#4423 closed defect (fixed)

CRUISE: Crash on most any action (OSX)

Reported by: SF/meddlingmonk Owned by: joostp
Priority: high Component: Engine: Cruise
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Cruise for a Corpse

Description

This is possibly a endianness-related problem. It only happens on computer (OSX) with PPC processor. Other computer (Fedora) with Intel processor doesn't experience it. Using 1.0.0svn42568. Except for walking around (and sometimes even that), on PPC computer most or all actions (look, examine, etc) cause ScummVM to either crash or freeze, requiring me to force quit.

Crash report

comment:1 by dreammaster, 15 years ago

I had a look at the crash report, and it was hard to wring any information from it as to where the problem might be occurring. Likewise, I had a look through all the initialisation code I could find, and I couldn't find any obvious place that's missing endian mapping.

Hopefully I can prevail on a developer with a big-endian system to give the game a quick run to see where the crash occurs, and from there figure out if, and where, the endian macros are missing.

It would be nice to fix before the release. Joost, do you have ability to test it on a BE system, e.g. PSP?

comment:4 by joostp, 15 years ago

The PSP is Little Endian, but I can try to debug it on my PS3.

comment:5 by joostp, 15 years ago

I can't reproduce this on my PS3 (running Ubuntu PPC) with latest subversion. I've walked around the ship examining and talking to everything I could without any freezes or crashes.

Maybe this is an Mac / OSX only issue? If so, I have no way to fix/test this.

comment:6 by sev-, 15 years ago

First question to the bug submitter. Is there a way for you to obtain the crash backtrace?

Also output of scummvm -d9 (with most debugging output), would be nice.

If there is no possibility, then only way would be to introduce lots of debugging output to the engine and run with -d9.

comment:8 by joostp, 15 years ago

I just fixed a few unaligned writes in this engine, which may or may not fix this issue. Someone on OSX please test.

comment:9 by SF/meddlingmonk, 15 years ago

No. It doesn't seem to be fixed. It still freezes or crashes on just about any action on my PPC Mac but not Intel PC with Fedora. Again, I suspect this is a problem on big endian machines--so it may not be an issue for Intel Macs but someone with an Intel Mac will have to try it and see.

I'm not sure if I can do a crash backtrace but I've run scummvm -d9:

Between the last two lines I examined the ashtray successfully (which seems to work fine everytime with svn 42761) and then tried to examine the rug which consistently crashes, giving the final line.

comment:10 by joostp, 15 years ago

Are you able to run the game in gdb? Getting a backtrace or just the offending line would be tremendously useful...

comment:11 by SF/meddlingmonk, 15 years ago

I've just taught myself what gdb is and how to use it. Hopefully I'm doing this right. I ran scummvm in gdb. I'm only getting freezes right now for some reason instead of sometimes a crash, but here's what I get when it freezes, from running to backtrace:

Thanks for this backtrace (and taking the time to learn gdb =)). Unfortunately nothing immediately jumps out at me, but perhaps dreammaster has an idea...

btw. the freezing is just gdb holding on to the window at the point of the crash. If you drop back to gdb, which appears to have happened given the error message, the program will have crashed.

comment:13 by joostp, 15 years ago

OK, just tried it on my Intel Mac and it crashes there too, so this isn't an alignment or endianness issue...

comment:14 by joostp, 15 years ago

Should be fixed/worked-around for real now, could you please try again?

comment:15 by SF/meddlingmonk, 15 years ago

Seems to be working. No crashes on examining or anything else. But you may want to look into the the Player Menu's behavior. It comes up ok when I right/left click but none of the actions seem to work. No crash, just no response at all. Can only save/load through CTRL-F5. It's like this on Fedora as well. Maybe should be a new bug report but maybe it's connected to what you just fixed.

comment:16 by joostp, 15 years ago

Thanks for testing (and reporting the bug in the first place).

The menu issue is completely unrelated, and a separate bug report should be filed for it. Closing this one.
