[Overview] Executing 'abidiff' against to centos7.6's 'libxul.so.debug' will cause coredump, the output from 'bt' command of 'gdb' shows below: /* command begin */ # abidiff libxul.so.debug libxul.so.debug abidiff: abg-dwarf-reader.cc:14628: abigail::ir::function_type_sptr abigail::dwarf_reader::build_function_type(abigail::dwarf_reader::read_context&, Dwarf_Die*, abigail::ir::class_or_union_sptr, size_t): Assertion `__abg_cond__' failed.

The reason to executing 'abidiff' in this way is all for reproducing problem in more clear way, expressing this problem is only caused by reading dwarf from centos7.6's 'libxul.so.debug'. [Steps to Reproduce] (1)download 'thunderbird' binary rpm that contains 'libxul.so.debug' from centos7.6 website: http://debuginfo.centos.org/7/x86_64/thunderbird-debuginfo-52.9.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm (2)unpack 'thunderbird' binary rpm to get the 'libxul.so.debug' rpm2cpio thunderbird-debuginfo-52.9.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idum (3)create symbolic link to 'libxul.so.debug' for handy access: ln -s usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/thunderbird/libxul.so.debug . (4)executing 'abidiff' to reproducing problem: abidiff libxul.so.debug libxul.so.debug [Actual Results] 'abidiff' crashes with coredump: /* crash output begin */ abidiff: abg-dwarf-reader.cc:14628: abigail::ir::function_type_sptr abigail::dwarf_reader::build_function_type(abigail::dwarf_reader::read_context&, Dwarf_Die*, abigail::ir::class_or_union_sptr, size_t): Assertion `__abg_cond__' failed. Aborted (core dumped) /* crash output end */ [Expected Results] 'abidiff' finishes normally without any message, because the 2 compared dynamic libraries are same. [Additional Information] the libabigail version that reproduding against: git repo: git://sourceware.org/git/libabigail.git branch: master HEAD commit: 7bd69830520f2e7ce4efb989b5fd23fde316c7c1(Make Front Ends first class citizens)
Hello, Thank you for reporting this problem. What version of libabigail/abidiff are you using? Is it possible to try to reproduce the issue with the last version of libabigail from the master branch of the git repository at https://sourceware.org/git/?p=libabigail.git;a=summary?

Thank you for replying, this problem was reproduced with libabigail of version 1.6, 2.0, 2.1. And we try to use the latest master branch of the git repository to see whether it can be fixed, but it was reproduced again: - git repo: git://sourceware.org/git/libabigail.git - branch: master - HEAD commit that reproduce against: 7bd69830520f2e7ce4efb989b5fd23fde316c7c1(Make Front Ends first class citizens)
I looked into this with the latest commit on the master branch: 4bdaf30b dwarf-reader: Avoid duplicating member functions Here is the correct way to use libabigail's abidiff on this. Create a directory named firefox-91.13.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64. cd into that directory. Unpack the packages firefox-91.13.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm AND firefox-debuginfo-91.13.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm into that directory. Then, run abidiff against usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so (not the .debug file). You just have to tell abidiff where the debug info is using the --d{1,2} option. Where to find the debug info is the usr/lib/debug directory. So, here is the command line. [dodji@box firefox-91.13.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64]$ /usr/bin/time -v build/tools/abidiff --d1 usr/lib/debug --d2 usr/lib/debug usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so Command being timed: "~/git/libabigail/master/build/tools/abidiff --d1 usr/lib/debug --d2 usr/lib/debug usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so" User time (seconds): 2717.90 System time (seconds): 28.44 Percent of CPU this job got: 99% Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 45:46.45 Average shared text size (kbytes): 0 Average unshared data size (kbytes): 0 Average stack size (kbytes): 0 Average total size (kbytes): 0 Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 45826624 Average resident set size (kbytes): 0 Major (requiring I/O) page faults: 3 Minor (reclaiming a frame) page faults: 22636614 Voluntary context switches: 47 Involuntary context switches: 3442 Swaps: 0 File system inputs: 12728 File system outputs: 1280 Socket messages sent: 0 Socket messages received: 0 Signals delivered: 0 Page size (bytes): 65536 Exit status: 0 [dodji@box firefox-91.13.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64]$ So, things appears to work correctly as far as I can tell. Thanks for taking time to report this.

Thans you for debugging this problem using your precious time, but the problem that related to original thunderbird's libxul.so still exists when we test against the updated master branch of git repository. As you said, the firefox's libxul.so doesn't have this problem, but the thunderbird's libxul.so does have, even if we updated the master branch to include the commit 4bdaf30b (dwarf-reader: Avoid duplicating member functions). Details of steps for reproducing shows below: (1)confirm that we at the updated master branch that had the fixed commit # git remote -v origin git://sourceware.org/git/libabigail.git (fetch) origin git://sourceware.org/git/libabigail.git (push) # git branch * master # git log --oneline -10 4bdaf30b (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) dwarf-reader: Avoid duplicating member functions d222b447 dwarf-reader: Leverage ODR & DWZ 754364d5 Fix spurious deleted/added virtual destructor change report 77ae3141 ctf-reader: Fix array size representation e33a74fb ctf-reader: Fix representation of multidimensional arrays (2)'configure' and 'make' the master branch # ./configure # make (3)reassure the newly compiled 'abidiff' is linked to the newly compiled 'libabigail.so' # ldd tools/.libs/abidiff ... libabigail.so.1 => /root/tmp/libabigail-git/libabigail/src/.libs/libabigail.so.1 (0x0000fffe0d700000) ... (4)download the binary centos7.6 rpm of 'thunderbird' and 'thunderbird-debuginfo', and then decompressing them # mkdir thunderbird/ && cd thunderbird/ # wget https://vault.centos.org/7.6.1810/os/x86_64/Packages/thunderbird-52.9.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm # wget http://debuginfo.centos.org/7/x86_64/thunderbird-debuginfo-52.9.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm # mkdir with-debug/ without-debug/ # rpm2cpio thunderbird-debuginfo-52.9.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idum -D with-debug/ # rpm2cpio thunderbird-52.9.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idum -D without-debug/ # cd ../ (5)use newly compiled 'abidiff' to reproducing the problem that causes coredump # ./tools/.libs/abidiff --d1 thunderbird/with-debug/usr/lib/debug/ --d2 thunderbird/with-debug/usr/lib/debug/ thunderbird/without-debug/usr/lib64/thunderbird/libxul.so thunderbird/without-debug/usr/lib64/thunderbird/libxul.so abidiff: abg-dwarf-reader.cc:13825: abigail::ir::function_type_sptr abigail::dwarf::build_function_type(abigail::dwarf::reader&, Dwarf_Die*, abigail::ir::class_or_union_sptr, size_t): Assertion `__abg_cond__' failed.

Alright, I could finally reproduce the issue. I was indeed looking at the firefox's libxul.so, not the thunderbird's. A fix for this issue was committed to the master branch at https://sourceware.org/git/?p=libabigail.git;a=commit;h=1f51b9e85dc42dc71caf7fe79436d64c6a3d03f3. The fix will be available in the coming 2.2 version of libabigail. Thank you for taking the time to file this problem report and for your dedication. Sorry for the inconvenience.
