Description Jack Pappas 2013-02-11 14:00:00 UTC
I recently submitted a patch for lang/mono which was just a small configuration change to enable the new 'sgen' garbage collector. After using the new GC for a while, I noticed that mono sometimes crashed with an assertion -- which turned out to be a bug in 'sgen'. I figured out the bug and submitted fixes to the Mono team for inclusion in the next release (3.0.4).

This patch also includes a small configuration change (along with a new patch file, detailed below) which enables Mono's 'sigaltstack' support on FreeBSD.

This patch includes four (4) new files:
- 'files/patch-mono_metadata_sgen-gc.c' and 'files/patch-mono_metadata_threads.c' contain the fixes for the 'sgen' garbage collector.
- 'files/patch-mono_mini_mini-exceptions.c' contains a fix that allows the 'sigaltstack' option to work correctly on FreeBSD.
- 'files/patch-mcs_tools_gacutil_driver.cs' contains a fix for the Mono 'gacutil' tool. This fix is required for my submitted patch to upgrade lang/fsharp to the latest version -- without this fix, the port can't 'deinstall' properly.

Fix: Please see the included 'diff'.

Patch attached with submission follows:

mono@ wants it!
Comment 2 Romain Tartière freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2013-02-11 15:42:46 UTC
Hi

Can you please provide a link to the mono bug-report so that I can sort
out what is reported upstream and what is not ?

Thanks!

Another attempt to set the correct responsible.
Comment 4 Jack Pappas 2013-02-11 16:10:47 UTC
Sure -- here are the pull-requests I submitted:
https://github.com/mono/mono/pull/551
https://github.com/mono/mono/pull/553
https://github.com/mono/mono/pull/555
https://github.com/mono/mono/pull/557

Basically, everything included in the diff attached to this PR has also
been submitted upstream. There are some trivial differences, e.g., my
upstream patch modifies 'configure.in' while this PR modifies 'configure'.

New Revision: 314682
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/314682

Log:
  Various bugfixes
  
  While these fixes should have been applied upstream, and new tarballs are
  available, I am quite out of time ATM so after having successfully tested these
  changes, push them to FreeBSD and provide appropriate kudos to appropriate
  People.
  
  Updating to more recent lang/mono is in the pipeline, and should reach the
  ports tree soon.
