My system: DMD: DMD64 D Compiler v2.080.1-dirty Manjaro Linux Kernel 4.14.48-2 Processor: core i7 I don't think it's my system since run.dlang.io gives this output: 2.061 to 2.078.1: Success and no output Since 2.079.0: Failure with output: Error: program killed by signal 4 So it looks like 2.079 that this issue cropped up. Thanks!
Actually, all it takes is: import std.container; void main(string[] arguments) { Array!string str; str.insert("hello"); } Up to 2.078.1: Success and no output Since 2.079.0: Failure with output: Error: program killed by signal 4 Either I'm missing something or this is a really bad bug. I would think if it was a bug how could it have gone unnoticed?
After even more testing it looks like only Array's with strings are causing this issue: struct Test { string value; } void main(string[] arguments) { //Cause SIGILL Array!string str; str.insert("hello"); //Works Array!bool boolValues; boolValues.insert(true); //Works Array!int intValues; intValues.insert(10); //Causes SIGILL if struct contains a string. Works otherwise. Test value; Array!Test test; test.insert(value); } All string types(wstring, dstring, string) will fail.
This is caused by an operation on a string literal data, which are known to be read-only. For example: --- void main(string[] arguments) { Array!string str; str.insert("hello".idup); } --- works finely because string data are now on the heap, not in the segment where the literal resides.
Spotted the bug. The problem is actually that the garbage collector is not initialized. 2079 introduced lazy initialization. --- void main(string[] arguments) { auto a = "init gc".dup; // force GC init... Array!string str; str.insert("hello"); } --- no more SIGILL.
Problem is confirmed: Adding `gc_init()` in the Array `shared static this()` makes the problem going away. However for now `gc_init()` is private. One way to fix the issue is make `gc_init` public in druntime and add an explicit init call in `Array`. The other would be to make a dummy alloc if `Array` element has indirections.
Thanks a lot for looking into this. Your fix does work for me as well. Thanks again it's much appreciated!
The issue is that Array!string (or Array!T where T has indirections) is going to add its array as a range to the GC whenever it allocates one. What it does AFTER though is remove it's previous array as a range. When the Array has not been initialized yet, this is effectively calling GC.removeRange(null). The ProtoGC was asserting on that, generating the illegal instruction. However, the normal GC handled it just fine, which is why initializing the GC solved the problem. The ProtoGC should act exactly like the normal GC until the normal GC takes over, so this was a bug in the ProtoGC. PR: https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/2220
Thanks Steven for finding the bug and fixing it! It is appreciated!
