Created attachment 14519 [details] backtrace from hanging (few minutes) Sorry for the lack of detail, I'm not sure how to describe this properly yet. In Gentoo, we have tooling for developers to use abidiff when upgrading packages or changing build options, which is a great convenience. It compares the system copy with the version just built. Thanks for libabigail, it's a huge help. With ghostscript-gpl-10.0.0, libabigail's abidiff seems to hang when doing this comparison (had been running for an hour at this point): ``` root 2761321 97.6 1.8 1360832 1242480 pts/1 RN+ 02:40 55:22 abidiff --stats --d1 /usr/lib/debug --d2 /var/tmp/portage/app-text/ghostscript-gpl-10.0.0-r4/image/usr/lib/debug /usr/lib64/libgs.so.10.00 /var/tmp/portage/app-text/ghostscript-gpl-10.0.0-r4/image/usr/lib64/libgs.so.10.00 ``` Same happens without --stats. $ abidiff --version abidiff: 2.2.0 Attached backtrace after running for about 3-4 minutes on a fresh run. Sorry it's not from a longer run, I can grab one of those if needed. Let me know if & how to grab more info. Thanks!
Sorry, I obviously should've provided two binaries as well. I'll upload them later today.
Hello, I have been looking at bug https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29857 and I think that the patch I am working on there should fix this one as well. But to be sure of that, I'd need to get my hand on the binaries you are looking at. Would that be possible, please? Thanks.

Here it is (too large to attach to bugzilla, hope that's alright): https://dev.gentoo.org/~sam/bugs/sourceware/29901/libabigail-bug.tar.xz

No problem. > Here it is (too large to attach to bugzilla, hope > that's alright): > https://dev.gentoo.org/~sam/bugs/sourceware/29901/libabigail-bug.tar.xz I could get it. Thank you. However, the debug info of each binary (libgs.so.10.00 and libgs.so.10.00.new) are split out into separate debuginfo files. Those files must be somewhere (probably under /usr/lib/debug) on your system and are named "libgs.so.10.00.debug". I need those debug files to reproduce the issue. Could you please provide them as well? Thanks in advance.
My apologies -- obvious in retrospect! Please try again at the same link.

This problem should hopefully be fixed by commit https://sourceware.org/git/?p=libabigail.git;a=commit;h=e1aadfa576963f2baddc6b6bf17898a86e3a041e. On my machine, the comparison now ends up in about less than 45minutes. This is still a lot, but at least there is no more infinite loop. This fix should be available in libabigail 2.3. Thank you taking the time to report this problem and sorry for the inconvenience.
