digitalmars.D.learn - Tracing down core.exception.InvalidMemoryOperationError

- Martin Drasar via Digitalmars-d-learn (10/20) Jul 28 2014 Hi,
Hi, at the end of my program it throws InvalidMemoryOperationError. Looking at the documentation and past forum questions I learned that it is probably because of allocations in destructors. However, I have no such thing in my code (at least not intentionally). I am suspecting the std.logger package, because it throwed on me a memory error on occasions. But regardless of the source, I would like to trace it and deal with it. But I do not have much of an idea where to start. Could you give me an advice? Thanks, Drasha

Could you give me an advice?More broadly speaking, it is thrown whenever certain memory operations are attempted while the GC is running, 6 in all, as you can see here: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/blob/master/src/gc/gc.d#L458 I believe I stuck in printfs till I found out which one was run before the error was thrown, and then traced that back with more printfs to where it was getting called. I didn't have a debugger available, you may be able to trace faster with one.

However, I don't really know where and how to start. I would like to break at core/exception.d when onInvalidMemoryOperationError is called, but I am not sure how to build druntime with debug information. There does not seem to be some flag in the makefile like for dmd. Is there some document describing how to do this? Thanks, Drasha

I have had similar problems in the past because I was trying to print a string in a destructor, and even just using the string concatenation is enough for an allocation to happen and for the exception to ruin everything. As a bonus, the exception is thrown from another thread :P In fact, now that we have nogc I really think we could use *at least a warning* if the compiler determines that allocation might happen inside a destructor... (btw: a debug strategy might be: fire up dmd beta 2.066, add nogc at all destructors and see where the compiler complains)On 28.7.2014 14:09, Joakim via Digitalmars-d-learn wrote:It's not in the makefile; I simply added the -g or -gc flag where it compiled and then the debug symbols showed up in the debugger.
