Topic: Consistant rotation bug

[Cyrus Hall]

Ciao-

Linux user here.  Pretty much anytime I rotate on a large and active map I get a seg-fault with the exp branch.  Stack dump is the same each time, as follows:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

If you point me at a debug version, I'd be happy to give you some line numbers.  I don't have time to build myself currently.

Cheers!

Pugget,

welcome to the forums! Thank you very much for your interest in Simutrans-Experimental, and for your bug report. I am currently at work and do not have the code with me - I will look into this and get back to you when I can. Thank you very much again for your report.

James-

No problem; thanks for the welcome.  Do you use a formal bug tracker somewhere (bugzilla, trac, etc) such that I can file more formal reports?  Also, I had some time and tried to build out of git, but gcc started spitting out errors fairly heavily. Some of the problems appeared to be 32/64-bit issues (int v.s long int), others were just bad typecasts.  I didn't have the time in the end to fix them all, so still no line numbers on the crash.

Cheers,
Pugget

Pugget,

thank you very much for your help, and also for attempting to compile it. Sorry that you're having 64-bit related difficulties. I don't have any 64-bit hardware myself, so I can't test that. Can you send me your compiler output? I may not have time to look into that aspect of things for a long while, but it might be helpful anyway.

As to bug tracking, I haven't set up any such system yet, but it might be a good idea. Is there any particular (free) system that you recommend?

As for the bug - I have taken a guess at where the problem might be manifesting and coded in an extra null pointer check in the last method in your list. Can you upload a saved game so that I can test it?

Thank you again for your interest in Simutrans-Experimental! :-)

The following is the save file:
http://atelier.inf.unisi.ch/~hallc/64-stat-2.sve

In terms of bug tracking, I don't really have a preference.  Trac seems to be the friendliest to setup and use, but I'm not an expert.

For compiler errors, all sorts of stuff crops up.  Giving an exhaustive list would require I fix them as they come up, which I'm not in a position to do right now.  In general, it's stuff like:

simsys_x8.cc:214: error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘char*’
simsys_x8.cc:245: error: cannot convert ‘unsigned char*’ to ‘short unsigned int*’ in return

etc, etc.  I'd guess you are using a compiler besides gcc that is less picky about ANSI C.  Try turning on more warnings or an ANSI strict mode.

Also, another segfault to report.  When I try to create a station on particular squares in the save game linked to at top, I get seg faults:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

For example, go into underground mode and try and place a train station at 225,191,3.  This is the first underground station I've had issues with, but other overground stations have been issues as well.

Pugget,

thank you very much for your detailed report. Both the rotation bug and the 64-bit compile errors should be fixed in 3.13. Do let me know how you get along!

James-

Don't have a lot of time right now, but I just tested rotations in .14.  I can now rotate once, but then the following assert happens:

simutrans-exp-latest: simhalt.cc:494: void haltestelle_t::rotate90(sint16): Assertion `k_2 != koord::invalid' failed.
Calculating textures ...Aborted

I'm away for the next several days, and then I'll play with it some more.

Cheers,
Pugget

Pugget,

I can't reproduce that on Windows, I'm afraid. Has your saved game changed much since you uploaded it? If so, I'd be grateful for an updated version. Thank you very much for your report.
