User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020514 Firefox/3.0b3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020514 Firefox/3.0b3

I am the extension developer and I got a report in the forums of some people with some Vista version seems to have some crash at startup when they used:

- OS: Vista 32 or 64 ultimate
- Firefox version 3 beta 3
- Extension HTML Validator 0.844
  (see here : http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/download.html)

The same works on Win 2000, Win XP, Win 2003
It works too if Firefox is downgraded to 2.0.
I had the impression but need confirmation that it was working too with
Firefox version 3 beta 2.

I do not have any vista ultimate to see or test this.

The extension used a C library and XPCOM.
I guess that something is wrong with XPCOM on this platform.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use vista 32/64 ultimate
2. Install Firefox 3 beta 3
3. Install Extension HTML Validator 0.844
  (see here : http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/download.html)
4. Restart Firefox -> crach
Actual Results:  
Crash at startup

Expected Results:  
Do not crash

typically this is caused by a bug in your extension.

if you can get a .dmp from them (see windbg: .hh .dump), that'd be great, if not you'll need to provide a pdb to them (or us).

I asked to an user to downgrade to Firefox 2 and use the same extension version and it works. I asked to confirm that the same worked in Firefox 3 beta 2. And it seems so, since some users spoke about it in the forum.

I do not have any vista or vista utimate to make the test myself.

When starting Firefox 3b3 with HTMLValidator 0.844 on Vista 32bit (SP1) using WinDBG the following appears:

I will attempt to get firefox to crash via the validator (once the debugger symbols are loaded)

I reproduced the error (see below for trace) - however, everything ran fine (including the Validator extension) once I resumed Firefox

ok.

mozilla_tidy_source/mozilla/extensions/tidy/src josh$ grep out nsITidy.idl |perl -ne 's/\s+void //;s/[(]/:\n /;s/,/\n/g; s/  / /g; print'|grep -v 'in '

is a list of things that worry me.

for starters, generally you shouldn't use inouts unless you have a good reason, and I don't think you do in most cases.

change your getLibraryVersion declaration to:
long libraryVersion;
it won't require you to change the C++ code (you'll obviously have to change the js code, but that's ok).

I believe the problem is nsTidyImpl::AnalyzeLine

        *aText = TY_(tmbstrdup)( TALLOC, sError );

where you're using the wrong allocator. You must use nsMemory::/NS_Alloc. I'd suggest you move away from 'string' and use AString instead.

Note: using inout requires reading the documentation, please don't use it.

On Vista Ultimate 64 SP1 Firefox 3 b2 and extension 0.844 crashes as well once verification starts. Exactly the same as with b3.

This what I get debugging with b3 (I hope I did it right)

mail.eraserhead@gmail.com: you need to at least get stack traces (kp), however atm I don't think we need more stack traces until mgueury@skynet.be fixes the extension.

Hi Timeless, 

You should know that this C code of the extension has not been touched since Firefox version 1.5. The extension works on all platform I know (Win 95/95/XP/2000/2003, Linux 32/64 bits, Linux PPC, MacOS Intel, PPC, FreeBSD 5 and 6)

And not in Vista ultimate :/ That I do not have...

An user to run the extension diagnostic logging: 
> see here:
http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/faq.html#DIAGLOG

And got this:
What you see in the logs is a line before and after each call of a C function.

Wed Mar 05 20:27:37 2008: <END> nsTidyImpl::GetIdOfAllErrors
----------------------------------------------------------

GetIdOfAllErrors is a XPCOM call from Javascript. It is called just once !

---------------------------------------------------------------------
          var id_list ={value:""};
-->       this.tidy.getIdOfAllErrors( id_list );
          var id_array = id_list.value.split(',');
          var t = "";
          for (var id in id_array) 
          {
            t += this.getString("tidy_"+id_array[id]) + "\n";
          }
          this.tidy.addTranslations( t );
          var prefix = this.getString("tidy_prefix") ;
          var linecol = this.getString("tidy_linecol")+" ";
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The log shows too that the function "this.tidy.addTranslations" is never called.
Else the log would contains a line about it. 
The XPCOM functions we speak about here are defined like this:


Also the last line of the logs shows too is that the crash is not appearing during the extension C part but during the javascript execution.

In the idl
-----------------------------------------------------------
    void getIdOfAllErrors( inout string aErrorList );
-----------------------------------------------------------

The C function is this:

-----------------------------------------------------------
/**
 * GetIdOfAllErrors
 *
 * @param aErrorId    : Id of the error
 * @param aErrorList  : a comma separated list with all message id in tidy
 */
NS_IMETHODIMP nsTidyImpl::GetIdOfAllErrors( char ** aErrorList )
{
  mDiagLog.log( "<BEGIN> nsTidyImpl::GetIdOfAllErrors" );

  char s[4096];
  char num[128];

  sprintf( s, "%d\0", (int)msgFormat[0].code );
  for( int i=1; msgFormat[i].fmt; ++i)
  {
    sprintf( num, ",%d\0", (int)msgFormat[i].code );
    strcat( s, num );
  }
  *aErrorList = TY_(tmbstrdup)( TALLOC, s );

  mDiagLog.log( "<END> nsTidyImpl::GetIdOfAllErrors" );
  return NS_OK;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------

It seems to crash afterward maybe because for example, the desalloc used in Firefox 3 is different on Vista ??? than in all other platforms ??? I have no idea of what to do to correct this since I do not have any machine to test this.

Thanks by advance

buggy extensions can work until behaviors in the engine which they rely on change. we recently enabled jemalloc which means that any violations of the nsMemory contract result in death. It should crash on any version of windows or any other platform, but only recently (b4?).

anyway. you aren't implementing inout correctly and don't need inout, you should switch to out or returns. And you should switch to AString which has obvious getter/setter methods which you do use correctly.

TY_(tmbstrdup) is *not* the right allocator for xpcom. NS_Alloc or nsMemory::Alloc are.

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/nsMemory:Alloc

I can't find a document for inout, but trust me, you're using it wrong and you don't need to use it. out or returns are sufficient for your needs.

Due that I always copy data in a newly fresh memory buffer before to return strings to Mozilla, I understand that I should do something like this:

*newString = (char*) nsMemory::Clone(s, strlen((const char*)oldString)+1);

in place of this:

*newString = TY_(tmbstrdup)( TALLOC, oldString );

Due to the way the memory is freed now in Firefox. (I must say I read a lot
and a lot of doc and never seen this, even if I think that you are probably right).

If it is just that, it seems to be easy to do. But I will need to find a machine to test this and I do not have one :-/ ...

that's correct. and sorry about the machine bit.

After trying with Firefox 3 beta 4, I got exactly the same problem on XP SP2.
Good news :) So, I can work on the problem now !

I replaced the tmbstrdup calls to copy the string sent back to Firefox 
by:

char * nsTidyImpl::MozStrdup( const char * utf8_str )
{
  return (char*)nsMemory::Clone(utf8_str, strlen(utf8_str) + 1);
}

And it works !! 

Thanks a lot, 

Marc

Ps: This will be in version 0.845 of the extension.

cool. but please do look into fixing your interface decls to use attributes, returns, and simple outs.

fwiw, an out can be used like this:

interface myIBar { void foo(out string x); }

obj.myIBar.foo(x={});
x.value;

which is no different from:
interface myIBbr { void foo(out string x); }
obj.myIBbr.foo(x={value:""});
x.value;

(less code on both sides).

it's of course better if you can do:
interface myIBcr { readonly string foo; }
x=obj.myIBcr.foo;
