Segmentation fault while executing an executable file

Vishal2k5 — Thu, 12 May 2011 04:10:23 GMT

I am working on HP_UX Itanium 11.31
There, I have created an executable file by compiling it with gcc 4.4.3.
When I am running that binary file error is coming :Segmentation fault (core dumped)

# file core
core:ELF-64 core file - IA64 from 'hp' - received SIGSEGV

I have tried the sample program but it is also not working at my end
I am working on HP_UX Itanium processor

Sample Code is
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include
#include
#include

/* This is the program's "main" routine. */
int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {

JavaVM *jvm; /* denotes a Java VM */
JNIEnv *env; /* pointer to native method interface */
JavaVMInitArgs vm_args;
JavaVMOption options[1];

jint res;
jclass cls;
jmethodID mid;

/* IMPORTANT: need to specify vm_args version especially if you are not using JDK1.1.
* Otherwise, will the compiler will revert to using the 'JDK1_1InitArgs' struct.
*/
vm_args.version = JNI_VERSION_1_4;

/* This option doesn't do anything, just to illustrate how to pass args to JVM. */
options[0].optionString = "-verbose:none";
vm_args.nOptions = 1;
vm_args.options = options;
vm_args.ignoreUnrecognized = JNI_FALSE;

/* load and initialize a Java VM, return a JNI interface pointer in env */
res = JNI_CreateJavaVM(&jvm,(void**)&env,&vm_args);
if (res < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can't create Java VM\n");
exit(1);
}

jclass ver;
jmethodID print;

ver = (*env)->FindClass(env, "sun/misc/Version");
if (ver == 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can't find Version");
}
print = (*env)->GetStaticMethodID(env, ver, "print", "()V");
(*env)->CallStaticVoidMethod(env, ver, print);

/* invoke the Main.test method using the JNI */
cls = (*env)->FindClass(env, "Main");
if (cls == 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can't find Main.class\n");
exit(1);
}

mid = (*env)->GetStaticMethodID(env, cls, "test", "(I)V");
if (mid==0) {
fprintf(stderr, "No such method!\n");
exit(1);
}
// otherwise execute this method
(*env)->CallStaticVoidMethod(env, cls, mid,100);

/* We are done. */
(*jvm)->DestroyJavaVM(jvm);

return 0;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is successfully compiling & generating an exe
To generate exe following script is used

JAVA_HOME=/opt/java6

INCLUDE_PATH=$JAVA_HOME/include

$JAVA_HOME/bin/javac Main.java

#Compile the invoker .c file

public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Argument: " + args[0]);
}

public static void test(int arg)
{
System.out.println("Test Argument: " + arg);
}
}

Can u pleas help me out in finding the solution

Re: Segmentation fault while executing an executable file

Laurent Menase — Thu, 12 May 2011 04:59:57 GMT

What about -mt option on compilation line?

Re: Segmentation fault while executing an executable file

Laurent Menase — Thu, 12 May 2011 05:00:34 GMT

forget it, since we see libpthread.so in the ldd output

Hi Laurent,

#0 0x9fffffffed949cd0:0 in ENTER_PTHREAD_LIBRARY_FUNC+0x50

#2 0x9fffffffee9367e0:0 in os::active_processor_count

This indicates the stack is so corrupted that libpthread aborts.

You probably need to contact the Response Center for help with your java JNI.

> Laurent: What about -mt option on compilation line?

Yes, that or the gcc equivalent may help.

Do you read Japanese ?
I found a similar quuestion :

http://www.atmarkit.co.jp/bbs/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=45298&forum=12

looks like it was solved by adding -lpthread

so add -mt ot -lpthread, it may help

Denis,
Can u please tell me what does it mean "stack is so corrupted"
I am not from assembly background. I am new on HP-UX as well. This code is working on all other OS (32 as well as 64bit) including HP_UX PA_RISC2.0,AIX Solaris, Windows, linux

Hi Laurent Menase,

Thanks a ton. It worked.

While compiling with gcc, setting -lpthread parameter solved the problem

Thanks again

This is not so helpful unless you have the instructions around PC to go with it:
