After an initial install of 'eix,' I tried running `update-eix' with the following results: gdb $(which update-eix) (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/update-eix Reading Portage settings .. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): St9bad_alloc Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () (gdb) bt #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb7d34d1d in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0xb7d36333 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6 #3 0xb7eef603 in __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler () from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libstdc++.so.6 #4 0xb7eed43d in __cxxabiv1::__terminate () from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libstdc++.so.6 #5 0xb7eed472 in std::terminate () from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libstdc++.so.6 #6 0xb7eed5c5 in __cxa_throw () from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libstdc++.so.6 #7 0xb7eed7de in operator new () from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libstdc++.so.6 #8 0xb7ecd316 in std::string::_Rep::_S_create () from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libstdc++.so.6 #9 0xb7ecd3a2 in std::string::_Rep::_M_clone () from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libstdc++.so.6 #10 0xb7ecd909 in std::string::reserve () from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libstdc++.so.6 #11 0xb7ece2e5 in std::string::append () from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libstdc++.so.6 #12 0x080637be in VarsReader::VALUE_DOUBLE_QUOTE (this=0xbfe47200) at varsreader.cc:207 #13 0x080642f8 in VarsReader::runFsm (this=0xbfe47200) at varsreader.cc:340 #14 0x0804fd43 in VarsReader::read (this=0xbfe47200, filename=0x80760b3 "/etc/make.conf") at varsreader.h:242 #15 0x080662b6 in PortageSettings (this=0xbfe47340) at portagesettings.cc:92 #16 0x0804d485 in run_update_eix (argc=1, argv=0xbfe47524) at update-eix.cc:199 #17 0x0804e2d7 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfe47524) at update-eix.cc:317 # emerge --info Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r3, 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.3 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/bash_completion.d /etc/default /etc/dev.d /etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/init.d /etc/modules.d /etc/pam.d /etc/pango /etc/profile.d /etc/ssl /etc/ssmtp /etc/terminfo /etc/udev /etc/vim /etc/wget /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://londo/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 aac acl acpi alsa apm arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 bzlib calendar cdparanoia cdr crypt cscope cups curl dbus dio directfb divx4linux dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode encodeethereal esd exif expat fam fbcon fdftk ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif glut gnome gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal idn imagemagick imlib innodb java jpeg junit kde kdeenablefinal lcms libg++ libwww lirc mad mbox mikmod mime mmap mmx mng mono motif mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl nsplugin offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcntl pcre pdflib perl png posix python qt quicktime readline recode sdl slang sockets spell sse ssl svg svga symlink sysfs sysvipc tcpd tetex threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb vorbis win32codecs wmf xine xml2 xosd xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
Hi, could you please post your /etc/make.conf?
Created attachment 72669 [details] My /etc/make.conf
As a note, I just updated to eix 0.3.0-r2 and see the same behavior.
does the same happen with 0.5.0_pre2?
Benedikt, I just gave 0.5.0_pre2 a shot and I get the same behavior: # update-eix --version eix 0.5.0_pre2 (gcc-3.4.4, i686-pc-linux-gnu) # update-eix Reading Portage settings .. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): St9bad_alloc Aborted
guess appro had make.conf in mind to be the villain here.. could you try with a make.conf containing only these entries (with values for your box of course): CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
Benedikt, Okay, I did as you suggested and it did not fail. Is it supposed to find 0 packages though? Andy # cat /etc/make.conf CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" # update-eix --version eix 0.5.0_pre2 (gcc-3.4.4, i686-pc-linux-gnu) # update-eix Reading Portage settings .. Building database (/var/cache/eix) from scratch .. [0] /usr/portage/ (cache: cdb) Reading 100% Applying masks .. Database contains 0 packages in 144 categories.
Err, nevermind about that problem with 0 packages -- I had PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="cdb" in /etc/eixrc. After removing that, I got what looks to be correct behavior. # update-eix Reading Portage settings .. Building database (/var/cache/eix) from scratch .. [0] /usr/portage/ (cache: flat) Reading 100% Applying masks .. Database contains 10289 packages in 144 categories.
ok, so there is some error while parsing your make.conf, i'm not that familar with the eix source, but you could help by commenting lines step-by-step and see which line causes the error, so we slowly get somewhere ;)
Created attachment 73240 [details, diff] fix logical error with APPEND_VALUES in varsreader For every key=value pair, the parser appended the new value to the old value.. that adds up to a *lot* of memory :) And is totally wrong. This patch should fix the bug: If APPEND_VALUES is used as a parser-flag, varsreader parses the file into a separate map and merges the key/values afterwards.
0.5.0_rc1 in cvs
