[stable regression] #[should_panic] tests segfault in certain OS X configurations with 1.44.0

[froydnj]

We are seeing some sccache #[should_panic] tests segfault on TravisCI when using Rust 1.44.0, when those same tests succeed with Rust 1.43.1 (e.g. here -- note that the OS X DEPLOY=1 build does not run tests). The tests in question are these:

https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/blob/e57788095488944d05df2ea92d12ade319b05822/src/compiler/args.rs#L1036-L1105

With 1.43.1, the tests run like so:

With 1.44.0, the tests segfault:

Caused by:

  process didn't exit successfully: `/Users/travis/build/mozilla/sccache/target/debug/deps/sccache-720cb5bbc0e667a6` (signal: 11, SIGSEGV: invalid memory reference)

The same tests do timeout occasionally (e.g. in this run), rather than segfaulting.

I have retried jobs several different times in TravisCI with what appear to be different workers -- I get different hostnames and instances, which I assume are physically different machines -- so I think some sort of machine problem (e.g. bad memory) has been ruled out.

I think this failure is potentially specific to the OS X version that TravisCI is running; I cannot reproduce the failures on my Mac (OS X 10.12.3). TravisCI reports using:

Runtime kernel version: 17.7.0
...
ProductName:	Mac OS X
ProductVersion:	10.13.6
BuildVersion:	17G65

You may be able to reproduce by:

1. git clone https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/
2. cd sccache
3. RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo +1.44.0 test --all --verbose --features="all"

I do not understand why, but cargo test --all --verbose --no-default-features features="" does seem to work.

[ehuss]

I'm able to repro. I'm also getting other random corruption (like malloc: Incorrect checksum for freed object or mpsc going into an infinite loop). The backtrace is:

It doesn't seem to repro in 1.45 (currently beta). Without digging further, I would strongly suspect this is fixed by rust-lang/libbacktrace@5c88e09 (via #71577). rust-lang/backtrace-rs#310 has more details, which look exactly the same (crash in macho_add).

[ehuss]

Note to triage/release: backtraces are somewhat broken in 1.44 on macos for other reasons. We just merged a fix at rust-lang/cargo#8329 (see #72550), and I plan to backport that to 1.45. If you decide this is worthy of a point release, that might be another element of consideration.

[Mark-Simulacrum]

I think backtraces being broken is sufficiently annoying that I'd be personally in favor of a point release. It probably makes sense to not rush it out the door immediately, but maybe aiming for say Tuesday-ish in ~2 weeks (i.e. not next) makes sense? -- cc @rust-lang/release

[jonas-schievink]

Yes, that sounds reasonable.

[pietroalbini]

Sounds good.

[spastorino]

Assigning P-high as discussed as part of the Prioritization Working Group process and removing I-prioritize.

[m-ou-se]

It seems like this has been fixed. @froydnj Is this still an issue?

AFAIK, this has been fixed.
