Hi Mariano, if you know the method that may cause this crash can you check if it works if you recompile this method with the old compiler, maybe this issue is responsible - wrong stack frame size : 13854 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/13854/frameSize-calculated-wrongly-for-lin...> frameSize calculated wrongly for #lineSegmentsDo:
Hi Nicolai,
Thanks for the pointer. I tried with your fix and I still get the same results (even after recompiling). However...if I swap back to old Compiler rather than OpalCompiler and I recompile everything, then I do not have anymore the crash. So it's definitively something related to Opal compilation, and probably, related to closures compilation. I will see if I find other opal issues opened in 4.0.
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I am debugging a Pharo VM crash I am having and I cannot figure out what it is exactly. I suspect it might be related to block closures compilation but I am not sure. I have a reproducible crash test under Pharo 4.0 and OSX.
I built a VM in debug mode and I run it via gdb. This is the kind of info I am able to see:
*Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.* *0x000ab66b in updatePointersInRangeFromto (memStart=924623948, memEnd=928201420) at /Users/mariano/Pharo/git/pharo-vm/src/vm/gcc3x-cointerp.c:40444* *40444 && (((longAt(fieldOop)) & MarkBit) != 0)) {* *(gdb) call printAllStacks()* *Process 0x30e228c4 priority 40* *0xbffb2e10 M FaAction class>block: 0x20ebb104: a(n) FaAction class* *0xbffb2e30 M BlockClosure(FaMemoryStoreSession)>register: 0x371d0968: a(n) BlockClosure* *0xbffb2e4c M INVALID RECEIVER>register: 0x371cfd54: a(n) bad class*
*(callerContextOrNil == (nilObject())) || (isContext(callerContextOrNil)) 48626* *0x3721e1f0 is not a context* *0x371c34b4 is not a context*
And another crash:
*Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.* *0x000ab66b in updatePointersInRangeFromto (memStart=924677864, memEnd=928262300) at /Users/mariano/Pharo/git/pharo-vm/src/vm/gcc3x-cointerp.c:40444* *40444 && (((longAt(fieldOop)) & MarkBit) != 0)) {* *(gdb) call printAllStacks()* *Process 0x30e228c4 priority 40* *0xbffb2de0 M INVALID RECEIVER>initialize 0x3722b9a0: a(n) bad class* *0xbffb2df8 M FaAction class(Behavior)>new 0x20ebb104: a(n) FaAction class* *0xbffb2e10 M FaAction class>block: 0x20ebb104: a(n) FaAction class* *0xbffb2e30 M INVALID RECEIVER>register: 0x371ddee0: a(n) bad class* *0xbffb2e4c M INVALID RECEIVER>register: 0x371dd328 is in old space*

From what I can see in *#printActivationNameFor: aMethod receiver: anObject isBlock: isBlock firstTemporary: maybeMessage* It looks like if the memory address is not an OOP, nor forwarding pointer nor...
It also seems like the above stack I can get is not the real cause but a side effect that makes GC to crash (#updatePointersInRangeFromto)
As said, I have a way to reproduce the crash, and I already have the VM compiled in debug and gdb running. I can also attach the full output of the gdb stack.
BTW.... in the output of the gdb I see lots of printings like:
*(numStack + ReceiverIndex) < (lengthOf(theContext)) 45421* *(ReceiverIndex + contextSize) < (lengthOfbaseHeaderformat(oop, header2, fmt)) 40416*
Any pointer is appreciated.
Thanks!
