Backtrace is <unknown> for dynamic library loaded through dlopen using absolute file path for rust >= 1.37.0 on OSX

[t-mw]

From Rust v1.37.0 onwards on Mac OS 10.14.6, a panic triggered in a dynamically loaded library does not produce a full stacktrace if the library was loaded by passing an absolute path to dlopen. I haven't been able to test other platforms Windows and Linux do not have the issue, see #67599 (comment) and #67599 (comment).

The project at https://github.com/t-mw/libreloading-test-rs loads a library using its absolute path by default. The loading is done by libloading which uses dlopen internally.

With Rust 1.40 and RUST_BACKTRACE=full cargo run the following output is produced (Rust 1.37 produces similar output):

...

The expected output can be seen by compiling the same code with Rust 1.36. However, this is still missing some details about line numbers, for example for reloadable::RELOAD_API::{{closure}}:

                               at src/main.rs:13
...

Ideally, the output would be the same as when a relative path name is passed to dlopen (by uncommenting https://github.com/t-mw/libreloading-test-rs/blob/master/src/main.rs#L11), which produces a complete backtrace in Rust 1.36 to 1.40. Rust 1.40 produces the following output in that case:

I get the correct backtrace when I run the repro repo (ha) for both relative and absolute paths on Linux, using rustc 1.40.0:

Perhaps an OSX issue. Give me a moment - I'll see if Windows is affected.

[jumbatm]

Backtrace is fine on Windows 10, too.

I do also appear to get a segfault after the backtrace dump, though I'm not sure that's unexpected:

...
note: Some details are omitted, run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` for a verbose backtrace.
error: process didn't exit successfully: `target\debug\libreloading-test.exe` (exit code: 0xc0000005, STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION)

[t-mw]

Thanks for checking. As an aside, I noticed that the issue hasn't been labelled while most other new issues are, I'm not sure if that means it's slipped through some cracks.

[jumbatm]

Hmm, not 100% sure -- there's quite a few open issues without labels right now, but there's also been quite a number of issues in the past that were resolved without being labelled. I feel like not having labels is more just an indication that @jonas-schievink, who seems to be the one to label most new issues, didn't happen to see it when it first was submitted.

In any case, you can use rustbot to add labels yourself, like this:
@rustbot modify labels to +O-macos, +A-runtime, +regression-from-stable-to-stable

[rustbot]

Error: Label regression-from-stable-to-stable can only be set by Rust team members

Please let @rust-lang/release know if you're having trouble with this bot.

[jumbatm]

Oof, alright. Fair enough.

@rustbot modify labels to +O-macos, +A-runtime

[t-mw]

Bisecting shows it starting with d1040fe.
