Crash Data

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040425 Firefox/0.8.0+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040425 Firefox/0.8.0+ I compiled Firefox from a cvs tree pulled on April 27. The compilation went ok and Firefox runs until I quit, where upon it crashes. I use following as my CFLAGS "-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" I usually compile firefox fine [and run fine]with the above CFLAGS set, but as of lately I am having trouble with the above CFLAGS when firefox is quitting. With the following errors: Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory. 0x028ab7d0 in nsAString::~nsAString() () Here is the backtrace Thread 9 (process 18241 thread 0xb303): #0 0x900075c8 in mach_msg_trap () #1 0x90007118 in mach_msg () #2 0x9249a808 in JVM_NewInstance () #3 0x924b9f70 in JVM_FillInStackTrace () #4 0x924e22b0 in JVM_StartThread () #5 0x924d0e04 in JVM_FindLoadedClass () #6 0x92577054 in JVM_UnloadLibrary () #7 0x924fdc9c in JVM_GetClassMethodsCount () #8 0x900247e8 in _pthread_body () Thread 8 (process 18241 thread 0xb003): #0 0x900075c8 in mach_msg_trap () #1 0x90007118 in mach_msg () #2 0x9249a808 in JVM_NewInstance () #3 0x924b9f70 in JVM_FillInStackTrace () #4 0x92553b20 in JVM_InitProperties () #5 0x92553920 in JVM_InitProperties () #6 0x92577054 in JVM_UnloadLibrary () #7 0x924fdc9c in JVM_GetClassMethodsCount () #8 0x900247e8 in _pthread_body () Thread 7 (process 18241 thread 0xad03): #0 0x900075c8 in mach_msg_trap () #1 0x90007118 in mach_msg () #2 0x9249a89c in JVM_NewInstance () #3 0x924a1a04 in JVM_GetClassLoader () #4 0x924a17a4 in JVM_GetClassLoader () #5 0x924fdc9c in JVM_GetClassMethodsCount () #6 0x900247e8 in _pthread_body () Thread 6 (process 18241 thread 0xa803): #0 0x900075c8 in mach_msg_trap () #1 0x90007118 in mach_msg () #2 0x9249a808 in JVM_NewInstance () #3 0x924a2a20 in JVM_ArrayCopy () #4 0x924b8b48 in JVM_MonitorNotify () #5 0x924b97a8 in JVM_MonitorWait () #6 0x072bb668 in ??

Dave, I presume the official nightly binary doesn’t crash like this.

Summary: FireFox crashes on OS-X with an "EXC_BAD_ACCESS" memory error → Personal Firefox build crashes on OS X with an "EXC_BAD_ACCESS" memory error [@ nsAString::~nsAString]
The Offical Nightly From April 29 does not crash.I also modify the Darwin.mk file in security/coreconf/ by replacing the optimize flags of O2 with my CFLAGS when I compile.
Dave, I had similar problems with my personal builds around the same time... pulling a new tree solved all my problems... so two questions 1.) do you still have this issue? 2.) did pulling a new tree help? Component --> build config
Component: General → Build Config
No Problems Anymore. I have two untest theories about what might have been the problem. I thought it might have been because I didn't set the MOZILLA_OFFICIAL flag, and/or because I didn't enable the recommended firefox extensions when building. Either way it is solved to me.
