| Summary | 0003929: [BUG][FFI] strange behavior on unix vm/plugin: seventh call lead to unconsistent results | ||||||||||||
| Description |
The test case provided in attached files will return false from the seventh call on, when it should always return true. try DLANGE2Library testDLANGE2. Behaviour is very strange. It's like the image is getting corrupted. When executing step by step in Debugger, of course the bug does not show up... |
||||||||||||
| Additional Information |
place libdlange2.so in local directory, launch squeak, load DLANGE2Library.st, save the image. Then execute DLANGE2Library testDLANGE2 inspect. You should get an array with 10 true. But starting at 7, all elements are false. This bug did not show on a windows XP platform. |

You can compile the library with: gcc -c dlange2.c; ld -shared -o libdlange2.so dlange2.o SUBROUTINE DLANGE is a FORTRAN routine from LAPACK library to compute a matrix norm. I use it for SUnit TestCase checks on my Smallapack port to Squeak (Smalltalk interface to LAPACK). It as been translated by f2c, then changed to simply return 0.0. By now, Smallapack port to Squeak is blocked by this bug. |

You need to do some of your own debugging first. Start out with: - Telling us what OS, hardware (CPU), architecture you are running on - Check whether later versions of the VM also have this problem or if it's specific to your version - Check what the *actual* result of the call is (e.g., whether it compares equal to 0.0 is a completely useless bit of information here) - Change the return value from 0.0 to something else (say 42.0) since the bit pattern for 0.0 is equal to zero is equal to NULL etc. Put differently there is no guarantee that your call *ever* returns the correct result - Asking Ian whether there are any known problems with FFI support |

Thanks Andreas MY SYSTEM (A MANDRAKE 9 LINUX) - uname -a is: Linux wifi2 2.4.29 0000004 mer f� 23 01:09:47 CET 2005 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux MY SQUEAK VM (IT IS THE REGULAR STABLE RELEASE FROM squeak.org) - squeak -version is: 3.7-7 #1 Sat Mar 19 13:12:20 PST 2005 gcc 3.3.5 Squeak3.7 of '4 September 2004' [latest update: #5989] Linux squeak.hpl.hp.com 2.4.27-1-386 #1 Fri Sep 3 06:24:46 UTC 2004 i686 GNU/Linux default plugin location: /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7/*.so THE RESULT ANSWERED BY THE FFI CALL - if i write the test as: | val | val = self dlange...etc... val = 0.0 what i obtain is false, but val is perfectly equal to zero (evaluating val=0.0 or val isZero in the debugger will answer true). So yes, the correct value is returned, and that is what i call strange behavior I'am going to inquire newer VM and FFI plugin and ask Ian... |

Is there any news on this issue? Anything that can be done before 3.9 goes gold? |

It seems like the floating point register stack overflows... Though ffiFloatReturnValue is always 0.0, I further get a NaN at 7th call to primitiveFloatEqualtoArg, maybe because this one needs two fp registers for comparands and fp stack only has one slot left...

Changing line 51 of x86-sysv-asm.S solved this problem: fstpl ffiFloatReturnValue I do not know other implications. Please check. |

Eliot Miranda suggested that a fninit be placed in FFI preamble (of course, before starting to stack arguments), and maybe in other relevant places in the VM. See http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2009-January/133575.html [^] |
