Subject: "random" segment faults in expect running GCC regression test on LoongArch
Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2022 15:43:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2e88c9803e5b57aa3f320c9722dcb700b6a47420.camel@xry111.site> (raw)

Hi,

This is a "help wanted" message.  When I run GCC regression test on
loongarch64-linux-gnu, expect occasionally crashes with a segment fault.
The stack backtrace is like:

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The crashes happen on both my own LoongArch board and
gcc401.fsffrance.org.  So I don't think it was an "only me" problem.

The segment fault is not deterministic.  A Expect command like

cd /path/to/gcc/build/gcc
expect -- /usr/share/dejagnu/runtest.exp --tool gfortran dg.exp=bind-c-contiguous-1.f90

sometimes succeeds, sometimes immediately segfaults, sometimes prints
several lines of strange error message and then exits abnormally.

Usually I don't like to send "help wanted" messages, but this time I
have no idea how to fix (or even triage) the problem.  I don't even know
which component (Tcl? Expect? GCC? Glibc? Kernel?) I should blame.  So
it seems I really need some help now...
