Recent nightly shows no info in backtraces

[estebank]

Every since a recent nightly update, both distributed nightlies and locally built rustc produce backtraces where every level of the stack is represented only by their memory address and the label <unknown>:

$ RUST_BACKTRACE=full rustc +devel file.rs -Ztreat-err-as-bug

Sadly I don't have a more specific repro case, but I can consistently reproduce locally. Older distributed nightlies do not present this behavior.

[varkor]

This happens consistently for me as well (also macOS).

[Manishearth]

I've been seeing this on Linux too, though it's been at least a week. (It also may have been fixed in a rustc newer than the one servo uses)

[varkor]

We should have tests for backtraces, so they don't regress again in the future.

[estebank]

@Manishearth this is certainly happening on master, and it's been happening for a while, but I assumed it was my env.

[estebank]

It just occurred to me that this might be related to the new symbol mangling #57967 (although I doubt it).

[wesleywiser]

I've been experiencing this for about a week now (also on macOS). It definitely started prior to #57967 being merged.

I also have the following in my config.toml:

# Debuginfo level for most of Rust code, corresponds to the `-C debuginfo=N` option of `rustc`.
# `0` - no debug info
# `1` - line tables only
# `2` - full debug info with variable and type information
# Can be overriden for specific subsets of Rust code (rustc, std or tools).
# Debuginfo for tests run with compiletest is not controlled by this option
# and needs to be enabled separately with `debuginfo-level-tests`.
debuginfo-level = 2

# Debuginfo level for the compiler.
debuginfo-level-rustc = 2

# Debuginfo level for the standard library.
debuginfo-level-std = 2

# Debuginfo level for the tools.
debuginfo-level-tools = 2

#57967 has absolutely no changes if you don't use the -Z flag, so it's not from there.

[ehuss]

It's definitely #60852, I tried before and after. It works if you enable the "coresymbolication" feature, though that's obviously not an option for distribution. I tried the latest master of backtrace, but it didn't help.

[alexcrichton]

To confirm, is everyone only experiencing problems on OSX for rustc itself? Are there problems with other projects on OSX? @Manishearth can you please confirm or deny your experience from Linux? Throwing in a new platform here changes this quite a lot

[alexcrichton]

Ok I believe I've found the issue for OSX, but if other platforms are still an issue that would be good to know

[ehuss]

I've only experienced this with rustc itself on OSX. Things it builds seem ok, and linux/windows seem to be ok.

[Manishearth]

No, it's still happening on Linux as of yesterday (I can try again today). I also assumed it was my env.

[Manishearth]

I think the Linux issue is separate since it's been happening much longer than the OSX one

[udoprog]

Hey, this seems to an issue on nightly for Windows (msvc) as well:

This uses backtrace 0.3.26 via failure:

2019-06-03T19:14:21.538096500+02:00 ERROR setmod_bot - stack backtrace:

 108: BaseThreadInitThunk (0x7ff8c1f97974)
 109: RtlUserThreadStart (0x7ff8c4c1a271)

[alexcrichton]

@udoprog if that's only using the backtrace crate and not using libstd, can you open an issue on the repository?

The OSX issue should be fixed in rust-lang/backtrace-rs#196, which I'd like to finish testing and then I'll send an update to libstd.

That could affect Linux as well but I doubt it, so if there are persisting Linux/Windows issues please feel free to let me know. If you can create an isolated problem which uses the backtrace crate rather than libstd that's even better!

[udoprog]

Done: rust-lang/backtrace-rs#197
