Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-02-18 09:59:58 UTC
I can verify this, looks like sys-devel/m4 is to blame.

(I can see m4's process taking 100% CPU at the hang.)
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-02-18 10:10:21 UTC
never post links to external URLs for more info.  post everything in the bug.  post logs as attachments.
Comment 3 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2010-03-03 05:44:14 UTC
Same problem here on latest world update:

This is where it hangs with 100% cpu:

emerge rezound -v1

mine was also pid 17670, like the lithium cell size. Synchronomaly!

Anyway, same results as Diego. "brk(0x108b9000)" counts up continuously
Comment 9 Robin Couto 2010-06-08 21:12:19 UTC
what it's doing is repeatedly writing this block into ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/media-sound/rezound-0.12.3_beta-r2/temp/m4-N1qtbE/m4-10000, so after an hour it's ~4.5 million lines and ~115MB. The only different bit is the first line of the file, 

{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking if $CXX accepts -g " >&5


then this block repeats forever:

$as_echo_n "checking if $CXX accepts -g ... " >&6; } 

        cat > ajv_cxx_flag.cc << EOF
        int main(){}
EOF

        $CXX -g ajv_cxx_flag.cc >/dev/null 2>ajv_cxx_flag.err
        if test x"$?" = x"0"; then
                { # Avoid depending upon Character Ranges.
as_cr_letters='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
as_cr_LETTERS='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
as_cr_Letters=$as_cr_letters$as_cr_LETTERS
as_cr_digits='0123456789'
as_cr_alnum=$as_cr_Letters$as_cr_digits

if expr a : '\(a\)' >/dev/null 2>&1 &&
   test "X`expr 00001 : '.*\(...\)'`" = X001; then
  as_expr=expr
else
  as_expr=false
fi

if (basename -- /) >/dev/null 2>&1 && test "X`basename -- / 2>&1`" = "X/"; then
  as_basename=basename

Comment 10 Elliott Sales de Andrade 2010-07-04 04:20:52 UTC
This bug has possibly become a bit more annoying since the recent libpng stabilization, which means rezound needs to be rebuilt eventually.

I tried running the m4 command manually as in comment#5 and, of course, it hangs. But I did manage to figure out that it runs if you remove the command-line argument `--reload-state=/usr/share/autoconf/autoconf/autoconf.m4f`. Now, I really don't know what that file means, but I hope that helps someone else figure it out.

the ajv_CXX_FLAG definition is crap.  ignoring the broken autoconf handling and portability issues, move the closing bracket to the end and it fixes the m4 loop.

better yet, stop using that macro altogether and use AX_CXX_CHECK_FLAG from the autoconf-archive: http://www.nongnu.org/autoconf-archive/ax_cxx_check_flag.html

Comment 13 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-07-05 10:10:41 UTC
also, this doesnt seem to be a regression.  stable m4-1.4.12 behaves the same way.  more likely a changed autoconf macro triggered the underlying problem.
Comment 14 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-07-06 04:26:54 UTC
upstream m4 has confirmed that the current m4 code in rezound sucks.  the quoting is certainly broken and one of my suggestions should be implemented.  i'll pursue the infinite loop in parallel, but rezound needs to be fixed as well.
