This program (pycryptopp) segfaults when compiled on Rawhide, but not on
several other platforms. I've reported the issue on the gcc tracker,
here: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52236 The issue was
originally noticed in the pycryptopp project, here: https://tahoe-
lafs.org/trac/pycryptopp/ticket/80 The pycryptopp buildbot reliably
reproduces the segfault on Rawhide and the lack of segfault on several
other systems.

I opened a ticket on launchpad.net with which to track the progress of
this issue across multiple other issue trackers: pycryptopp, GCC,
Fedora, and possibly DJB's "nacl" crypto library if there is any way to
track such issues other than emailing the author.

You've filed lots of bugreports, but haven't provided easy steps how to
reproduce, what exactly when built with gcc 4.7 fails, what (if possible
minimal) command to reproduce it.

By the way, I don't know for sure that this is a bug in
gcc-4.7.0-prerelease. It could also be a bug in our code which is
uncovered by a recent change in gcc, for example. I do know that the
same segfault doesn't happen on the other buildbots, none of which have
gcc >= 4.7.0-prerelease.

I can explain how to reproduce it, but I can't conveniently generate a
minimal case, since I don't currently have access to system (e.g.
Rawhide) with gcc-4.7.0-prerelease on.

To reproduce (not minimally):

git checkout git://github.com/tahoe-lafs/pycryptopp.git
cd pycryptopp
git reset --hard 36a666d4514e21a71c934bcfc62438b8bab97f32

# Note that an equivalent git checkout is done automatically by the
buildbot. The exact command-line, environment, and stdout+stderr are
logged, e.g. here: https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-
pycryptopp/builders/Ruben%20Fedora/builds/49/steps/git/logs/stdio

python setup.py build --test-double-load

# This builds the C and C++ modules. I would assume that the option
--test-double-load to the command-line is irrelevant to this bug (it
causes another module to be built which isn't used by the program which
segfaults). Here's a log of the buildbot executing this step and the
resulting output: https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-
pycryptopp/builders/Ruben%20Fedora/builds/49/steps/compile/logs/stdio

valgrind --error-exitcode=1 --log-file=valgrind.log.txt
--suppressions=misc/coding_helpers/python.supp --gen-suppressions=all
python setup.py test

# This runs the pycryptopp unit tests, which trigger the segfault. Here's a log 
of the command-line, env var, and stdout+stderr of buildbot executing this 
step: 
https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-pycryptopp/builders/Ruben%20Fedora/builds/49/steps/test%20valgrind/logs/stdio
# Here's the valgrind log file that results from that command-line as executed 
by the buildbot: 
https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-pycryptopp/builders/Ruben%20Fedora/builds/49/steps/test%20valgrind/logs/valgrind

# By the way, here is some information about the system on which that buildbot 
test runs:
# 
https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-pycryptopp/buildslaves/buildbot.rubenkerkhof.com
# 
https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-pycryptopp/builders/Ruben%20Fedora/builds/49/steps/show-tool-versions/logs/stdio

If I were going to minimize this, I would start by looking at the Python
unit test which reliably executes, the bug:
pycryptopp.test.test_ed25519.Basic.test_OOP . First I would run that
test alone and not the other tests, by changing "python setup.py test"
to "python setup.py test -s
pycryptopp.test.test_ed25519.Basic.test_OOP", just to be sure the other
tests running doesn't change the behavior. If it doesn't, then I would
add some debug print statements in the source code of test_OOP:
https://github.com/tahoe-
lafs/pycryptopp/blob/36a666d4514e21a71c934bcfc62438b8bab97f32/pycryptopp/test/test_ed25519.py#L124
to see which of its calls to ed25519, and with what arguments, triggers
the segfault. Then I would write equivalent C code and see if that
triggers the segfault.
