Problem with GPS under MacOS

Problem with GPS under MacOS

[Laurent]

Hi

I have the problem that when I work with GPS and Gnoga is with'ed that GPS 2017 is crashing. In the log I have this:

--------------------------
I thought to have solved this problem.

It happens when I want to type something.

GPS 2016 seems to have the same problem but I get a beachball of death and so no crashlog.

Googling for a solution didn't really help. 32bit apps are limited by the kernel to 64MB of stack memory which are actually closer to 58MB. 

A solution would be to recompile the kernel. Hm well not really helpful.

The other solution would be to recompile the GPS with a greater stack. Hm not really helpful either.

Or using Linux. Possible but only if there is no other solution.

Are there other things I could try?

Thanks

Laurent

It looks like the problem is a "wild" pointer.  At a guess, it looks like during finalization a 32-bit value was treated as a 64-bit address. Oops!  I'd put a print command in the place where the failure is occurring. I assume you have a minimal program that causes the crash, since it seems to be occurring after the main program completes.

It is actually GPS itself crashing. Don't need to touch compile, build or something else. Just trying to type a word in the editor. So putting a print command won't help as nothing of my program is compiled or executed. Or you have a crystal ball?

The only pointer GPS could have a problem with are those in the handles provided by simple components in the gnoga library.  As I am apparently the only one having this problem I suppose that GPS has I problem with what I try to do. 

GPS is a better text editor so I don't get what the problem could be. 

The difference in behaviour between GPS 2016 (BOD) and 2017(CDT) is also confusing. I suppose that some of Apple's system protection measures are to blame too. GPS 2016 is tolerated and hangs forever. I have a quad core, so 3 cores to go. 2017 is suspicious and gets killed.

Not really motivated to play a match of ping pong between Apple and Adacore with myself as ball.

Will send the crashlog to Adacore but I don't expect something useful.

More out of despair than actually hoping that it would change something, I tried to open my project on my old Mini Mac. Has 2GB RAM and the latest Mac OS which can be installed is 10.7.5. The latest gnat which works is 2013. 

Ok GPS uses X11 and is ugly as hell but no crash, no BOD. Made the changes I wanted to try. Plugged the USB stick back to my main desktop and no more crash!?

WTF? No idea what, why and where the problem is.

I tried to deactivate the autocomplete in GPS. No change. Don't know how the feature is called when you type the name of an "object.", package or type and GPS shows the different possibilities available.

Thought that it could be that one somehow chasing its own tail.

Thanks

Just possibly it's something corrupt in your ~/.gps/? Maybe one of the
log files in there would help. Sometimes people recommend wiping the
directory and starting over.

[Simon Wright]

I should add, I tried building/editing tutorial_01 just now, no
problem. GNAT GPL 2017, macOS 10.12.6.

When I contacted Adacore the first time they recommended that too but it didn't last very long.

Corrupt GPS folder on 2 different macs. Strange coincidence.

The actual version of my project is stable (fingers crossed). Had a backup of a previous one, loaded into GPS and CDT. Ok trying to make a minimal test from it. Hm no crash. Back to the backup, which now doesn't crash either? I have only tried on my main desktop. Should probably try on my macbook with macos 10.12. Tomorrow

Bah I think I have gremlins...

This time the crashlog is slightly different:

quite practical that those log files have a timestamp but no date.

Found in some of them at the end this. I hope that it will be readable, otherwise I have to upload the files somewhere.

There are quite a few exception tracebacks in those (surprisingly many,
really). You can decode them, to an extent (gps_exe is supplied without
full debug information, so not very helpful at first glance: for
example, for the first 2017 one,

On thinking about it, though, the one that crashed the program probably
wouldn't have made it into the log file. To find the problem one would
need to rebuild GPS with debug on. Personally I find there are just too
many dependencies, and I don't use GPS enough to go to the trouble.

At least it proves that there is a problem.

A few years ago I tried to build it from source following a guide from someone in this group. I got half through before I stumbled on a problem I couldn't solve. The guide is still available but  I doubt that it would work this time.

I am used to GPS and until now I didn't have any crippling problem. Don't think that I would switch to emacs or Eclipse.

For the moment GPS behaves and I don't see a reason for opening a second building site.

I will send the logs to Adacore to see what they say. Would actually be their job to figure out why their program doesn't work.

Quite amazed how much Python is used in GPS. Apart laziness, is there an other reason? 

Thanks

I am curious why GPS version 6.0.1 recorded in the log file while GPS 2017 was used. Is it possible that your GPS 2016 still visible some how. By the way, I have almost zero knowledge of Mac OS.

With gnat 2017 installed, from the about menu of GPS:

GPS 2017 (20170515) hosted on x86_64-apple-darwin14.5.0
GNAT GPL 2017 (20170515-63)

the GNAT Programming Studio

(c) 2001-2017 AdaCore

GPS 2016 is hanging and doesn't produce a system crash log at all. Perhaps it has been forgotten to change the version in the 2017 one?
