* [Bug libc/6684] New: Segmentation fault after getcontext() and setcontext() on ppc64 @ 2008-06-20 22:55 khoroshilov at linuxtesting dot org 2008-08-14 3:38 ` [Bug libc/6684] " drepper at redhat dot com ` (3 more replies) 0 siblings, 4 replies; 6+ messages in thread From: khoroshilov at linuxtesting dot org @ 2008-06-20 22:55 UTC (permalink / raw) To: glibc-bugs #include <ucontext.h> #include <stdarg.h> #include <stdio.h> typedef struct ReturnValue { int a; } ReturnValue; ReturnValue defaultReturnValue = { 0 }; ucontext_t globalUcp; int outputMessage( char * format, ... ) { int res; va_list arg_list; va_start( arg_list, format ); res = vprintf( format, arg_list ); va_end( arg_list ); return res; } ReturnValue getcontextCall( void ) { outputMessage( "getcontextCall : 1\n" ); getcontext( & globalUcp ); outputMessage( "getcontextCall : 2\n" ); return defaultReturnValue; } ReturnValue setcontextCall( void ) { outputMessage( "setcontextCall : 1\n" ); setcontext( & globalUcp ); outputMessage( "setcontextCall : 2\n" ); return defaultReturnValue; } int main( int argc,const char ** argv ) { getcontextCall(); setcontextCall(); return 0; } The example above leads to segmentation fault in the outputMessage() function after call of the setcontext() on ppc64 platform. The output of the process is as follows: getcontextCall : 1 getcontextCall : 2 setcontextCall : 1 Segmentation fault If someone replace "typedef struct ReturnValue { int a; } ReturnValue;" by "typedef int ReturnValue;" in the example segmentation fault disappears.

I thought I have not to khow how any functions work BEFORE reading their POSIX definitions (man pages). I do not see how to understand this usage limitation from the existing text if the reader does not know implementation details. POSIX follows a very good rule to explicitly specify any usage limitation and here is an obvious violation of the rule. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6684 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
