[Bug target/13391] New: AIX: crash on throw/catch between shared objects

[Bug target/13391] New: AIX: crash on throw/catch between shared objects

[greed at pobox dot com]

The attached testcase, while quite contrived, illustrates a problem we are
experiencing on AIX with GCC 3.3.2.  Tests suggest that the problem actually
goes back to GCC 2.95.3 or earlier on AIX 4.3, and is not unique to AIX 5.2.

When run, the program fails to catch the exception, and instead aborts.  The
stack trace after the abort is:

#0  0xd005d1c0 in pthread_kill () from /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o)
#1  0xd005cc4c in _p_raise () from /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o)
#2  0xd01e6508 in raise () from /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o)
#3  0xd0206400 in abort () from /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o)

TestThreadFunction.C:12
#9  0x100005bc in main () at aixtest2.C:11
#10 0x100001dc in __start ()

If you compile without -pthread, you get a very similar traceback:
#0  0xd01e6514 in raise () from /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o)
#1  0xd0206400 in abort () from /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o)

#4  0xdc8847d4 in __cxa_throw (obj=<incomplete type>, tinfo=<incomplete type>, 
    dest=<incomplete type>) at  _start_ :80
#5  0xdc68b630 in TestFun2::foo() (this=0x2ff223a5) at TestThreadFunction2.C:9

TestThreadFunction.C:12
#7  0x1000053c in main () at aixtest2.C:11
#8  0x100001dc in __start ()

...only without the pthread signal propagation.

The testcase contains a template which calculates a factorial, in order to
produce very large shared objects.  This is to simulate the size of the shared
objects in our production code; if the shared objects are small, the fault is
not reliably reproducable.

Hi,
  I'm experiencing this too... Except I've discovered it doesn't have anything
to do with shared libs...

I'm using gcc-3.3.2 on AIX 4.3.3.0



Try this:

---- main.cpp ----

#include <stdexcept>

extern void foo();

int bogus;

int main()
{
        try
        {
                foo();
        }
        catch(std::exception &e)
        {
        }
        catch(...)
        {
        }

        return 0;
}

---- foo.cpp ----

#include <stdexcept>

int bogus;

void foo()
{
        throw std::runtime_error("test");
}

---- now compile it with:
	g++ main.cpp foo.cpp  

You may need to add "-Xlinker --allow-multiple-definition" if you're using GNU's ld.

For me, a.out will produce

	IOT/Abort trap (core dumped)


Now comment out the definition of bogus() in either source file.  Then I get no
problem.  I never use bogus.. it's just if it's there, then the problem exists. 
The same think will occur if you make 'bogus' not an int but a function.  I
guess it's just that if there are any duplicate symbols the problem occurs.

I really need to get this resolved.  Please let me know if you find out anything.

Thanks,
   Davy

The first testcase does not build and the second testcase is invalid due to 
duplicte definitions.  Resolving the duplicate fixes the bug.

Are you refering to my main&foo example as testcase 2?

Resolving the dups in my example does in fact 'fix the bug'.  However, I'm
linking against existing libraries that have duplicate symbols that I have no
control over and I can't use exceptions because of it.  I could say, "well ugh,
I won't use exceptions."  However using dynamic_cast to a reference may throw
and exception which will now abort the process.

Do you have any idea why a duplicate symbol would cause exceptions to miss being
caught?  Is it the compiler or the linker?  I've tried AIX's ld and GNU's ld and
both have identical problems.  That leads me to believe it's either the
compiler, the assembler or maybe some runtime lib.  Any ideas?

Thanks

How does it not build?  It is a degenerate and huge tescase, you will need lots
of /tmp and swap to link it.

OOOOPS, my fault, I'm sorry, I forgot to say, you have to use
-ftemplate-depth-10000 to get it to compile.  I think that's probably the problem.

I've been trying to follow the stack unwind code, but I don't know enough about
Dwarf2 to make sense of it.

I'd be more than happy to just ditch AIX, but it isn't up to me.

Subject: Re:  AIX: crash on throw/catch between shared objects 

	GCC scans object files and libraries to find constructors,
destructors, and EH frames using a wrapper around the linker called
collect2.  In some cases, such as this one, the duplicate symbols causes
collect2 to become confused.  

	The library is broken if it is generating duplicate symbols.  This
problem report really is an enhancement request that GCC on AIX be more
robust in the face of source code that produces duplicate symbols.

OK, if I update:
- TestThreadFunction2.H so that it defines templates A_Factorial and
B_Factorial, which differ in name only are are identical to the original
Factorial template,
- TestThreadFunction.C so that it instantiates A_Factorial,
- TestThreadFunction2.C so that it instantiates B_Factorial,
- collect2.c so that it does NOT emit a definition of _GLOBAL__DI or
_GLOBAL__DD, and also does not emit an export for those symbols,
- the linker flags to include -Wl,-bH:0 (so that link warnings result in a
failed link)

the program still abort()s.

Sometimes it doesn't abort, however running slibclean will cause the next
invocation to abort.  I haven't figured out what needs to be done to guarantee
success or failure.

I think there are two separate issues here.
The issue reported by Davy Durham does not relate to shared libraries and may 
be an enhancement request for duplicate symbol handling.

But the original report is a problem throwing exceptions across a shared 
library boundary.

I am having the same problem as the original reporter.

A simple testcase:
a1.cpp:
extern void mycall();

int main()
{
        try {
                mycall();
        } catch (int i) {
                return i;
        }
        return 1;
}

a2.cpp:
void mycall()
{
        throw 0;
}

$ g++ -fPIC -DPIC -shared -o liba2.a a2.cpp
$ g++ -fPIC -DPIC -o a1 a1.cpp -L. -la2    

Sometimes it aborts, sometimes it succeeds.

I debugged through and in unwind-dw2-fde.c, the seen_objects element that 
represents liba2 contains FDE's for both liba2 and libstdc++.a.

As a consequence of this, when liba2.a is located in memory at a higher 
address than libstdc++.a, then the seen_objects list is not sorted correctly 
and the function _Unwind_Find_FDE will never search liba2 for fde's.

By disassembling liba2, I can see that it's local table does indeed import all 
the FDE's from libstdc++.

Could this be an installation problem?
Could this be a problem with collect2 picking up frames from imported 
libraries?

David,

I have not done a full bootstrap and I am still testing, so treat these as 
prelimary findings:

The patch appears not to fix the abort on try/catch.

However with the patch, I am not getting imports of __GLOBAL__F* from 
libstdc++ into my shared library. So maybe it is a fix to part of the problem?

I'm not sure if the original problem is that the libstdc++ library exports the 
__GLOBAL__F symbols or that the user library imports and uses them?

In the patch, should it be checking the variable shared_obj or is_shared?
I think that it would depend where you class the problem: shared_obj to fix 
libstdc++, is_shared to fix user library.

Thanks for your help.
I will update again when I feel I have properly tested the patch.

Regards,
Andrew.

I still have not managed a full bootstrap with your patch (ETA 12hours -- but 
that is a separate issue).

However I applied the following patch (in all it's glory) to collect2 and used 
this version with a previously complied gcc.
I did not relink libstdc++.a.

After relinking my libraries with this new collect, my exceptions are working 
perfectly.

Thanks,
Andrew

[Bug target/13391] AIX: collect2 emits bad code with duplicated symbols

[greed at pobox dot com]

Andrew; if you're having the problem I was having with bootstrap on AIX
(libstdc++ taking days to configure), the problem is IBM's shell gets into a
state where it dup()s and closes several hundred /tmp files each time it runs a
shell command.  (I love truss....)  Using bash instead fixes it, but you have to
twiddle configure in libstdc++-v3 to use it instead of /bin/sh in config.status.

I'll open a bug for that one tomorrow when I'm at work... not really a bug in
gcc, but if configure allowed you to use ${CONFIG_SHELL} it would be a trivial
workaround.  Now that I think about it it, it's an autoconf issue actually.

Subject: Re:  AIX: collect2 emits bad code with duplicated symbols 

	Any bug report about configure will be closed immediately.

	Please use 

make SHELL=.../bash CONFIG_SHELL=.../bash bootstrap

to bootstrap GCC on AIX.

The setting of SHELL and CONFIG_SHELL doesn't work when config.status gets run
with #!/bin/sh at the top.  But that's off topic for this bug.

Wow that certainly speeds the process.

Can that be listed at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#*-ibm-aix*

I have done a full bootstrap.
I can confirm that this patch (in comment 16) does NOT fix the exception 
problem.
My testcase still aborts.

	Please make sure that you run AIX command slibclean to clear out
the old version of the shared libraries before testing.

Subject: Re:  AIX: collect2 emits bad code with duplicated symbols 

	libstdc++.a archive only contains one file: the shared object.

	If one upgrades GCC and the library major version number changes,
one can place both shared objects in the archive, with the older shared
object marked F_LOADONLY so that it is not used for linking.  However,
both shared objects are marked F_SHROBJ.

	What other files are you seeing in the libstdc++.a archive?

I don't follow the Makefile.am / libtool jaz for libstdc++.

It may be related to --disable-symvers?

I had a build error without this option.
I will try again to see what this error was tomorrow.

> Building libstdc++.a requires a fix for an AIX Assembler bug APAR IY26685 
(AIX 4.3) or APAR IY25528 (AIX 5.1). 

Does this apply to AIX 5.2 also?

	The assembler patch should already be present in AIX 5.2.

It doesn't work if the environment is used for CONFIG_SHELL.  It works just fine
from the make command line.

	It should work if one sets the environment variable before running
top-level configure or defining it on the make invocation line, where it
is overriding Make variables, not Shell environment variables.

Using the patch in comment #16, my testcase passes as well.  Next step is to
build RogueWave SourcePro and see how that turns out.

This patch is not necessary to fix the exception problem.
However it is an optimization on exported symbols and fixes the duplicate 
_GLOBAL_* symbol linker warnings.

Yes, getting rid of the static members of libstdc++.a does the trick.  (Using
the contrived testcase in this bug.)

...which is a good thing all by itself.

I'm not sure if it's the ltconfig patch or the "reduce exports" patch, but there
seems to be a reduction--sometimes large--in the size of libraries generated
with the patched compiler compared to the stock 3.3.3 and 3.3.2 compilers.

Library bloat is also a concern for us (as it usually means there's duplicate
definitions around); so I'm going to run our production builds with both patches
in, and investigate more next week as to which patch cause the improvement.

(My "testcase" for this one is the RogueWave SourcePro suite.)

Subject: Re:  AIX: collect2 emits bad code with duplicated symbols 

	The decrease in size of libstdc++ (and all GCC libraries generated
with libtool) is due to the ltconfig change only placing the shared object
in the library.

	If other libraries are decreased, then I worry that the other
patch decreasing exports allowed the AIX linker garbage collector to be
too aggressive because it found less symbol roots.  Hopefully everything
still works correctly.

Yes, link and execute are both going well.

The non-GCC libraries have returned to the sizes we were getting from GCC 3.3.0.
 I never really investigated what happened between 3.3.0 and 3.3.2 to make the
libraries explode in size, as they seemed to run just fine--the libraries in
question weren't using exceptions.
