error alert message when using ThreadSearch Plugin
« on: July 30, 2022, 10:25:00 am »
When search by thread search plugin, I got a alert message, and I press the "Yes", C::B crashes. (If I press "Cancel", C::B can continue to run)


Code
codeblocks.exe caused a Breakpoint at location 000007FEDC0902D7 in module wxmsw317u_gcc_cb.dll.

I'm not sure how the call stack is generated. I put a ThreadSearch.dll (from the src\devel31_64\share\CodeBlocks\plugins) which should contains all the debug information, but the call stack does not contain the source file and line information.

                                     const wxString &originalLine)

    wxString line;
    if ( m_MatchCase == false )
    {
        line = originalLine.Lower();
    }

    int count = 0;

    const std::vector<int>::size_type countIdx = outMatchedPositions->size();

    do
    {
        // "TestTest Test"
        // start word [0;4], [9;4]
        // match word [9;4]
        // none [0;4] [4;4] [9;4]

        wxString::size_type pos = line.find(m_SearchText, start);
        if (pos == wxString::npos)
            break;

        if ((m_MatchWordBegin || m_MatchWord) && pos > 0)
        {
            // Try to see if this is the start of the word.
            const char prevChar = line.GetChar(pos - 1);
            if (isalnum(prevChar) || prevChar == '_')
            {
                start++;
                continue;
            }
        }

        if (m_MatchWord && (pos + m_SearchText.length() < line.length()))
        {
            // Try to see if this is the end of the word.
            const char nextChar = line.GetChar(pos + m_SearchText.length());
            if (isalnum(nextChar) || nextChar == '_')
            {
                start++;
                continue;
            }
        }

        // We have a match add positions for it.
        if (count == 0)
            outMatchedPositions->push_back(0);
        ++count;
        outMatchedPositions->push_back(pos);
        outMatchedPositions->push_back(m_SearchText.length());

        start = pos + m_SearchText.length();
    } while (1);

    if (count > 0)
    {
        (*outMatchedPositions)[countIdx] = count;
        return true;
    }
    else
        return false;
}


I guess the issue is that if a non ASCII char (for example, a Chinese character) is converted to a char, which cause the issue.

I'm not sure how the call stack is generated. I put a ThreadSearch.dll (from the src\devel31_64\share\CodeBlocks\plugins) which should contains all the debug information, but the call stack does not contain the source file and line information.

I just found that in this link: https://vroby.ddns.net/Public/sdlBasic/MinGW/doc/drmingw/drmingw.html

It said, if we want to got the file and line debug information, the libbfd library is needed. So, can we have this library linked?

Quote
Using ExcHndl for you own purposes

If you incorporate ExcHndl in you own programs, especially those that you release to others, you can have almost the same exception information that you would get with Dr. Mingw, but with no need of the end user to have Dr. Mingw installed.

You can use ExcHndl in two ways:

    linking exchndl.o and libbfd.a with your program objects
    linking exchndl.o and libfd.a in the EXCHNDL.DLL and dinamically loading it at run-time. This can be done by linking just exchndl2.o or explicitly calling LoadLibrary("exchndl.dll")

The latter method is preferred because you have smaller executables and don't need to link the BFD library in all builds. The application wont fail if the EXCHNDL.DLL is missing.

So, does our exchndl.dll have the libbfd.a included? I guess it's not.  :(

My understanding is that the exchndl.dll is from https://github.com/jrfonseca/drmingw/releases

I have not looked at it more than that. I have had to grab the 32 bit release in order to incorporate it so you can run the 32 bit C::B without removing the code in app.cpp.
Dr MinGW is "linked" in via the following call in app.cpp:
Code
void CodeBlocksApp::InitExceptionHandler()
{
#ifdef __WXMSW__
    ExcHndlInit();
.... code removed......}

You could try using the latest version to see if it works better than the one you have. You can do this by updating the DLL's and yes file as I have done this before and it worked.

I download the latest release:
0.9.5 from github.com/jrfonseca/drmingw site.

And I paste the dlls and other files in the bin folder to the codeblocks' root folder. Then I make the crash, but it does not generate the RPT file.  :(

EDIT:

It looks like I have to rebuild the C::B (the src target)

EDIT2

It looks like the latest official release version 0.9.5 of drmingw can't catch the crash.

EDIT3

I will try to use this one from msys2 instead
Package: mingw-w64-x86_64-drmingw - MSYS2 Packages

Hope this is of some use.
I updated to the latest https://github.com/jrfonseca/drmingw/releases DrMingw 0.9.5 x64 last night and today in the rpt it has code and line numbers in it as per the RPT snippet below.

The compiler setup I am using is:
  • MYS2 MinGW64
  • gcc (Rev3, Built by MSYS2 project) 12.1.0
  • The debug compiler flags used were -g -O0 -ggdb
  • I built using gnu++17 option
The following is a compilation line from the build log for the src build:

Hi, AndrewCot, thanks for the help.

My cb_release_type is much simple: "-g".

I just search for a while, it looks "-O0" is the default gcc compiler if I don't set any "-Ox"

About the other option "-ggdb", some search result shows it is mainly the same as "-g" under Windows.

But anyway, I will try to rebuild C::B again with the option "-g -O0 -ggdb" as the "cb_release_type".

BTW: for me, I only put a dll (for example, the clangd_client.dll) which contains the debug information in my final testing C::B, I mean my C::B (such as codeblocks.exe) is stripped, while only one dll is not stripped.

When I googled and looked up the options there were some sites saying you needed this and not that and other said something different so I choose to include all three options to ensure I got exactly what I wanted.
On Windows my build/install process does not strip anything as I want to see where issues occur as you will appreciate I am trying a bunch of different bleeding edge changes and integrating allot of different things in my build.

Regarding the Dr. MinGW part, recent versions do not run on Windows 7.

If you need to run on Win 7 or XP then you can grab the files in sub directories from the following directory to save time figuring out which Dr Mingw you need:

Thanks, do you know which is the latest version of Dr MinGW which support Windows 7. Or maybe there are someone which supply a better JIT debugger?

I have follow the way(use the -O0 and -ggdb option) AndrewCot did, and I have downloaded several release version of Dr.MinGW, and they did not give me the call stack.

drmingw-0.9.5-win64, does not work, no call stack crash report.
drmingw-0.9.4-win64, does not work, no call stack crash report.
drmingw-0.9.3-win64, I can't start C::B if I use this dll, it report some api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0.dll is missing

drmingw-0.9.2-win64, it works, but not the full call stack is printed, I got only two lines, like below:

Code
codeblocks.exe caused a Breakpoint at location 000007FECAE102D7 in module wxmsw317u_gcc_cb.dll.

AddrPC           Params
000007FECAE102D7 0000000007374C92 0000000007374BF0 000000000C4FEEB0  wxmsw317u_gcc_cb.dll!wxUniChar::ToHi8bit

So, it looks like the only version is the 0.9.1 which is in our SVN repo, but it can't print the line info of the call stack.  :(
