Description Jan Kratochvil 2012-03-12 16:31:32 UTC
Description of problem:
ABRT filed two absolutely different problems into a single Bug for GDB.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I have no idea how to find it out.

How reproducible:
Noticed it the first time now.

Steps to Reproduce:
?

Actual results:
Bug 738482 Comment 0:
  ../../gdb/dwarf2loc.c:188: internal-error:
    dwarf_expr_frame_base: Assertion `framefunc != NULL' failed.
Bug 738482 Comment 13:
  ../../gdb/thread.c:623: internal-error:
    is_thread_state: Assertion `tp' failed.

Expected results:
"Assertion `tp' failed." should be filed as a new Bug.

Additional info:
I understand ABRT got confused by the common internal-error code of GDB.

Comment 1 Miroslav Lichvar 2012-03-12 16:45:12 UTC
The problem seems to be that the first three function names used for the dedup hash are identical in both backtraces.

There is not much we can do with the hash, but this should be handled better in the new deduplication which uses 8 frames for comparison.

Comment 2 Jan Kratochvil 2012-03-12 17:02:00 UTC
The easy way would be to have application-specific info about crash functions.
For GDB it would be "internal_error".

The better design would be to store __attribute__((noreturn)) marker into DWARF so that ABRT can consider such marker as the crash code path start.

- $ rpm -q abrt

The limitation of the deduplication using the hash is known. The ABRT server which just has been deployed should deal with this better.
