Description Sven Müller 2018-09-28 19:07:59 UTC

spidermonkey compiles and install fine. But when I start it, it fails with a really weird error: 

root ~> js52
Assertion failure: !joinable(), at /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/spidermonkey-52.9.1_pre1/work/mozjs-52.9.1pre1/js/src/threading/Thread.h:122
memory access error

The addressed directory is the used temporary directory, when compiling the package. 

The error occurs on my ARM Nas. On my x86_64 system it works as expected.

I only have access to one arm system, and I can't reproduce on that.  Maybe the ARM arch team can help me out here?

strace js52

The strace output. Maybe it helps somehow.

I played around with the useflags custom optimization, custom cflags and system-icu to no avail. Regardless of how it is compiled, js52 --shell throws out that error.

spidermonkey <78 is no longer in tree. The codebase has changed substantially since then, so closing.
