497119 - crash on [@ JS_EvaluateUCInStackFrame]

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[John J. Barton]

Using FF 3.5 nightly build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1pre) Gecko/20090609 Shiretoko/3.5pre

Install Firebug 1.5Xa03, http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.5X

Open the test case from
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495663

When the debugger keyword breaks into Firebug, move your mouse over Firebug's script panel.

I did not apply the exact procedure above, I'm using Firebug directly from SVN, but I'm fairly certain you can get the same result.

Sorry forgot the crash stats:
http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/9f9abaaf-a515-4189-bcbe-5386d2090609
and the stack points to frame.eval()

Comment 2

[Mike Shaver (:shaver -- probably not reading bugmail closely)]

Does it happen with Firebug 1.4b1?

Comment 3

[John J. Barton]

probably. 1.5a3 is the same as 1.4b2

Comment 4

[Rob Campbell [:rc] (:robcee)]

does this crash on mozilla central? This could be related to bug 483847. Same crash signature as bug 496981.

Comment 5

[Rob Campbell [:rc] (:robcee)]

crashes on mozilla-central (minefield nightly, 060809) as well

Comment 6

[John J. Barton]

Just to point out the obvious here, the problem did not occur for sure on
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1pre) Gecko/20090527
Shiretoko/3.5pre
since I used that to test bug 495663.

I did not see this problem until last night and I've been using 3.5 nightly builds.

Comment 7

[John J. Barton]

I recheck 0527, it does not crash.

Does not crash:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1pre) Gecko/20090605 Shiretoko/3.5pre

Does crash:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1pre) Gecko/20090608 Shiretoko/3.5pre

I will recommend Firebug users pick 0605

Regressed between the builds 09060503 and 09060603.

Pass: http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/rev/f706df925e9f
Fail: http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/rev/0ac3ca7d67a8

Andreas or Brendan, do you have an idea what could have been caused this?

I will check Minefield now so I can correlate.

Ok, on trunk it regressed between the builds 09060403 and 09060503:

Pass: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/9750fb0ef665
Fail: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/ae2437e9e9dd

Changesets: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=9750fb0ef665&tochange=ae2437e9e9dd

Ok, we overlap with all those check-ins. That makes it harder to find the causing bug.

Mmh why we are 0x0 here when it's given that it cannot be 0x0?

Also happens with JavaScript Debugger extension:

1. Install JavaScript Debugger: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/216
2. Restart
3. Disable Java
4. Launch Tools --> JavaScript Debugger
5. Wait a couple seconds then press F4
6. If the browser does not immediately crash, wait about 10 sec then press F4 again.

patch v1.5

>+         * NB: We have to fill cx->display backwards (callee is overwritten by

Isn't this trying to say what would happen (cx->display would be filled in backwards) if we didn't reverse?

How about "To reconstruct cx->display for fp, we have to follow the frame chain from oldest to youngest, in the opposite direction to its single linkge. To avoid the obvious recursive reversal algorithm, which might use too much stack, we reverse in place and reverse again as we reconstruct the display."

>+...        This is safe because cx is * thread-

Stray * crept in there, looks like.

r=me with these nits addressed.
