	Emacs 24.3 release won't compile on Windows with the msvc toolchain
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2013 06:47:56 +0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The latest 24.3 release won't compile on Windows with Visual C++ 2010 sp1
compiler (comes with windows sdk 7.1). There are two problems:

1. nmake.defs has a syntax error on line 119: `!if' should be `!ifdef'

2. GC_MARK_STACK is 1 by default in config.nt, but this default is broken
with the msvc toolchain.  When temacs started to dump,
it immediately exited with the message `Invalid function: "DEAD"'. Eli had
previously told me (in #12878) to see bug #13070, but it didn't solve the
problem. When I tried to change GC_MARK_STACK to 0, Emacs compiled fine. So
there must be something wrong about the GCPROS_NOOPS way of marking stack
under the vc compiler, maybe someone familiar with the garbage collector
can fix it. (MinGW gcc is ok with the default)

Sorry about that.  I guess no one tried to build Emacs with MSVC
during the entire pretest period.  Perhaps in the future you could do
that, so that any such problems could be fixed in time.

Or maybe it should say

  !if $(USE_CRT_DLL)

instead?

Not only MinGW, but I believe Fabrice (CC'ed) also builds Emacs with
MSVC and uses GC_MARK_STACK.  Fabrice, can you please comment on this?

I'd like to.

Yes, seems more appropriate.

Maybe the the bug is introduced after Emacs 24.2, which can be built and
dumped with GC_MARK_STACK.

Regarding the GC_MARK_STACK, I want to provide a little more information:
the error occurred after the first Fgarbage_collect while loading
loadup.el, and some important functions are not marked and thus garbage
collected. As in alloc.c the `car' of a cons is set to `Vdead' when freed,
I suppose this is where the "DEAD" comes from.

Hi,

Eli: in what ways 24.3 differs from the current trunk ?
Well, I can browse the diffs but you may have an insight of what's going
wrong.

At first, I thought about the thing we fixed with TZ. But it does not seem
to be the problem.
Albeit this maybe a source of a potential crash. The fix is needed for
windows, given
the way environment is handled (if I remember correctly).
At this moment,  I can compile the current trunk and bootstrap it. But not
24.3 .

I can confirm that with GC_MARK_STACK=0, 24.3 does compile with the MS
compiler.
With GC_MARK_STACK=1, 24.3 doesn't compile, but the current trunk (well, my
copy, but which is quite close) does compile, 32bits and 64bits.
It may be a bit hairy to find out why.

Can you copy to 24.3 the changes made on trunk (in
editfns.c:set_time_zone_rule) to use putenv and unsetenv instead of
reallocating entries in 'environ', and see if that solves the problem
in 24.3?  In addition to the changes in editfns.c, you will also need
sys_putenv and unsetenv on w32.c.

TIA

I tried importing this change in editfns.c but it doesn't change anything.

If I run only temacs.exe without any arguments, I get a very quick
backtrace:

C:\>"C:\Source\XEmTeX\emacs\emacs-24.3\src/obj-spd/AMD64/temacs.exe"

I put a breakpoint in xsignal1() to get this backtrace. So it seems that
eval() is unable to process any kind of function.

Thanks.

李丁, do you also compile Emacs 24.3 as a 64-bit executable?  Or do
you build it as a 32-bit executable?

I may add that I reported a 64bits stacktrace, but I get the exact same
result with 32bits:

I still wonder why the current trunk is working at all for me.

I compiled Emacs as a 32-bit executable.

If I run only temacs.exe without any arguments, I get a very quick
> backtrace:


I also traced the execution of `temacs -batch -l loadup dump' with windbg,
and got a similar stack trace as Fabrice (I breakpointed Fgarbage_collect):

When I stepped out Fgarbage_collect, the error occurred just after this gc
at here in eval_sub:

if (!CONSP (fun))
xsignal1 (Qinvalid_function, original_fun);

I also tried removing most of loadup.el, and temacs can execute only the
first few lines, and even an additional `(+ 1 1)' caused temacs to exit
with the "DEAD" message. As I previously reported, I guess that the first
garbage collection cycle does not mark any read-in form, thus all of them
are collected (and their car set to Vdead).

For 64 bits, the trunk includes quite a few fixes that the emacs-24
branch doesn't.  But if you get the same crash in a 32-bit executable,
my theory that this is related to those fixes eats dust now.

If any one of you could debug this and find the culprit, we could fix
the emacs-24 branch.  Failing that, I suggest to use the trunk, in the
hope that the next release from that codebase will support MSVC.

Thanks.

Many things changed on the trunk, most of them unrelated.  Which one
is causing this, is hard to say.  One thing you can do is compare the
w32*.[ch] files and perhaps lisp.h as well, between these two
branches.  Not sure if it's worth your while, though, nor whether the
root cause will reveal itself this way.

李丁:  could you try to compile the trunk with msvc and confirm that it is
working for you?
I would be very glad to hear a positive report, meaning I didn't mess

Though there are some minor errors (easy to fix), the latest trunk compiles

I guess this ends the hunt for what change fixed 24.3 for msvc.
I spent several hours trying to track it down, but couldn't. My closest
guest
is among the vector/list reading code. Lots of changes happened in this
area.
Nothing very obvious anyway.

It is very unlucky, because I compile the trunk quite often and this bug
never surfaced
for quite a long time (pre 24.1).

I guess the best option is to use the trunk as per Eli's proposal.

Thinking about it, another option is to use GC_MARK_STACK = 0 . This way,
people can stick to 24.3 .

I'm a bit afraid of the unstable status of the trunk (strange things
happens sometimes, at the moment,
it seems that emacs keeps track of the size of my laptop, but gets it wrong
when I connect to an
external display. It keeps resizing frames to the wrong dimensions).

That's an alternative, yes.

There was a bug which did that, but it was fixed yesterday.  Maybe you
should update your local trunk and rebuild.

It seems that the `!if USE_CRT_DLL' thing is not fixed yet...

Line 79 of vm-limit.c references a not-defined macro UINTPTR_MAX.
I guess it should be UINTMAX_MAX after having a look at nt/stdint.h.

Fixed.

I added definition of UINTPTR_MAX to nt/stdint.h.

Committed as trunk revision 112056.

Please try the current trunk, these two problems should be fixed
there.

Thanks.

So, unless one of you still wants to investigate what's wrong with
Emacs 24.3, I will close this bug report.

As for me, I think the problem can't be easily solved in a few days,
so you may close this bug report.
