I would love to help debugging this but Qt types seem awfully obscure to debug :-(.

History

#1 Updated by Darkstar almost 6 years ago

This seems to be related to highlight matching rules. You can narrow it down by removing your highlight rules one by one until it no longer crashes. The rule you removed is the problematic one

#2 Updated by digitalcircuit almost 6 years ago

  • Priority changed from Normal to High

Darkstar is correct - this is related to highlight matching. However, this actually stems from nickname highlight matching, not a specific highlight rule.

Would you look at the nicknames in use on your Quassel core, and either share them if not sensitive, or if sensitive, try them until you find whichever one causes the crash? It might have unusual characters in it, e.g. "\" or "[]"…

This crash appears to be in Qt's code (or one below), so it might be a Qt bug to file. It'd still be useful to find out what causes it, in case we can fix or workaround this.

#3 Updated by mgorny almost 6 years ago

I don't have any custom highlight matching rules. I've just disabled local highlights for all nicknames to check if that changes anything.

Also, I've noticed a weird thing trying to debug this. If I rebuild libpcre2 with '-O0 -ggdb', I can't reproduce the crash anymore. '-O2' causes it to crash again.

#4 Updated by mgorny almost 6 years ago

And it just crashed randomly again (and it highlighted me on my nick too). I've just disabled remote highlights for further investigation.

#5 Updated by mgorny almost 6 years ago

Upon investigating further, I've noticed that tests inside libpcre crash as well on this particular system, while they pass on my other systems. At the same time, they pass when JIT is disabled in libpcre2. Therefore, it is entirely possible that it's a problem with libpcre2 and not quassel.

#6 Updated by digitalcircuit almost 6 years ago

Thank you for digging deeper into this issue! I've brought this up with Sput in Freenode/#quassel as well.

If it turns out this is a system library issue, it's not great, but at least we know where to focus troubleshooting effort. I've noted issue #1507 as well.

Additional context on why it's an issue now:
Quassel 0.13 switched over to QRegularExpression in place of QRegExp when building against Qt 5, providing significant performance improvements. QRegularExpression makes use of the libpcre2 JIT engine, while QRegExp does not.
