[cfe-dev] Clang produces corrupt pch leading to crash

[Tobias Hahn]

Thanks for the quick feedback :)

I've reproduced this on the latest master as well as several versions that ship with Xcode (and I've also reported it to Apple). The isystem include is only necessary in versions built from source, otherwise clang doesn't seem to find libc++. The versions shipping with Xcode don't need this, they seem to find it using a compiled in path.

The <list> include seems necessary; it doesn't crash for me when I remove it. I'll see if I can find a Linux-box where I can reproduce it.

Thanks for looking into it.

It might make sense to file this with apple if you're using clang shipped with XCode as they ship their own releases. What version of clang are you using? Is the isystem flag important? What about #include <list>? I've tried to reproduce this but it's not so straightforward because I'm on linux and some of the stuff in that bash script assumes mac os... I was wondering if it's possible to reduce this to something that's reproducible everywhere or if this is a mac specific issue.

Thanks for the detailed report! The only thing you can do more is try and debug this yourself ;)

Hi all,

I've run into (what I believe is) a memory bug with clang while producing a precompiled header. In short, under certain circumstances, clang will write a pch that causes a crash when trying to use this pch in a later compilation unit.

Occasionally, while clang is compiling the pch, malloc complains that one of its checksums has been overwritten; while at other times, clang throws an error that a definition has a different exception specification than the declaration two lines above it (when both have no exception specification). Both these symptoms lead me to believe that somewhere clang overwrites memory.

I have stripped the code that reliably causes this crash down to a few hundred lines and have created a little script to reproduce the bug (details at http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20026). I'm not sure, however, about your process for handling such bugs, which is why I'm cross-posting here. My main question is if there is anything else I could provide you with to help fixing this issue.

Thank you very much in advance!

Best,
Tobias
