Hi list,
I've been using log4cxx for one project (pre-apache version 0.9.7,
from official Debian packages). Recently I had to run this project on a
ia64 server (instead of a regular x86).
On ia64, this version of log4cxx simply segfaulted before even
outputting anything.
I knew this version was rather old, so I tried the svn.
I downloaded revision 596412 and compiled it without problems.
This time there was no segmentation fault, but the program was killed
by a "MutexException".
I tested it with a simple "helloworld" program:
--- 8< ---
#include "log4cxx/logger.h"
#include "log4cxx/basicconfigurator.h"
int main() {
log4cxx::LoggerPtr logger(log4cxx::Logger::getLogger("x"));
log4cxx::BasicConfigurator::configure();
LOG4CXX_INFO(logger, "hello world");
}
--- 8< ---
The exact result was:
--- 8< ---
0 [0x20000000016d4420] INFO x null - hello world
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'log4cxx::helpers::MutexException' what(): Mutex exception: stat = 22
Aborted
--- 8< ---
I thought it might have been a problem with this revision and not ia64
arch, so I tried the same revision on a regular PC. The same
"helloworld" program _didn't_ crash on ia32.
My questions are:
- is ia64 architecture supported?
- should I try other svn revisions? which ones?
- how could I help to track this bug down? I'll be happy to run it
through gdb etc. if it could help
Some details about the system it crashes on:
- Itanium2 processor (x86_64)
- Debian Etch (ia64 version)
- gcc 4.2.3 (also tries with gcc 4.1.2, same results)
- Linux kernel 2.6.18
Thanks in advance,
Noix
