V21.0.0.9 - unprompted? crash
« on: September 28, 2016, 02:12:38 AM »
Linux, brief emulation.  It seems like I don't do anything, it just happens.. not sure if there's something in the background running that causes it.

Not sure if https://community.slickedit.com/index.php/topic,13759.msg54122.html is related - we have brief in common.

Code: [Select]
find ~/.slickedit/21.0.0/ -name "*crash*" returns nothing


SlickEdit Pro 2016 (v21.0.0.9 64-bit)
Build Date: September 22, 2016

I'm wondering if a core file got dropped anywhere.  If your ulimits allow them, cores get dropped in the working directory of the process.  If you had a project open, that would probably be in the root directory of the project.   (running the pwd command in the SlickEdit command line will tell you the working directory).

The other possibility for that version of Ubuntu is that apport is enabled, and handled the crash.  Take a look in /var/crash, and see if there is a file for vs_exe. 

If you find a core or crash file, upload it to http://support.slickedit.com, using 14079 as the case number.

If you can't find a core or crash, and you can get the crash to happen regularly, probably the way to get the stack trace of the crash is to run SlickEdit under gdb.   In a terminal window, run "gdb YOUR_INSTALL_DIR/bin/vs_exe".  When you get the gdb prompt, just type in run, SlickEdit should start as usual.  When the crash happens, you should be able to go back to the gdb prompt and type in "bt" to get a stack trace of the crash location, which you can post on the forum.

No stack.

Will turn on cores and see if I get anything useful.

That doesn't look like a crash, it looks like the process just called exit().  (still weird, but not something gdb would give us any info for) Was the crash behavior the same for that run or did it act differently?

Agreed.  Yes it was - it just closed on me.. in the other issue I originally referenced there was some reference to reloading plain text files.. I think I have some .lnt files that get regenerated from time to time.. could this be crashing on Windows and just exiting on Linux?

I'm not sure yet.  I can't tell if there's any relation to the post you linked either.

We can try to get a system call trace, that might lead us to where it's exiting.

From a terminal, you can start SlickEdit via strace like this: 
Code: [Select]
strace -f -o /tmp/trace.txt YOUR_INSTALL_DIR/bin/vs_exe +new
Run it till it exits on you.  /tmp/trace.txt will be fairly large, so gzip it, and then upload it on the http://support.slickedit.com page, with 14079 as the case number.  And update the post to let us know you uploaded it.
