RCP: 0.7.5, Ubuntu 14.04, TXM crashes with Description command

Reported by AL: When calling Description command on the BFM2014 corpus any corpus, TXM sporadically freezes and crashes a few minutes later (see Linux process crash report below).

Diagnostic 1 - calling Description:

• Question: Can we reproduce the bug?
• Test: call Description command on the BFM2014 corpus with TXM 0.7.6 + Ubuntu 14.04
• Conclusion: Impossible to reproduce the bug (MD).
  • See if third-party libraries are the same MD’s Ubuntu mdecorde@matthieuPC:~/.txm/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/119/1/.cp$ ls libswt-atk-gtk-4332.so libswt-gtk-4332.so libswt-webkit-gtk-4332.so libswt-cairo-gtk-4332.so libswt-pi-gtk-4332.so

alexey@alavrentevPC:~/.txm/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/119/1/.cp$ ls

libswt-atk-gtk-4332.so  libswt-cairo-gtk-4332.so  libswt-pi-gtk-4332.so
libswt-awt-gtk-4332.so  libswt-gtk-4332.so        libswt-webkit-gtk-4332.so

—>AL has libswt-awt-gtk-4332.so in addition to MD’s configuration

• Conclusion 2: BP could reproduce the bug

Diagnostic 2 - is the bug present in TXM 0.7.5:

• Question: Has TXM 0.7.6 introduced this bug?
• Test: Reinstall TXM 0.7.5 and call Description
• Conclusion: The bug persists with TXM 0.7.5 réinstalled

Diagnostic 3 - test with another corpus:

• Question: Is Description also bugged for DISCOURS corpus?
• Test: call Description command on the DISCOURS corpus with TXM 0.7.6 + Ubuntu 14.04
• Conclusion: no link with used corpus, since opening a web page crashes TXM

Diagnostic 4 - test with a more recent Eclipse RCP environment:

• Question: Is the bug fixed since Eclipse 4.4?
• Test: run a standalone TXM build with Eclipse 4.4
• Conclusion:
  • MD : ok for me
  • MD : tested and ok for BP Ubuntu

Linux Crash report

Linux error report message:

The crashed program seems to use third-party libraries:

/home/alexey/.txm/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/119/1/.cp/libswt-cairo-gtk-4332.so
/home/alexey/.txm/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/119/1/.cp/libswt-gtk-4332.so
/home/alexey/.txm/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/119/1/.cp/libswt-webkit-gtk-4332.so
/home/alexey/.txm/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/119/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-4332.so
/home/alexey/.txm/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/119/1/.cp/libswt-atk-gtk-4332.so

It is highly recommended to check if the problem persists without those first.

Do you want to continue the report process anyway?

Detailed log: see the attached file

Solution

Use Eclipse 4.4 instead of Eclipse 4.3

Validation test

• call description with the BFM2014 corpus
• TXM must not crash

MD : OK Ubuntu 14.04, must be tested by BP or AL

• Uploads:
  • hs_err_pid3849.log

added Commands type::bug + 1 deleted label

changed milestone to %TXM 0.7.7

It looks like this problem occurs less frequently when a tab with edition is open.
Not confirmed.
