Hi,

Today I experienced multiple crashes on macOS Sierra.

These happened during regular programming, mostly while typing code. I attached here the crash dump(s). I believe I heard Phil having the same issue with the stable Pharo VM.

Does anyone else has the same issue?

The VM is: CoInterpreter VMMaker.oscog-eem.2203 uuid: 12d4afae-8498-4e76-8efe-60eba6ef4db2 May 2 2017 StackToRegisterMappingCogit VMMaker.oscog-eem.2203 uuid: 12d4afae-8498-4e76-8efe-60eba6ef4db2 May 2 2017 VM: 201705021552 https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git $ Date: Tue May 2 08:52:41 2017 -0700 $ Plugins: 201705021552 https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git $

The Pharo update number is: 60482

Cheers, Doru

Hi Tudor, it seems you type too fast. More seriously, if I google some of the apple methods in the stack like for example "bug InputMethodInstanceProcessEventRef_WithCompletionHandler" I see quite some many hits indicating that: - we are not alone - either there are some bug on mac os - or it's complex to use the frameworks right...

Debugging this kind of low level problem is going to be tough... Probably some advanced objective-C knowledge is required.

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks.

You might be right. It just happened again while typing.

Hi,

I just had the issue again while typing code.

I actually cannot work. Is it really only me, or is it that others just got used to living with this and not report the issue?

I would consider this a blocker. Do you agree?

I have exactly the same problem. It happens at least once a day for me. It is very annoying. It always happens when typing, and I would I say when I press many keys within a very small delay. Here is a crash dump I experienced (OS X 10.11.4):

Hi,

Today I experienced multiple crashes on macOS Sierra.

These happened during regular programming, mostly while typing code. I attached here the crash dump(s). I believe I heard Phil having the same issue with the stable Pharo VM.

Does anyone else has the same issue?

The VM is: CoInterpreter VMMaker.oscog-eem.2203 uuid: 12d4afae-8498-4e76-8efe-60eba6ef4db2 May 2 2017 StackToRegisterMappingCogit VMMaker.oscog-eem.2203 uuid: 12d4afae-8498-4e76-8efe-60eba6ef4db2 May 2 2017 VM: 201705021552 https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git $ Date: Tue May 2 08:52:41 2017 -0700 $ Plugins: 201705021552 https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git $

The Pharo update number is: 60482

Cheers, Doru

Obviously I have to spend some time today to look at this problem. Do need to know if people are typing just plan english ascii characters, or?

At commit point d0e7bfa0f8d99b856d9ac56372f7dacecdd63106 (5/5/17) Tobias added

NSEvent* syntheticEvent = AUTORELEASEOBJ([NSEvent keyEventWithType:(isUp ? NSEventTypeKeyUp : NSEventTypeKeyDown)

location:[theEvent locationInWindow]

modifierFlags:(isUp ? oldFlags : [theEvent modifierFlags])

timestamp:[theEvent timestamp]

windowNumber:[theEvent windowNumber]

context: nil

characters: @""

charactersIgnoringModifiers: @""

isARepeat: NO

keyCode:[theEvent keyCode]]);

in sqSqueakOSXOpenGLView.m at - (void)flagsChanged:(NSEvent *)theEvent

However I believe this is incorrect as the NSEvent class side method is by the old non-arc memory rules implicitly an autoreleased object, so doing the AUTORELEASEOBJ() might cause side effects. https://developer.apple.com/ library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/ Articles/mmRules.html

+ (NSEvent *)keyEventWithType:(NSEventType)type location:(NSPoint)location modifierFlags:(NSEventModifierFlags)flags timestamp:(NSTimeInterval)time windowNumber:(NSInteger)wNum context:(NSGraphicsContext *)unusedPassNil characters:(NSString *)keys charactersIgnoringModifiers:(NSString *)ukeys isARepeat:(BOOL)flag keyCode:(unsigned short)code;

If Tobias can verify and submit a change we can see if that affects the behaviour we have been observing. Note that I"ve not been able to recreate the problem, but in eyeballing the code this leaps out as suspect.

Hi,

Today I experienced multiple crashes on macOS Sierra.

These happened during regular programming, mostly while typing code. I attached here the crash dump(s). I believe I heard Phil having the same issue with the stable Pharo VM.

Does anyone else has the same issue?

The VM is: CoInterpreter VMMaker.oscog-eem.2203 uuid: 12d4afae-8498-4e76-8efe-60eba6ef4db2 May 2 2017 StackToRegisterMappingCogit VMMaker.oscog-eem.2203 uuid: 12d4afae-8498-4e76-8efe-60eba6ef4db2 May 2 2017 VM: 201705021552 https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git $ Date: Tue May 2 08:52:41 2017 -0700 $ Plugins: 201705021552 https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git $

The Pharo update number is: 60482

Cheers, Doru

in sqSqueakOSXOpenGLView.m at - (void)flagsChanged:(NSEvent *)theEvent

That's correct.

...

However I believe this is incorrect as the NSEvent class side method is by the old non-arc memory rules implicitly an autoreleased object, so doing the AUTORELEASEOBJ() might cause side effects. https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/M...

(NSEvent *)keyEventWithType:(NSEventType)type location:(NSPoint)location modifierFlags:(NSEventModifierFlags)flags timestamp:(NSTimeInterval)time windowNumber:(NSInteger)wNum context:(NSGraphicsContext *)unusedPassNil characters:(NSString *)keys charactersIgnoringModifiers:(NSString *)ukeys isARepeat:(BOOL)flag keyCode:(unsigned short)code;

Well, I have not found a reference to how this relates to autorelease (the Apple docs are becoming increasingly useless these days :() I read this https://developer.apple.com/reference/appkit/nsevent/1533943-keyeventwithtyp... and the header /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Headers/NSEvent.h and although autorelase pops up somewhere in the file, it does not somewhere near the declaration. I read through the code an found quite a few AUTORELEASEOBJ() around object creation and (apparently wrongly) thought I would need that here.

I now understand that I should only autorelease alloc/inited stuff.

So you may be right here.

Fixed in 0f07ffbed

Best regards -Tobias

...

If Tobias can verify and submit a change we can see if that affects the behaviour we have been observing. Note that I"ve not been able to recreate the problem, but in eyeballing the code this leaps out as suspect.

Hi Tudor, it seems you type too fast. More seriously, if I google some of the apple methods in the stack like for example "bug InputMethodInstanceProcessEventRef_WithCompletionHandler" I see quite some many hits indicating that:

we are not alone

either there are some bug on mac os

or it's complex to use the frameworks right...

Debugging this kind of low level problem is going to be tough... Probably some advanced objective-C knowledge is required.
