Random application crash on Apple Silicon M1 (Qt 6.2.3)
-
@DerReisende said in Random application crash on Apple Silicon M1 (Qt 6.2.3):
What about using move semantics (std::move)? You should be able to move your RadioControlEvent in there and later move it out of the queue. But it would then require a move constructor.
Yes, but this implies Qt6, so far I am able to build my app for both Qt5 and Qt6 but maybe it is time to move forward.
@artwaw You are probably right, I need really light and fast solution, it is of course no problem to run the application on M1 but the target is to be able to run it on RPi2.
@KejPi QList and QQueue are lightweight, at least claim to be in the documentation. I never had memory problems on raspi, then again I never did anything that would strain the resources on raspi2.
Having said that I trust there more experienced persons in this thread that would be able to judge if QList/Queue is the way to go in terms of usability or not.

@artwaw QList is reentrant but not thread-safe. At least it is not mentioned in the docs and there are several questions over at stackoverflow.
@DerReisende It is confusing, I agree, however I considered the documentation before posting (and asking if someone knows better, I also wrote "to some extent" as I am not certain myself):
- QQueue is based on QList;
- documentation to the class links to the chapter about Qt's container classes https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/containers.html where we have:
they are thread-safe in situations where they are used as read-only containers by all threads used to access them.- in the sentence above there is a link to threat-safe https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/threads-reentrancy.html which doesn't shed much lite on this particular class.
So I don't know. My limited experience with background thread passing data to QQueue in the main thread did not seem to fail.

I was finally able to build all libs for x64_64 and thus I can build my app for x86_64. It seems not to crash but there are few other observations that might be related:
- it seems that crashes are more frequent when I start my Mac after some time and the they are less and less happening (I know that this sounds very strange but it is my observation from today and also yesterday). So far it seems to be fully random and I still do not know what to do to make it crash.
- When I start my laptop today and started the app it was crashing almost immediately. I am running it with thread sanitizer and the crash happened even before any message about data race appeared. At the moment I am running the app for >10minutes without crash.
- x86_64 does not seem to crash, no crash observed so far but it could be related to previous point
- my feeling (only a feeling) is that it crashes more frequently when the application get focus or when I move mouse over it etc. However intensive interaction with UI (fast clicking on GUI elements) does not seem to cause crash.
EDIT: I have fixed all reported data race cases using message queue 2 days ago and today when I started my Mac it was again crashing almost immediately. After some time it is crashing less frequently. This is absolutely crazy, I do not understand it at all :-( I will try x86_64 build tomorrow but for the moment I do not know what else to do.

I am having the exact same random crash symptoms with the same stack trace you reported earlier on my M1 MacBook Pro on my completely unrelated application: https://github.com/sultanqasim/cinemavi/tree/master/CMGui

I wasn't getting this crash on Mac OS 12.2.1 and earlier, but I just upgraded to Mac OS 12.3 today, and I've been getting this crash ever since then. My application was rock solid stable before today's upgrade, but is unusable due to the frequency of this particular crash now.

Also, for reference, I have no issues with AddressSanitizer or ThreadSanitizer, and UBSan gives the same warnings as the OP had, such as:

Ok, seems like a potential bug with the latest macOS on M1 arch,
have you guys tried and reproduced it with a minimal example?

This is very interesting observation. Unfortunately I have upgraded my new Mac immediately after getting it so I did not try with macOS < 12.3.

I am afraid it would be difficult. My feeling is that it happens in more complex multi-thread applications. I will continue my investigations, I already have some more ideas what to try and in case I find something I will for sure report is here.
-
Interestingly, I'm unable to reproduce my crash today. It was consistently crashing within a couple minutes or sometimes less yesterday for me, but it hasn't crashed even once for me today. This sounds like it'll be a tricky bug to diagnose.
EDIT: I just rebooted my computer, and now it crashes all the time again. For reference, I hadn't rebooted in over a month before yesterday's update to MacOS 12.3. Maybe these crashes are unrelated to MacOS 12.3, and just related to how long it has been since the computer was last rebooted. Bizarre nevertheless. I'll see if I can make a minimal application crash with this when I have time.

I have some observations to share. My app uses several libs installed by homebrew, specifically:
- libmpg123
- faad2
- portaudio
- librtlsdr that uses libusb to access RTL-SDR USB stick
If I build all these by myself and link my application with them it seems that it is no longer crashing. My suspicion would be libusb. I am trying to run the app with only librtlsdr + libusb from my own build and so far it seems to work or it is significantly less frequent. I need to test it more but it looks promising.
@sultan : Does your application use any of these libs, especially libusb?
EDIT: it just crashed :-( I will try with all libs from my local build that was working fine yesterday.
EDIT2: application does not crash when linked will above listed libs built locally on my Mac and not taken from Homebrew. I have tried to isolate the problem to single library with no success so far. I will continue my investigations and try to find more information. -

@KejPi My application uses libaravis from homebrew, which depends on libusb (also from homebrew).
-
@sultan Could you please try to build both libs locally and link your application with them? Since I did that for all my libs, I do not have problems with crashes but it seems that all have to be built locally - I do not understand it at all :-(
-
I'm seeing this exact crash with all libraries locally built, none of the libraries listed here and built on Gtk (yes, I'm in the wrong forum :). So I think this is likely a MacOS bug, but I don't know for sure.

Do you have the same issue if you use a Qt version coming from the online installer rather that brew ?
-
I'm still having the same issue, same crash stack trace, on Mac OS 12.6.3 with Qt 6.4.2. I haven't yet gotten to trace my way to the root cause, though it looks like this will be a PITA to debug.
@sultan have you tried to completely remove homebrew from your system and then reinstall only the needed library for your app? I have seen a CERN ROOT framework crash that was related to a "wrong" library being somewhere in LD_LIBRARY_PATH which was causing the crashes similar to these described here.
