Ryzom Client debug build on Mac problem (maybe same on Linux?)

Added by rti over 8 years ago

Hello.

I lately ran into some problems running the Ryzom Client as a debug build on Mac OS X.
I wonder if anyone has a debug build running on Linux?

I looked a bit into it, but until now I have no idea how to solve it.
The file and line number information gdb is providing is complete nonsense. Like gdb having problems with all the luabind template voodoo.

This is the backtrace i get (frame #0, #1, #2 are not implemented in types_nl.h):

INF 700c7be0 client.cpp 497 main <Unknown> : Pre-Login Init of Ryzom success
INF 700c7be0 client.cpp 500 main <Unknown> : Login of Ryzom...

(gdb)

The crash happens as soon as CLuaIHM::registerBasics() tries to register the CRGBA class. Commenting this lets the code crash at the next part (registering ucstring).
Maybe the error is related to the recent changes made for using newer lua/luabind version?

Btw: the release build passes this code without any problems.

first, are you sure everything is compiled in debug (nel and ryzom)? with same compiler/linker options?

second, is it possible that the debug and release binaries doesn't use the same allocator? for exampl, in release, when you allocate 4 bytes, you have 4 bytes, in debug, there s some extra debug value before and after the block.

if the lua is in release and ryzom/nel in debug, the mix can generate really strange behaviors.

last, it's very hard to know if it's a problem with debug mode, with mac or with 64 bits since you have all the 3 :)

Yes. when i tried, i compiled NeL and Ryzom in debug mode.
But I was about to ask it anyway... so combining NeL release with Ryzom debug is not a supported configuration?

I will double check compiler and linker options generated by CMake.
Yes, my Lua is built in release, and by LuaBind as well. I will check if building those in debug changes anything.

Thanks for the hints.

Thanks a lot for the hint. Lua debug build was the key.

I compilled both, lua and luabind, as static library with -g and the strange error is gone.
