[LLVMdev] Invalid or unaligned stack

Hi,

I am encountering a problem that I do not know how to debug. I would
greatly appreciate any guidance on this issue.

On Windows when I run Lua test cases from JITed code I am getting
following error:

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFCEEEAC500 (ntdll.dll) in lua.exe:
0xC0000028: An invalid or unaligned stack was encountered during an
unwind operation.

This is happening when the Lua code is attempting to call longjmp().

The Lua test case that triggers this is a recursive call as shown below.

function err_on_n (n)
  if n==0 then error(); exit(1);
  else err_on_n (n-1); exit(1);
  end
end

do
  function dummy (n)
    if n > 0 then
      assert(not pcall(err_on_n, n))
      dummy(n-1)
    end
  end
end

dummy(10)


I have a struct that is created on the stack in the JIT compiler, and
this error is triggered when I add a field to the struct - if I remove
the field the error stops. The struct is not very large in size - it
is only 392 bytes with the new field.

If I allocate this struct on the heap the error goes away.

Note that just adding the field triggers the error even if I have no
other code changes.

The error occurs in Release build but not in Debug build.
I am using Visual C++ 2013 - 64-bit, and LLVM 3.6.0 on Windows.
I see no other unexpected behaviour - all the other tests pass.

All tests pass on Ubuntu, using LLVM 3.5.1 and gcc 4.8.2.

Of course I am currently assuming that somewhere my program is
corrupting memory - but as I have no other signs of a memory
corruption - the issue may be something else.

Any tips on what the problem might be would be gratefully received.

Thanks and Regards
Dibyendu

[LLVMdev] Invalid or unaligned stack

See r227426 from Clang. setjmp on Win64 is really weird. There is a hidden
second parameter that you may need to fill in with @llvm.frameaddress.

[LLVMdev] Invalid or unaligned stack

Hi,

I constructed a minimal Lua program that reproduces the problem.
Essentially the problem occurs if a JITed function is recursively
called - and there is a longjmp from the inner call. Example:

function rais(n)
  if n == 0 then error()
  else rais(n-1)
  end
end
ravi.compile(rais)

function caller(n)
  pcall(rais,n)
end
ravi.compile(caller)

caller(1)

Here the call to error() triggers a longjmp. The pcall() calls setjmp.
The error only occurs on Windows as reported earlier.

I ran valgrind on Ubuntu to see if I could detect any memory issues.
Valgrind reports 6 errors of following type - not sure if this is an
issue or not.

This isn't enough info to solve the problem. Pasting the LLVM IR or C code
that calls setjmp and a stack trace of the crash might help figure it out,
though.

These memory leaks look unrelated.
