Description Frantisek Reznicek 2013-06-07 14:03:43 UTC

Description of problem:

Sporadic qpid::types::Variant qpid::types::InvalidConversion exceptions (some even from string to string):

There are detected rare occurrences of unexpected qpid::types::InvalidConversion exceptions.

Some were triggered by sesame daemon see bug 772584, some triggered by qmf v1 qmf-agent example which are listed below:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qpid-0.18

How reproducible:
< 1%

Steps to Reproduce:
TEST_PARAM_RHTS_TEST_MRG_QPID_TEST_QMF_AGENT_BZ470167_LOOPS=100 make rb
or
1] compile the qmf-agent from sources (revision matching)
2] launch qmf-agent (no broker running)
3] stop qmf-agent by SIGINT signal
3.5] expect qmf-agent will cleanly shut down
4] run the broker
5] launch qmf-agent (broker running)
6] stop qmf-agent by SIGINT signal
6.5] expect qmf-agent will cleanly shut down
7] stop the broker
7.5] expect broker shuting down cleanly


Actual results:
qmf-agent uncovers that qpid::types::Variant sometimes does not convert obvious types.

Expected results:
qmf-agent should not trigger uqpid::types::InvalidConversion.

Comment 1 Justin Ross 2013-06-19 21:11:11 UTC

Ken, please assess.

Comment 2 Ken Giusti 2013-06-25 13:04:51 UTC

Created attachment 765075 [details]
Attempted reproducer - no failures.

I'm having difficulty reproducing this.

I've run the attached script against both trunk and 0.14-mrg-preview-2 for several hours on my F17 box (x86_64) with no luck.

Comment 3 Ken Giusti 2013-06-25 13:08:40 UTC

My guess would be some sort of corruption, but have been unable to repro (see previous comment).  This event is especially confusing:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'qpid::types::InvalidConversion'
  what():  invalid conversion: Cannot convert from string to string (qpid/types/Variant.cpp:511)


Since the "string to string" conversion is actually a path through that method that would avoid throwing the exception!


Need to reproduce this - are there any specific environments that tend to reproduce this?  I've trunk trunk and 0.14-mrg-preview-2 on f17 64-bit, with no luck.

Comment 4 Frantisek Reznicek 2013-07-04 07:45:06 UTC

I'll reproduce that for you on RHEL, will stay in touch. (I'm gonna clear needinfo once reproduced)
