bug#58066: pretty-print will make data modified by set-cdr! to random value

2022-09-25 Thread slbtty
GNU Guile 3.0.8

Using `guile3 < file.scm` to run the code below will makes the result
of tp unpredictable (pointing to very random things)

(use-modules (ice-9 pretty-print))
(define tl '(1 2))
(define tp (cdr tl))
(set-cdr! tp (cons 3 '()))
  (pretty-print tl)
  (pretty-print tp)
---

However, if i use plain old (display tp), the code will out put
expected valve (1 2 3) (3)
(define tl '(1 2))
(define tp (cdr tl))
(set-cdr! tp (cons 3 '()))
  (display tl) (newline)
  (display tp) (newline)

---

Context:

I am using guile3's repl and whenever i access a variable's by typing
its name after (set-cdr!), the result will goes wild.





bug#58068: pretty-print corrupts data modified by set-cdr!

I am not sure about the set-cdr! and quote usage. However, i runned
the same code in other schemes, mit, chicken, racket/r6rs, gambit, and
they all yield tl as (1 2 3).

(use-modules (ice-9 pretty-print))
(define tl '(1 2))
(define tp (cdr tl))
(set-cdr! tp (cons 3 '()))
  (pretty-print tl)
  (pretty-print tp)

Interesting. It looks like scm_is_mutable_pair is broken? It's
defined (in pairs.h) as

static inline int
scm_is_mutable_pair (SCM x)
{
  /* Guile embeds literal pairs into compiled object files.  It's not
 valid Scheme to mutate literal values.  Two practical reasons to
 enforce this restriction are to allow literals to share share
 structure (pairs) with other literals in the compilation unit, and
 to allow literals containing immediates to be allocated in the
 read-only, shareable section of the file.  Attempting to mutate a
 pair in the read-only section would cause a segmentation fault, so
 to avoid that, we really do need to enforce the restriction. */
  return scm_is_pair (x) && GC_is_heap_ptr (SCM2PTR (x));
}


I don't know why that breaks or how to fix it, though.

As you can read from the comment, this code is actually
invalid Scheme, since it mutates literal data. However,
it is true that Guile should raise an error for this,
not segfault (which is what it does for me) or start
printing random things.

If you define tl as (list 1 2 3) instead of '(1 2 3),
everything will be fine.
