It makes cscope completely unusable on amd64. pageexec@freemail.hu 2006-11-10 16:41:08 0000 Created an attachment (id=101639) fix for 64 bit crash the attached patch is the result of some brute force attempt at fixing the amd64 crash, but it seems to work for me at least. upstream should definitely be asked before widespread inclusion ;-). mkennedy@gentoo.org 2006-11-13 22:14:24 0000 PaX Team, would you mind getting upstream to review your patch? pageexec@freemail.hu 2006-11-14 01:49:23 0000 i'm going on vacations and can't deal with this right now, so feel free... fauli@gentoo.org 2006-11-24 11:20:47 0000 I send the patch upstream, let's see if there is a reaction. fauli@gentoo.org 2006-11-25 00:45:06 0000 There was a reaction, here a summary: A real repair can only be done by reimplementing it, as it was hacked for Alpha many years ago. The maintainer has no motivation to redo it, so he waits for someone who has. But he will investigate further on the patch and tell me. I will report. fauli@gentoo.org 2006-11-26 02:23:29 0000 The maintainer Hans-Bernhard Br fauli@gentoo.org 2006-11-26 02:23:29 0000 The maintainer Hans-Bernhard Bröker investigated, but could not reproduce the error on his SuSE 10.1 machine (on AMD4). He asks, if someone who can reproduce the bug is able to provide the internal variables of invnewterm() when crashing. pageexec@freemail.hu 2006-11-26 14:26:55 0000 i just lost my access to the amd64 box i used to use so can't help with this anymore, sorry... did he try to reproduce it on a kernel source tree? it's important because cscope did work on other trees i tried it on, only the kernel (it was 2.6.18 or so) triggered the bug for me. fauli@gentoo.org 2006-11-27 07:32:47 0000 15.6 is available, but it was not mentioned on the Homepage (SF had it though). Hans-Bernhard just noticed, so we first bump cscope and try again. broeker@users.sourceforge.net 2006-11-27 14:01:08 0000 (In reply to comment #11) > did he try to reproduce it on a kernel source tree? Yes, I did. I ran 'make cscope' on my Linux box's kernel tree, exactly as in the original report. But OTOH, I don't use Gentoo, so my kernel tree is probably quite different from yours. pageexec@freemail.hu 2006-11-27 14:32:24 0000 (In reply to comment #13) > (In reply to comment #11) > > did he try to reproduce it on a kernel source tree? > > Yes, I did.

But OTOH, I don't use Gentoo, so my kernel tree is > probably quite different from yours. i don't think the exact kernel tree matters, i used it on a PaX patched one for example, not that of gentoo. maybe there's a compiler issue as well, although for my part i didn't use anything special like SSP or PIE (here i compiled it with gentoo's gcc 3.4.6). did you also look at the suggested patch and if so can you tell us if it makes any sense at all or not (i have about 0 cscope internals knowledge, it just seemed 'plausible' to patch it like this, based on the surrounding code)? broeker@users.sourceforge.net 2006-11-27 15:04:06 0000 (In reply to comment #14) > did you also look at the suggested patch and if so can you tell us if it makes > any sense at all or not (i have about 0 cscope internals knowledge, it just > seemed 'plausible' to patch it like this, based on the surrounding code)? The patch feels about right. But without seeing the actual failure myself, that's about all I can say bout it. The key problem is that invlib.c was written at a time when for all practical means and purposes, the world was indeed a VAX, i.e. ints, longs and pointers were all the same 32-bit format. It's anyone's guess what each of those magic numbers actually means. Given that state, and the mostly complete absence of documentation about how this code is supposed to work, I'm afraid any serious work on it would have to start with a rewrite from scratch ;-( I did that once (exchanged all of invlib.c by a BerkeleyDB), but performance was a bit too bad, particularly for source trees comparable in size to the amount of RAM in the machine. fauli@gentoo.org 2006-11-28 09:49:43 0000 Can anyone try with 15.6, please? dang@gentoo.org 2006-11-28 11:00:15 0000 15.6 doesn't segfault for me. fauli@gentoo.org 2006-11-28 23:58:10 0000 So I recycle that bug. amd64 please stabilise cscope 15.6 because of absolute failure on your platform. Hans-Bernhard...thanks for your active support. dang@gentoo.org 2006-11-29 08:56:25 0000 Done. Thanks, everyone. agriffis@gentoo.org 2006-11-29 14:53:11 0000 better late than never... 15.6 works for me too.
