Summary 0005688: VM crash due to SmartSyntaxPluginCodeGenerator>>generateCPtrAsOop:indent:
Description On a 64-bit host (e.g. 64 bit Linux), the VM will crash when attempting to connect to SqueakMap. This is caused by SmartSyntaxPluginCodeGenerator>>generateCPtrAsOop:indent: (in VMMaker 3.8b6), which fails to account for sqMemoryBase when deducing an oop from a pointer. Fix attached.

 Additional notes: sqMemoryBase is defined only when building the 64 bit host/32 bit image combination. The patch I provided makes an explicit reference to sqMemoryBase, and this works fine on Linux (both 32 bit and 64 bit host) even if the SocketPlugin is built as an external plugin. However, I am not confident that it will work properly on other platforms, and I tested only on Linux.

Presumably it would be better to make sqMemoryBase visible through the interpreterProxy struct, rather than relying on an explicit reference (but this requires bumping the VM_PROXY_MINOR version), or alternatively make it a variable in ObjectMemory. But perhaps it would be better to just get rid of #cPtrAsOop entirely, and update all the effected plugins?

 Dave's code is:-
generateCPtrAsOop: aNode on: aStream indent: anInteger
    "sqMemoryBase is declared as (char *) in platforms/Cross/vm/sqMemoryAccess.h"

    aStream nextPutAll: '((usqInt)(long)((char *)'.
    self emitCExpression: aNode receiver on: aStream.
    aStream nextPutAll: ' - sqMemoryBase ) - ';
         nextPutAll: ObjectMemory baseHeaderSize printString;
         nextPut: $)

Which as mentioned explicitly refers to sqMemoryBase. I'm going to suggest indirecting that just a little to use the pre-existing oopForPointer()

generateCPtrAsOop: aNode on: aStream indent: anInteger
    "derive the proper Oop for a C ptr - use oopForPointer to deal with any base offset"

    aStream nextPutAll: '((usqInt)(long)((char *)'.
       aStream nextPutAll: 'oopForPointer( '.
    self emitCExpression: aNode receiver on: aStream.
    aStream nextPutAll: ' ) - ';
         nextPutAll: ObjectMemory baseHeaderSize printString;
         nextPut: $)

 Using oopForPointer() sounds right to me.

 I don't suppose you'd like to hack your code base to try it out while I get on with the miserably delayed putting-together-stuff-wot-others-wrote part?

 I'll check it out on 32 and 64 bit host configurations, but I will be out of town and may not get to it until next week (will respond by Sept 26 at the latest though).

 The oopForPointer() change works fine on H32/I32 and H64/I32, modulo a missing close paren, but I did not test H32/I64 or H64/I64. However this leaves a bunch of slimey typecasts in the method that probably are not necessary. Will try to fix this next week when I get home, mean time I suggest just apply my first change set if you want to update VMM right away, or wait until next week and I'll check it properly.

 Update attached: Fix64BitSmartSyntaxPluginCodeGenerator-0005688-tpr-dtl.cs

This has the oopForPointer() fix plus deuglifier ointment to remove extraneous type casts.

Tested on H32/I32, H32/I64, H64/I32, H64/I64. Confirmed that the VM crash problem is gone for H64/I32.

Ship it.
