CoqIDE (>= 8.13) crashes when opening preferences (platform-specific) #15486

Blaisorblade · 2022-01-15T00:37:46Z

Noticed in ocaml/opam-repository#20456.
To reproduce, install coqide, go to Edit -> Preferences. Clearing ~/.config/coq doesn't seem to make a difference.

Version:
CoqIDE 8.15, but also 8.13 and 8.14 from the respective platforms (__coq-platform.2021.11.0~8.13~2021.11 and __coq-platform.2021.11.0~8.14~2021.11).

Platform:

The bug is present on MacOS 12.1 Monterey on Mac M1 Max, and presumably absent on older MacOS releases (I think 10.15): I had confirmed CoqIDE 8.13 and 8.14 worked fine on that older OS.
EDIT: I also confirmed the bug on Mac OS 11 Big Sur on an Intel processor — so this seems to start on MacOS 11.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

silene · 2022-01-15T08:06:40Z

This does not look like a Coq bug. Is it specific to Coqide 8.15 or can you reproduce it with 8.14 too?

davidnowak · 2022-02-07T09:09:43Z

Same bug here with macOS Big Sur 11.6.3 (Intel), OCaml 4.11.2 or 4.12.1, CoqIDE 8.15.0.
I tried the same workaround as in #14352 (i.e. downgrading OCaml to version 4.11.2) but it did not make any difference here.

Zimmi48 · 2022-02-10T12:45:24Z

This seems to be the same bug that was reported yesterday in the platform repo (cc @MSoegtropIMC): coq/platform#217

orilahav · 2022-02-17T08:51:13Z

Same bug here on a fresh installation macOS 12.2.1 (ARM), CoqIDE 8.15.0.
Any workaround for the time being?

silene · 2022-02-17T09:08:06Z

Depending on whether the bug is in GTK or in Quartz/MacOS, the following might succeed:

broadwayd &
sleep 1
firefox http://localhost:8080/ # or chrome or ...
export GDK_BACKEND=broadway
coqide &

This will open Coqide inside your browser, thus side-stepping a lot of code in GTK, Quartz, and MacOS. (But be aware that this is hardly tested.)

Blaisorblade · 2022-02-17T11:19:31Z

No easy broadwayd on mac AFAICT... at least brew install gtk+3 doesn't give me that and neither homebrew nor google seem to know about a way... (Other than maybe compiling from source.)

MSoegtropIMC · 2022-02-17T12:12:07Z

@Blaisorblade : in case you can reproduce the issue, how about looking at it with ocamldebug?

Btw.: it might also be useful to check if this is a Homebrew vs. Macports issue. I am using Macports and I don't see the issue (at least not for compiled from sources CoqIDE - I see it with (otherwise identical) installed CoqIDE).

Blaisorblade · 2022-02-17T12:40:29Z

I just tried, but I'm stuck here:

$ rlwrap dune exec -- dev/dune-dbg coqide /tmp/foo.v
        OCaml Debugger version 4.14.0~alpha2

(ocd) run
Loading program... Fatal error: cannot load shared library dllcoqide_gui_stubs
Reason: dlopen(dllcoqide_gui_stubs.so, 0x000A): tried: 'dllcoqide_gui_stubs.so' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/dllcoqide_gui_stubs.so' (no such file), '/usr/lib/dllcoqide_gui_stubs.so' (no such file), '/Users/pgiarrusso1/git-bedrock/coq/dllcoqide_gui_stubs.so' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/dllcoqide_gui_stubs.so' (no such file), '/usr/lib/dllcoqide_gui_stubs.so' (no such file)
(ocd)

I'll try asking in the CoqWG.

EDIT: I tried extending (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH or patching dev/dune-dbg to pass extra args to ocamlfind, but had success with neither :-|

MSoegtropIMC · 2022-02-17T12:56:36Z

I am afraid I can't help here - I did pretty deep debugging of CoqIDE a few years back - including mixed C and OCaml debugging and debugging of coqidetop, but that was before dune ...

Same bug here on a fresh installation macOS 12.2.1 (ARM), CoqIDE 8.15.0.

MSoegtropIMC · 2022-03-26T13:18:01Z

@Blaisorblade : I recently had issues with labgtk3.3.1.1 on BigSur (see #15857) - which went away by switching to lablgtk3.3.1.2. Can you verify if this helps you?

Blaisorblade · 2022-03-27T18:45:20Z

I already had lablgtk3.3.1.2 — with this gtk+3:

$ brew info gtk+3
gtk+3: stable 3.24.33 (bottled)
Toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces

since you use MacPorts and I use Homebrew, I wonder whether that's a factor, but installing both to try is probably going to be tricky...

@davidnowak @orilahav do you use Homebrew or MacPorts?

MSoegtropIMC · 2022-03-27T19:02:50Z

I can test it on a VM.

davidnowak · 2022-03-28T06:38:30Z

@Blaisorblade I use homebrew.
@MSoegtropIMC lablgtk3 3.1.2 solved the issue #14352 (by the way, someone should close it), but not this one.

orilahav · 2022-06-12T13:33:08Z

Hi, any idea how to address this? Estimate on which version?
(I'll introduce Coq using CoqIDE in my course in the coming semester, and this bug doesn't give a good impression :()

Alizter · 2022-06-12T15:04:57Z

@orilahav Unfortunately developers willing to spend time on CoqIDE are in short supply, let alone ones who can test on MacOS. I would like to make progress with this, but I don't know how to test on MacOS.

Have you tried VSCoq?

https://github.com/coq-community/vscoq

If your goal is to introduce Coq to students, you can point them to CoqIDE, VSCoq if that doesn't work and also mention Proof General for emacs and I believe there is Vim support also.

amosunov · 2022-06-15T18:18:06Z

The solution that I found was just to download an older release. For me 8.15 was not working on MacOS Monterey and the release 8.13.0 worked just fine:

https://github.com/coq/coq/releases

Alizter · 2022-06-15T22:13:40Z

FTR it was discussed today in the working group. We will spend some time in the near future, making sure that we are compatible with M1 and M2 architectures. We would ideally like to be able to reproduce this issue reliably, and for that having M1 workers would be ideal. Unfortunately, this is not something GitHub ships by default, so perhaps an INRIA aided solution will be explored.

orilahav · 2022-06-15T22:55:26Z

Thank you. Happy to assist with testing or anything within my capability.

orilahav · 2022-06-17T00:48:55Z

running coqide -debug I can see an error msg before the segmentation fault:
Coqide internal error: file ../gtk/gtkcssenumvalue.c: line 529 (_gtk_css_font_weight_value_new): should not be reached

Alizter · 2022-06-17T11:14:06Z

This could be a style error, and not related to M1 then. Since it is happening on Intel Macs. I couldn't find anything about GTK failing on M1 on Google. @jfehrle what do you think?

jfehrle · 2022-06-17T19:15:28Z

See if you have the $XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable set, and if so, clear it and try CoqIDE again. See #16211. Or (less likely) maybe the data it points to has gotten corrupted.

orilahav · 2022-06-17T20:43:49Z

In my case this variable It is not set.

MollyDream · 2022-06-22T23:23:52Z

Just to add a data point: I have the same problem with CoqIDE 8.13.2 on MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 with Intel chips, with the same error message before exiting:
Coqide internal error: file ../gtk/gtkcssenumvalue.c: line 529 ( gtk css_font weight_value new): should not be reached

herbelin · 2022-10-16T19:28:47Z

Copying the conclusion of #16136: due to a bug introduced in pango 1.49.4 and fixed in pango development branch.

Blaisorblade · 2022-10-16T20:51:08Z

Closing as duplicate of #16136.

Blaisorblade · 2022-10-16T20:52:02Z

And I should have clarified this is, indeed, fixed (#16136).
