Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Emacs crashes when using the suspend-frame command (bound
to C-z by default) on the main frame. It works correctly when the frame
is minimized by clicking on the GUI button.
Recipe: Start emacs -Q; type C-z; Emacs crashes with:
Fatal error 11: Segmentation faultAbort trap: 6
Partial crash dump from OS X console follows. Please let me know if I can
be of further assistance.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
ICB

I can confirm this happens in Emacs 25 and the master branch.

Thanks.
Could one of you please show a more detailed backtrace, preferably
from GDB, showing exactly which source line crashed, and perhaps also
what data was invalid and caused the crash?
Also, does iconify-frame at all work on OS X?

Thank you for your reply. At the bottom of this email there is a backtrace taken with lldb (case #1), OS X does not have gdb by default.
I’m wandering into unfamiliar territory, but it seems to me that the crash is due to a NULL pointer dereference within GUI-related system libraries, probably an Objective C object pointer.
On occasion, I also get a different kind of crash in the same scenario, which leads me to suspect a memory corruption issue. The lldb backtrace is also at the bottom of this email (case #2). In case #2, the following error message is dumped onto stderr just before crashing:
objc[13904]: autorelease pool page 0x101067000 corrupted
magic 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x101106c0 0xe0000000
should be 0xa1a1a1a1 0x4f545541 0x454c4552 0x21455341
pthread 0x7fff776e3000
should be 0x7fff776e3000
As you can see, the pre-built executable I’m currently using does not have symbolic debugging information, I’ll try to build from sources and get back to you with more information soon.
> Also, does iconify-frame at all work on OS X?
When invoked manually, from M-x, it works correctly only sometimes. In other cases, it crashes Emacs as above (case #1). With low probability, Emacs may also get trapped in a busy loop between itself and the kernel (they both take about 50% of CPU time). I saw it but, unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce this issue within lldb so far.
Best regards,
ICB

The last thing it does before crashing (but after minimizing) is:
[EmacsView drawRect:(X:578 Y:4)/(W:15 H:472)]
Which is a rather tall and narrow box.
If I turn off scroll-bars it doesn't crash.
Emacs really shouldn't be trying to draw scroll-bars to the screen
when it's minimized, I'd think.
I'll look into it more when I've got some time.

Just to give it a try (I know this is far away from being a proper patch and I’m not an expert on Cocoa), I added
|| !FRAME_VISIBLE_P (emacsframe)
to the predicate at nsterm.m:7593. This should short-circuit drawRect when the frame is not visible and Emacs no longer crashes.
Best regards,
ICB

Hi Ivan and Alan!
I'm not sure that is the correct place for the patch.
Could you enable NSTRACE (by uncommenting the line defining NSTRACE_ENABLED
in nsterm.h) and see which function calls `drawRect` (if possible). If that
is in a function that is part of Emacs, it's better to check that the frame
is visible higher up in the call chain.
You will have to start Emacs from a terminal window in order to see the
trace output. You can do this by running
"./nextstep/Emacs.app/Content/MacOS/Emacs".

here is the relevant part of the trace output:
nsterm.m : 1595: [ 6322] x_iconify_frame
nsterm.m : 6770: [ 6323] | [EmacsView windowWillMiniaturize:]
nsterm.m : 6735: [ 6324] | [EmacsView windowDidResignKey:]
nsterm.m : 1504: [ 6325] | | ns_frame_rehighlight
nsterm.m : 7121: [ 6326] | [EmacsView windowDidMiniaturize:]
nsterm.m : 7591: [ 6327] | [EmacsView drawRect:(X:578 Y:4)/(W:15 H:472)]
If I understand it correctly, the top-level function involved (within nsterm.m) is x_iconify_frame. The only explicit call pertinent to the issue that I see within it is:
[[view window] miniaturize: NSApp];
at nsterm.m:1615. I think that the others, from windowWillMiniaturize to drawRect, are callbacks. The reason why a miniaturize request triggers a drawRect escapes me at this time, but I’m definitely not an expert on this GUI.
Thank you and please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,
Ivan

Hi!
Thanks for the trace output.
As far as I can tell, I don't see a better location to place the test. (I
have to include myself in the group who have no idea why drawRect is being
called when the frame is miniatured.) I would suggest that we add it as you
originally suggested.
Alan, what do you say? Have you looked into this?

I've had a very quick look into this and it seems to actually be one,
or both, of the calls to block_input and unblock_input in drawRect
that are causing the crash.
I don't know what they do or why they're causing the crash.

Right, on a hunch that it's something to do with Emacs receiving and
processing signals or input of some sort during or immediately after
minimization, I tried wrapping
[[view window] miniaturize: NSApp];
in x_iconify_frame with block_input and unblock_input:
block_input();
[[view window] miniaturize: NSApp];
unblock_input();
which seems to have solved the crash.
I'm not super-happy with this as the error message implies that
something is being created in Objective C, then either clobbered or
released elsewhere, *then* Objective C tries to release it
automatically and it's already clobbered/gone. But I can't trace it
back to find out what's actually going on. It appears to be related to
unblock_input forcing the processing of "pending" signals or input
when drawRect runs, but why is that breaking Objective C's garbage
collection routines?
I guess it probably doesn't matter, as long as it works.

This seems like a much cleaner solution than the earlier.
It looks very similar to the startup crash I tracked down a fixed about a
year ago, when input events started to arrive before emacs had finished its
initialization.

Hi!
This is good news! I can't recreate the problem here, most likely because
I'm still on 10.10. However, it works for Alan and Ivan, who originally
reported the problem, has confirmed that the patch corrects the problem.
Unless anybody objects, I will push the patch to "emacs-25" in a day or
two. John?
Thanks everybody!

Thank you so much! I applied your patch to 25.0.93 and tried it on OS X, both with and without NSTRACE_ENABLED. It does not count as a formal test, but I can confirm no crashes after minimizing/restoring about 20 times each. I did it because here Emacs crashed most of the time, but not always, and it seemed to depend on timings.
