Fantastic.  Thanks a lot, Luke!

  I can close the thread just to say the finalit wasn't
Matrix after all!

 The problem was a call to install() in the C srouce code without
 protecting another value before the install call. This particular
 issue was very unlikely to cause a problem outside of a gctorture
 context, but in that context with the memory checking enabled by the
 strict barrier it will get caught.

 Quick notes in case someone else needs to track this sort of thing
 down: When gctorture is used in conjuction with the memory checks
 enabled by the strict barrier it is very likely that an error will be
 detected and signaled very close to where the problem in the C code
 actually is, which is why I tried an example using only regexpr when
 the error was being signaled there. Once a reproducable example is
 found, setting a breakpoint in memory.c:CHK on the line that signals
 the error gives a stack trace of the C calls involved, and in this
 case the culprit was pretty easy to find at that point.

Re: [Rd] core Matrix package segfaulted on R CMD check --use-gct

2011-04-11 Thread luke-tierney

Given the configure settings this looks like its probably an issue in
regexpr's internals rather than in Matrix per se. I can confirm that
with


gctorture()
for (i in 1:100) regexpr(package:, package:lattice, fixed = TRUE)

Error in regexpr(package:, package:lattice, fixed = TRUE) :
  unprotected object (0x26b30a8) encountered (was INTSXP)

run in r55347 with --enable-strict-barrier.  I'll see if I can spot anyting.

I am glad it is all working out - I have spent way too much time on this,

And despite claims to the contrary earlier in this thread, we 
certainly did.  (One example was in regexpr, although not AFAICS in a 
code branch used in this issue.)  Once 2.x.0 branches, the trunk 
becomes a playpen for ideas considered too radical/experimental for a 
release a month or two off.

Note that the first define does nothing and the second just repeats 
what --enable-memory-profiling does.  Neither are documented in 
current R AFAICS.



Aha... Does it happen without --enable-byte-compiled-packages? To quote NEWS:

But --enable-byte-compiled-packages does nothing, as configure --help 
says in 2.13.0 RC (and AFAICS it is documented nowhere else).


You really can't asumme that things not described in the R-admin 
manual are actually relevant to R (or current R).  autoconf puts 
things in configure that are boilerplate code we do not use (and I've 
tried to indicate which ones come from libtool or libintl).

 insist.
 

Please do. It's the branch that is supposed to stabilize during prerelease 
times.

Also, please check the prerelease tarballs, errors in make dist are not 
caught when building from svn.

Either way, since this problem causes dependent packages to crash on load, I 
have made some local changes to load Matrix only on demand and not on library 
initialization, since only one routine needs it. I thought I'd add a warning as 
well, but if R crashes, the warning may not come out in time so there is little 
incentive of emitting a warning which may not be seen.

Well, R-2.13.0 is in Release Candidate ('RC') stage, after having
passed the alpha and beta stages.

So, almost surely, the current CRAN version of Matrix, also part
of all recent R-2.13.0 tarballs will be shipped along.

If we can reproduce your problem, we will fix it, hopefully
pretty soon, and release a version of Matrix,  0.9996875-0
close to the release time of R-2.13.0;
but for stability reasons (of R-2.13.0 and all its testing on
all platforms), it would not ship with 2.13.0 and only people
who explicitly update.packages(...) [after R-2.13.0
installation] will get it.

HL The two errors look similiar but different (the previous

well, in my experience such problems typically don't show
exactly at the same place, and so the exact instance at which
an unprotected object is GC'ed also changes, and
hence I guesed it could be a REALSXP once and an INTSXP next
time.

That was really something else, also an important clean up step,
but entirely unrelated to protection and garbage collection...
and ... that version will definitely not make it into R-2.13.0
since it has too many changes compared with the one R-2.13.0

 just not checked for in other circumstances).

 If the Matrix package segfaults, David's new ld() isn't useable.

interesting.

In the mean time, I *did* run --- for several hours! ---
your code example below,
and it did *not* segfault for me (64-bit, Linux Fedora 13).
