=16 -falign-jumps=16 -falign-functions=16 -falign-jumps-max-skip=15
-falign-loops-max-skip=15 -mpowerpc-gpopt"

Now I know someone will say why mess with the security config file, well for one
the programs do run faster. I use the same optimization when I compile mozilla
and mozilla works fine, but firebird does not. 

Yes Yes Yes I do need those optimization because without them mozilla is slow
(atleast for me) with those puppies mozilla becomes almost as fast as safari.

Attachment: Crash log

This problem was reproduced by Mozilla Firebird which built by OSX 10.3.2.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040117
Firebird/0.8.0+

However, it did not reproduce in official nightly buid 20040116.

build config is as follows.
--enable-strip --enable-crypto --enable-optimize=-O2 --enable-prebinding
--disable-tests --disable-debug --disable-dtd-debug --disable-jsd
--disable-ldap --disable-logging --disable-mailnews --disable-composer

Comment 9

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

in comment 8, don't build wallet (in the extensions list)

see bug 223964

Comment 10

[Hiro]

Oh,It was build by the old config file.
wallet was removed and built and it worked normally.

Comment 11

[Jim Lane]

Build runs fine with changes as per Ali. 

Comment 12

[Dave Chand]

Firebird still crashes even when compiled from Feb 06,2004 cvs.

Comment 13

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

Dave:

a) please post the .mozconfig you are using, or the flags shown in about:buildconfig
b) please try dropping individual optimizations and retesting, I'm guessing -O3
isn't helping, sometimes compilers do silly things and make bad assumptions in
order to run fast.  If you really want the perf improvements that come along
with using every optimization you can, you need to be willing to track down the
problems.

this works for everyone else who isn't monkeying with the standard compiler
flags.  If you want to find out what is specifically causing the problem, great,
but otherwise this is pretty much INVALID.

Firefox also crashed with the Solaris version and I attach the end

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

Leslie, can you verify the build config used in Sun's version?  Specifically
looking for info on the extensions configured, if you built wallet (either
explicitly or by including default) you will see a similar crash.

Dave, can you post the contents of about:buildconfig or your .mozconfig?

Comment 16

[Steven Tamm]

I find that a similar thing occurs on Solaris 2.8 with the contrib build.  It
appears to be dying inside nsGetWeakReference() in the middle of some
javascript.  Stack trace available on request.

Dave, the extensions bit is your problem too.  Note that you have:

--enable-extensions=default,-spellcheck,-access-builtin,-content-packs,-cview,-
help,-inspector,-irc,-layout-debug,-python,-venkman,-tridentprofile,-sql,-sroaming

and what you should have (add inspector to get the default build options per
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/build.html)

--enable-extensions=cookie,xml-rpc,xmlextras,p3p,pref,transformiix,universalchardet,typeaheadfind,webservices

Resolving as a dupe of bug 223964

Bug 233724 covers the Sun issue, so that part of the discussion should move
there, though I think we're probably looking at another build-config problem.

[Dave Chand]

Not so fast, I just compiled firefox feb 12, 2004 from feb 11,2004 cvs ~without~ any compiler flags or 
any optional flags and I still get the same error. AGGGHHH

let me know what else you need to resolved this.

Comment 21

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

Dave, you didn't change the line I told you to change in your .mozconfig file, 
so of course it will crash.  Please see my last comment.  If you have "default" 
or "wallet" in your --enable-extensions line, you WILL build wallet and you 
WILL crash on opening this part of the prefernces dialog.

Not sure about OS X, you might need to re-run configure and do a make clean to 
rebuild properly.
