kicad exits with a segfault+coredump if either the Eeschema or Schematic library editor apps has been launched from the kicad Project manager. It doesn't matter if those apps are closed before exiting kicad, nor whether any editing/activity has taken place before closing. Launching the Schematic library editor then closing it without selecting an active library is sufficient to induce the segfault. The segfault does not occur when (only) any of Pcbnew, PCB footprint editor, GerbView and Pcb calculator is/are launched from within kicad. ~ % pkg info -o kicad-devel kicad-devel-r6904 cad/kicad-devel ~ % /usr/local/bin/kicad Segmentation fault (core dumped) ~ % echo $? 139
Launching eeschema standalone shows that it is eeschema generating the segfault. In standalone mode I only see the segfault if some activity is done in the editor (including simply opening a schematic) before closing. Launching into a blank sheet then exiting without saving does not result in the segfault: Without any editing: ~ % /usr/local/bin/eeschema ~ % echo With editing - exit without save: ; /usr/local/bin/eeschema With editing - exit without save: Segmentation fault (core dumped) ~ % echo $? 139 Various experimentation showed that almost any interaction other than editing the schematic does not result in the segfault on exit. This included setting the "Issue Date" in "Page Settings" (no segfault on exit without save). Launching the Library Browser, however, did trigger the segfault on exiting eeschema (without any editing in eeschema or any browsing in the browser). The Gdk errors are issued as soon as the browser is launched: ~ % /usr/local/bin/eeschema (eeschema:2113): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_window_process_updates: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed (eeschema:2113): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_window_process_updates: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed Segmentation fault (core dumped) A ktrace of a session where eeschema is launched then immediately exited ends with: 2202 eeschema CALL madvise(0x81a9e0000,0x1000,MADV_FREE) 2202 eeschema RET madvise 0 2202 eeschema CALL getpid 2202 eeschema RET getpid 2202/0x89a 2202 eeschema CALL exit(0) 2202 eeschema RET _umtx_op -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call 2202 eeschema GIO fd 13 wrote 64 bytes 0x0000 0f00 0000 0000 0000 ffff 1500 0100 0000 0100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1000 0000 0000 0000 fcff 1500 2f00 0000 0000 0000 0000 |............................................/.........| 0x0036 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 |..........| 2202 eeschema RET kevent -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call 2202 eeschema RET poll -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call 2202 eeschema RET poll -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call A ktrace of a session where an edit is made before "exit without save" ends with: 2156 eeschema CALL madvise(0x81a9de000,0x3000,MADV_FREE) 2156 eeschema RET madvise 0 2156 eeschema RET _umtx_op -1 errno 60 Operation timed out 2156 eeschema CALL _umtx_op(0x800879080,UMTX_OP_WAIT_UINT_PRIVATE,0,0x18,0x7fffdf5f8e38) 2156 eeschema PSIG SIGSEGV SIG_DFL code=SEGV_ACCERR 2156 eeschema RET poll -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call 2156 eeschema GIO fd 13 wrote 96 bytes 0x0000 0f00 0000 0000 0000 ffff 1500 0100 0000 0100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1000 0000 0000 0000 fcff 1500 2f00 0000 0000 0000 0000 |............................................/.........| 0x0036 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1200 0000 0000 0000 fcff 1500 2f00 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 |....................../...................| 2156 eeschema RET _umtx_op -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call 2156 eeschema RET poll -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call 2156 eeschema RET kevent -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call 2156 eeschema NAMI "eeschema.core"
A commit references this bug: Author: mr Date: Tue Sep 13 11:26:27 UTC 2016 New revision: 421993 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/421993 Log: kicad switched to GIT (still hosted on launchpad) for development. Try to cope with it since bzr doesn't work any longer: - For distfile building, checkout first, than get last commit date... - Use the timestamp of the last commit as revision number. - Update to r20160910202359 (commit 7ad2f37391e3e0debb7b96cd7164961d118f44c1) - Some functions now seem to need/emit SSE instructions which seems not to be enabled on i386 by default so add -msse switch PR: 212026, 212130 Changes: head/cad/kicad-devel/Makefile head/cad/kicad-devel/Makefile.bzr_rev head/cad/kicad-devel/Makefile.git_rev head/cad/kicad-devel/distinfo head/cad/kicad-devel/pkg-plist
Hi, could you please re-test after the update? Thanks! --- mike
(In reply to Michael Reifenberger from comment #3) Hi Michael, Thanks for the update. Unfortunately eeschema still segfaults for me on exit if an edit is performed.
Is this still relevant?
Apologies for not responding to this sooner. It still segfaults for me. FreeBSD 10.4-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64 kicad-devel-r20171031091403_4 cad/kicad-devel
Thanks for reply.
Hi, I have no dumps on FreeBSD 11-stable. Unfortunately kicad-devel doesn't compile on 10.x currently and I can't put much efforts into it. Any chance you could upgrade. Thanks in advance. Greetings --- Michael Reifenberger
Is this still releveant?
(In reply to w.schwarzenfeld from comment #9) Just tried with: kicad-devel-r20180821185413_4 and: 10.4-RELEASE-p12 Tested the described scenarios and apps exited normally.
