I see the thread search plugin cause crash when initilized, here is the line it crashed:


void DirectoryParamsPanel::OnSearchDirTextEvent(wxCommandEvent &event)
{
    //m_pFindData->SetSearchPath(event.GetString());
    event.GetString();  // ****************Crash on this function call*************
    event.Skip();
}


Here is the call stack:

It sounds like the passed wxCommandEvent object has some problems, it just crashed when the event.GetString() function is called.

You can see it is in the initialization stage, because it crashed in the ThreadSearchView::ThreadSearchView() function call.

The bad thing is I can not see the event under gdb

I'm using Win7 64bit, mingw-build gcc 5.4 32bit compiler, wx3.1.

Thanks.

Are you sure everything is built with the same compiler? And you're using the correct wx libraries and headers?

Yes, I have used the same compiler to rebuild the wx library and c::b yesterday, and I see the same issue as before.

ollydbg

Oh, is it caused by the different building options when I build C::B and wx?

I have used such command to build wx:

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1 USE_OPENGL=1 VENDOR=cb CXXFLAGS="-Wno-unused-local-typedefs -Wno-deprecated-declarations -fno-keep-inline-dllexport" >log-release.txt 2>&1


While I see when building Codeblocks_w31.cbp, I see it use "-std=gnu++11", while when I build threadsearch plugin, I see it also use "-std=gnu++11".

Do I need to add the "-std=gnu++11" to build the wx library?

i can not reproduce this with
wxWidgets git hash: c51dd81db6da3aa2fc853b452ca2500776b473ed debug build
Codeblocks trunk
gcc 5.1
win7

i can reproduce a crash with release builds, but i can not debug where it comes from because no stack trace. Only
In wxCommandEvent::GetString() const () (wxWidgets-3.1.0\lib\gcc_dll\wxmsw310u_gcc_custom.dll)
and a lot ???


QuoteDo I need to add the "-std=gnu++11" to build the wx library?
i have also not enabled c++11 for wx builds

ollydbg

Hi, BlueHazzard, thanks for the tests, so this happens only in release version of wx(either in wx3.1 or wx git head), I will ask the question to wx maillist.

EDIT: posted here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/wx-users/LUxm6fUhirk/FJRFNIt6AAAJ

I just build a debug version of wx3.1 with the following command: (note I have -std=gnu++11)

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=debug UNICODE=1 USE_OPENGL=1 VENDOR=cb CXXFLAGS="-Wno-unused-local-typedefs -Wno-deprecated-declarations -fno-keep-inline-dllexport -std=gnu++11" >log-debug-cxx11.txt 2>&1


And then I just rebuild the C::B against this wx3.1, and I don't see the crash. While, if I add the -std=gnu++11 option to build a release version of wx3.1, the crash still happens.

Guess: Do I need to add the option "-fno-keep-inline-dllexport" to build the C::B or the plugins?  That's was too complex if both the wx library and C::B need the exact same build option. :(

EDIT: please note that my wx3.1 source was already applied a patch to avoid a crash (in wxWidgets-3.1.0\include\wx\rtti.h, see #17483 (wxDynamicCast segfault with mingw64 5.3.0 release build) – wxWidgets):

    bool IsKindOf(const wxClassInfo *info) const
    {
        if ( info == this )
            return true;

        if ( m_baseInfo1 )
        {
            if ( m_baseInfo1->IsKindOf(info) )
                return true;
        }

        if ( m_baseInfo2 )
        {
            if ( m_baseInfo2->IsKindOf(info) )
                return true;
        }

        return false;
    }

Oh my god, it looks like I meet a similar gcc bug, I just find the cause of this bug, see here:

in wxWidgets's ticket #17483 and https://groups.google.com/d/msg/wx-users/LUxm6fUhirk/GOX_obajAAAJ in wx-user maillist.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).

So if you apply this optimization patch the crash goes away? So this should be reported to gcc?

The second one I would vote no, because I think the GCC crew would rightly say it is a wxWidgets bug.

The first one, I have no idea what the cause is; but, I would guess the right solution is to disable optimization.
Note: That might also fix the second bug. IIRC, someone found the right optimization to disable already.
Might that optimization only be needed on the second bug on wxWidgets's code.
Since, it is not in a header file.

I would try "-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks" in building wxWidgets and see if the second problem goes away.

If an valid optimisation breaks users code then the code is broken and must be fixed.
Disabling specific optimisations is only a short term workaround!

Re-writing wxWidgets to use C++ correctly is a very big job; it will likely take a while! As in years.
Adding the option to see if it works is much faster.

Do you wish to port CB to no longer use the wxWidgets backend?
Or, switch to using wxWidgets for STL build? (No idea if this will fix the issue; but, it has a slight chance)
Edit1: I forgot this bug is wxWidgets RTTI not wxWidgets STL class bug.
Or, try disabling what ever compiler/linker option is causing this bug?
The only other option is finding another solution or ignoring the bug.

yes and yes, I have already report to gcc bugzilla. see the links of my previous post.

To me, that looks like undefined behaviour:


void ThreadSearch::SetManagerType(ThreadSearchViewManagerBase::eManagerTypes mgrType)
{
    // Is type different from current one ?
    if ( mgrType != m_pViewManager->GetManagerType() )
    {
        // Get show state and destroy current view manager.
        bool show(true);
        if ( m_pViewManager != NULL )          // <---------------- UB
        {
            show = m_pViewManager->IsViewShown();
            m_pViewManager->RemoveViewFromManager();
            delete m_pViewManager;
        }

        // Create and show new view manager.
        m_pViewManager = ThreadSearchViewManagerBase::BuildThreadSearchViewManagerBase(m_pThreadSearchView, true, mgrType);
        m_pViewManager->ShowView(show);
    }
}


A null-pointer check AFTER having dereferenced m_pViewManager.
If memory serves me, this in combination with "-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks"
led to bugs like heartbleed.
