Description bpholman5 2019-07-19 19:09:37 UTC
Description of problem:

glibc assertion fails (I think it should segfault instead): 
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-lookup.c: 825: _dl_lookup_symbol_x: Assertion `version != NULL' failed!

Short investigation appears to show assertion in source code here: 
https://github.com/bminor/glibc/blob/glibc-2.28/elf/dl-lookup.c


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[bholman@localhost set-c]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 5.1.16-200.fc29.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jul 3 16:03:17 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[bholman@localhost set-c]$ rpm -qa glibc
glibc-2.28-33.fc29.i686
glibc-2.28-33.fc29.x86_64

[bholman@localhost set-c]$ rpm -qa gcc
gcc-8.3.1-2.fc29.x86_64



How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. on fedora 29, group install dev tools: 
 dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"

2. verify matching versions (glibc 2.28-33, gcc 8.3.1-2, kernel-5.1.16-200)

3. get copy of my code that fails:
 git clone https://github.com/holmanbph/set-c.git       # stored on git
 cd set-c
 git checkout d410a339fc25fa9192d211d4c032b7e3499b46c8  # this commit produces the error

4. compile code
 make

5. run binary 
 ./test

Actual results:
Running this code produces the glibc assertion error and exits.  This hinders debugging with gdb. 

[bholman@localhost set-c]$ ./test

PASS - set_member()

printing the set pointers
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-lookup.c: 825: _dl_lookup_symbol_x: Assertion `version != NULL' failed!
[bholman@localhost set-c]$ echo $?
127

Expected results:
This should produce a segfault, which can be used for debugging with gcc.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Additional info:
this appears to correctly throw SEGFAULT on fedora 30 with glibc-2.29-15 / gcc-9.1.1-1 / kernel-5.1.12-300

Comment 1 Florian Weimer 2019-07-19 19:28:05 UTC
You are calling a function via function pointer that has an indeterminate value.  (The struct adt_funcs objects are not fully initialized.)  Anything can happen as a result.

Comment 2 bpholman5 2019-07-19 21:41:14 UTC
That's fair.  I expected a SIGSEG rather than a glibc assertion warning.  I suppose that it is an invalid assumption that a segfault will occur.  Thanks!
