Hi again, I figured that the `chome-devtools://` part doesn't work in Chromium. Using `devtools://` instead works. However, I get a segmentation violation.
Here is the code I wrote to connect the V8 inspector: struct ServerChannel : v8_inspector::V8Inspector::Channel { private: sockpp::tcp_socket *socket_; public: ServerChannel() { } void set_socket(sockpp::tcp_socket *socket) { socket_ = socket; } private: void sendResponse(int, std::unique_ptr<v8_inspector::StringBuffer> message) override { auto v8_sv = message->string(); socket_->write_n(v8_sv.characters8(), v8_sv.length()); } void sendNotification(std::unique_ptr<v8_inspector::StringBuffer> message) override { auto v8_sv = message->string(); socket_->write_n(v8_sv.characters8(), v8_sv.length()); } void flushProtocolNotifications() override { } }; struct MyV8InspectorClient : v8_inspector::V8InspectorClient { private: sockpp::tcp_acceptor acceptor_; std::unique_ptr<ServerChannel> channel_; std::unique_ptr<v8_inspector::V8Inspector> inspector_; std::unique_ptr<v8_inspector::V8InspectorSession> session_; int16_t port_; public: MyV8InspectorClient(int16_t port, v8::Isolate *isolate) : acceptor_(port) , port_(port) { if (not acceptor_) throw std::runtime_error("failed to initalize TCP server"); channel_ = std::make_unique<ServerChannel>(); inspector_ = v8_inspector::V8Inspector::create(isolate, this); std::string state("mutable"); v8_inspector::StringView sv(reinterpret_cast<const uint8_t*>(state.c_str()), state.length()); session_ = inspector_->connect( /* contextGroupId= */ 1, /* channel= */ channel_.get(), /* state= */ sv ); } MyV8InspectorClient(const MyV8InspectorClient&) = delete; MyV8InspectorClient(MyV8InspectorClient&&) = default; ~MyV8InspectorClient() { session_.reset(); inspector_.reset(); channel_.reset(); } void onMessage(std::string_view sv) { v8_inspector::StringView msg(reinterpret_cast<const uint8_t*>(sv.data()), sv.length()); session_->dispatchProtocolMessage(msg); } void launch() { std::cout << "WebSocket based Inspector Agent started.\n" << "Open the following link in your Chrome/Chromium browser:\n\n\t" << "devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html?experiments=true&v8only=true&ws=127.0.0.1:" << port_ << '\n' << std::endl; auto socket = std::make_unique<sockpp::tcp_socket>(acceptor_.accept()); if (not *socket) throw std::runtime_error("failed to establish connection to TCP client"); channel_->set_socket(socket.get()); auto thread = std::thread([this](std::unique_ptr<sockpp::tcp_socket> socket) { uint8_t buf[512]; std::vector<uint8_t> msg; msg.reserve(512); std::size_t n; for (;;) { std::cerr << "receiving bytes..." << std::endl; while ((n = socket->read_n(buf, ARR_SIZE(buf))) > 0) msg.insert(msg.end(), buf, buf + n); // append recently read bytes to msg if (not msg.empty()) { std::cerr << "the received message is " << msg.size() << " bytes" << std::endl; std::string_view sv(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&msg[0]), msg.size()); this->onMessage(sv); msg.clear(); } std::this_thread::yield(); } }, std::move(socket)); thread.detach(); } }; It's mostly taken from your example and condensed into a single class. Instead of boost, I use sockpp for socket programming.i After creating a `v8::Isolate`, I do the following: inspector_ = std::make_unique<MyV8InspectorClient>(cdt_port, isolate_); inspector_->launch(); However, when connecting to the inspector it says "WebSocket disconnected" and the application crashes with a segmentation violation: AddressSanitizer:DEADLYSIGNAL ================================================================= ==13072==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x1d580000a838 (pc 0x561c8173e6b4 bp 0x7fff75fa6430 sp 0x7fff75fa6430 T0) ==13072==The signal is caused by a READ memory access. #0 0x561c8173e6b4 in v8::Isolate::GetHeapProfiler() ../../../../../third-party/v8/v8/src/execution/isolate.h:1059:48 #1 0x561c82d3fd77 in v8_inspector::V8HeapProfilerAgentImpl::stopTrackingHeapObjectsInternal() ../../../../../third-party/v8/v8/src/inspector/v8-heap-profiler-agent-impl.cc:316:14 #2 0x561c82d3feb9 in v8_inspector::V8HeapProfilerAgentImpl::disable() ../../../../../third-party/v8/v8/src/inspector/v8-heap-profiler-agent-impl.cc:204:3 #3 0x561c8208f095 in v8_inspector::V8InspectorSessionImpl::~V8InspectorSessionImpl() ../../../../../third-party/v8/v8/src/inspector/v8-inspector-session-impl.cc:151:24 #4 0x561c8208f33d in v8_inspector::V8InspectorSessionImpl::~V8InspectorSessionImpl() ../../../../../third-party/v8/v8/src/inspector/v8-inspector-session-impl.cc:147:51 #5 0x561c80ec9eff in std::default_delete<v8_inspector::V8InspectorSession>::operator()(v8_inspector::V8InspectorSession*) const /usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../include/c++/10.1.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:84:2 #6 0x561c80ec9d3e in std::__uniq_ptr_impl<v8_inspector::V8InspectorSession, std::default_delete<v8_inspector::V8InspectorSession> >::reset(v8_inspector::V8InspectorSession*) /usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../include/c++/10.1.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:181:4 #7 0x561c80eca183 in std::unique_ptr<v8_inspector::V8InspectorSession, std::default_delete<v8_inspector::V8InspectorSession> >::reset(v8_inspector::V8InspectorSession*) /usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../include/c++/10.1.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:455:7 #8 0x561c80ec7193 in db::v8_helper::MyV8InspectorClient::~MyV8InspectorClient() /home/immanuel/Documents/Work/PhD/mutable/mutable/build/debug/../../src/backend/V8Platform.hpp:74:18 #9 0x561c80ec723b in db::v8_helper::MyV8InspectorClient::~MyV8InspectorClient() /home/immanuel/Documents/Work/PhD/mutable/mutable/build/debug/../../src/backend/V8Platform.hpp:73:28 #10 0x561c80eb361f in std::default_delete<db::v8_helper::MyV8InspectorClient>::operator()(db::v8_helper::MyV8InspectorClient*) const /usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../include/c++/10.1.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:84:2 #11 0x561c80eaede6 in std::unique_ptr<db::v8_helper::MyV8InspectorClient, std::default_delete<db::v8_helper::MyV8InspectorClient> >::~unique_ptr() /usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../include/c++/10.1.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:360:4 #12 0x561c80ea6e97 in db::V8Platform::~V8Platform() /home/immanuel/Documents/Work/PhD/mutable/mutable/build/debug/../../src/backend/V8Platform.cpp:221:1 #13 0x561c80ea6f2b in db::V8Platform::~V8Platform() /home/immanuel/Documents/Work/PhD/mutable/mutable/build/debug/../../src/backend/V8Platform.cpp:218:1 #14 0x561c80e9ea3f in std::default_delete<db::WasmPlatform>::operator()(db::WasmPlatform*) const /usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../include/c++/10.1.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:84:2 #15 0x561c80e9e8f6 in std::unique_ptr<db::WasmPlatform, std::default_delete<db::WasmPlatform> >::~unique_ptr() /usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../include/c++/10.1.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:360:4 #16 0x561c80e8efbd in db::WasmBackend::~WasmBackend() /home/immanuel/Documents/Work/PhD/mutable/mutable/build/debug/../../src/backend/WebAssembly.hpp:110:8 #17 0x561c80e8efeb in db::WasmBackend::~WasmBackend() /home/immanuel/Documents/Work/PhD/mutable/mutable/build/debug/../../src/backend/WebAssembly.hpp:110:8 #18 0x561c80ccf1ff in std::default_delete<db::Backend>::operator()(db::Backend*) const /usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../include/c++/10.1.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:84:2 #19 0x561c80ca8b16 in std::unique_ptr<db::Backend, std::default_delete<db::Backend> >::~unique_ptr() /usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../include/c++/10.1.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:360:4 #20 0x561c80c86dd9 in process_stream(std::istream&, char const*, db::Diagnostic) /home/immanuel/Documents/Work/PhD/mutable/mutable/build/debug/../../src/shell.cpp:151:13 #21 0x561c80c9a265 in main /home/immanuel/Documents/Work/PhD/mutable/mutable/build/debug/../../src/shell.cpp:675:13 #22 0x7f6259a37001 in __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc.so.6+0x27001) #23 0x561c80ba722d in _start (/home/immanuel/Documents/Work/PhD/mutable/mutable/build/debug/bin/shell+0x117222d) AddressSanitizer can not provide additional info. SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: SEGV ../../../../../third-party/v8/v8/src/execution/isolate.h:1059:48 in v8::Isolate::GetHeapProfiler() Can you spot what's going wrong? I did not override `V8InspectorClientImpl::runMessageLoopOnPause` like you did. Is this necessary? Kind regards, Immanuel Elmi Ahmadov schrieb am Mittwoch, 19.
