Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gil@cs.technion.ac.il QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1 This happens with x86_64 (executables) and does not happen with i386. This fact suggests that the fault is in architecture specific code (like nptl/sysdeps/x86_64/pthreaddef.h) or in code that does not work well for x86_64. The The GNU C Library bug reporting instructions request to report bugs to vendors as they may change the shipped glibc code. I encountered this on OpenSUSE 11.3 x86_64 using 64bit code and glibc 2.11.2 that came with the distribution. More details appear below in shell output contained in the reproduction instructions. This bug hinders code debugging/development. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I demonstrate this using a function that prints the return value of backtrace(). The returned value is different when the object file containing the function is linkeed into the executable and when it is included in a dynamic library linked to the executable. I included additional output like versions of gcc, ld, glibc, kernel.

A demonstration that this does not happen when building a 32 bit executable on the same host: trace returned 3 frames trace returned 3 frames Actual Results: As shown, backtrace() returns only one stack frame when called from a 64 bit dynamic library. Expected Results: backtrace() should return all the stack frames (call addresses) like it does when called from the main program. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
