Julia 0.3.0-prerelease on XP x32 can't start

[stanpetit]

Hello everybody.
I must be crazy to keep on trying to run cutting-edge open-source software on my old (but quite stable...) XP laptop !

Version : julia-0.3.0-prerelease-8f1fbec-win32
"C:\Julia 0.3.0-prerelease\bin>julia" just crashes without a sigh ...

Here is the console outputs in test mode :
C:\Julia 0.3.0-prerelease\bin>test-julia.bat
fatal error during bootstrap:
(arg-error "table: arguments must come in pairs")
fatal error loading system image

You are doing a really great work !
Best regards, Stan.

[Keno]

Did you download the binary? If so I'm not sure it supports xp and you might have more luck building from source.

[stanpetit]

Hi Keno.
From
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/README.windows.md#binary-distribution
the release seems to run ...

I would try to build myself if
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/README.windows.md#supported-build-platforms
wouldn't tell me I can't !

If you tell me it's not a loss of time (and calm), I will do so.

Thanks for the prompt answer!

[Keno]

We'll have to wait for an assessment from @vtjnash then. He'd know.

[stanpetit]

Great, thanks.

[vtjnash]

The binaries should work on xp, if you delete usr/lib/sys.dll, does it work? I'll test on my xp machine tonight

[stanpetit]

HI @vtjnash !

delete usr/lib/sys.dll

Julia is at "C:\Julia 0.3.0-prerelease", and there is no such directory there, neither a "sys.dll" file in my whole file system !

[vtjnash]

Thanks. I forgot that file is not included in the installer

[stanpetit]

What about @Keno 's suggestion and the chances of building on my own ?

[vtjnash]

I would try running julia-debug first (perhaps in windbg or gdb). Building from source would allow testing changes, but the actual resulting binary would be the same

[ihnorton]

@stanpetit do you have an old .julia_history file in your home directory?

[goszlanyi]

I am on 32-bit Vista and experiencing the same binary crash.

I also suspect that the problem is related to the new command history format.
Deleting .julia_history did not help
but the REPL could start without crash using the --no-history-file switch.

[stanpetit]

@ihnorton : I first have uninstalled Julia and deleted "user\Application Data\Julia" , then reinstalled.
The user folder was recreated.
(julia-0.2.1-win32 is creating this folder as "user.julia" am I right ?)

[stanpetit]

@GaborOszlanyi : I hope that old Win32 XP will keep on being of any interest for the dev team !

[stanpetit]

@ihnorton Hi Isaiah.

the REPL could start without crash using the --no-history-file switch

Crashes the same for me.
I tried to do some debug with an old stuff I used long ago : Ollydbg.
If I run Julia into it, I receive this as FPU registers :

That's all folks !

[goszlanyi]

Sorry to hear that,
so we have two independent problems of the same binary.

[ihnorton]

32-bit binaries are fine on Windows 7, but I can reproduce @stanpetit error in XP mode under Win virtual PC. This goes back to at least e1468d5, which is the oldest binary we have saved on AWS. Unfortunately I couldn't get windbg installed but I will have another look tonight.

[vtjnash]

Does 0.2.1 work?

[ihnorton]

Yes. The error message seems to be flisp-related, and I wonder if it is due to this or one of the other recent Unicode commits to flisp.

[stanpetit]

@vtjnash : it works but kernel repeatedly crashes under iJulia... I didn't check Anaconda and iPython's versions but it is less than a 4 month back release.

@ihnorton : I will get windbg and have a trial (even if I am a dummy at that game).
Look at the last line of my log : couldn't it be some access locked by my Avast (poor-man's-AV) ?

[stanpetit]

@ihnorton : Got the "X86 Debuggers And Tools".
These are the last lines of windbg Command window.
Hope it helps.

[ihnorton]

@vtjnash oddly enough, julia-debug works just fine under windbg or otherwise.

[stanpetit]

Let's play julia-debug then...
I wonder if can be depending on how Windows handles networking security policies differently threw versions : process halts on an access to `wshtcpip.dll`` ... code runs OK under your win7 for , not under XP ... it could have sense.

[vtjnash]

gah, as I feared, it works on my XP box :(

[ihnorton]

which SP?

[stanpetit]

@ihnorton : SP3

[vtjnash]

aha, on an x32 VM (on the same machine) it doesn't work!

[stanpetit]

Can you (or I ) do something out of this ?

[tkelman]

I can reproduce this too. I don't have a working source build on an old XP machine, but I do have a binary from May 3rd that does work. I'll download a few more of the archived versions to see if we can narrow down when it broke.

[stanpetit]

Would you give a link to that release ? I would give a trail.

[tkelman]

Browse through http://s3.amazonaws.com/julianightlies, search for win32

5/22 at 570b2bd works
5/27 at b57777f does not
6/03 at 1769118 does not
6/11 at 10f5754 does not

[stanpetit]

Must be that one

[tkelman]

Just add the bin/winnt/... part after julianightlies/

[stanpetit]

Great !

[stanpetit]

Would two versions be in conflict, side by side ?

[tkelman]

Not sure what you mean. If you install to a different location, there won't be any conflict.

This appears to have been caused by something between 5/22 and 5/27, within this range of ~70 commits 570b2bd...b57777f

[vtjnash]

I suspect f0a98b3, since this error occurs before we have loaded any Julia code, only changes to src would matter

[tkelman]

Yeah, does look to be in the parser, perhaps unicode-related?

[jakebolewski]

Another instance of #5712?

[JeffBezanson]

Sorry wrong issue number in commit.

[vtjnash]

@JeffBezanson does the following backtrace mean anything to you?

Makefile:65: recipe for target 'julia_flisp.boot' failed
make: *** [julia_flisp.b

[vtjnash]

notice that exactly one operator is corrupted: ▒ instead of ÷, remove it and it works

edit: note, it also works when run from the flisp prompt

[tkelman]

Is there a slightly different code point for that same operator that might work on XP? Or do we have unicode division symbol and Windows XP fight it out over which is more important? There's now a @windowsxp_only macro in Julia, but that's not usable in flisp right?

[stanpetit]

@vtjnash : https://gist.github.com/vtjnash/5623346 is meaningful.

Could you post the hex codes ?
It would also be interesting to know what UTF font set you are using.

And then watch this :
julia-0.3.0-prerelease-a9da7b4-win32 : fails on WinXPSP3 #198

[stanpetit]

$ make julia_flisp.boot
FLISP src/julia_flisp.boot
string.char: index -1 out of bounds for "\xb7"
in file julia-parser.scm
in file jlfrontend.scm
in file ./mk_julia_flisp_boot.scm

and precisely : string.char: index -1 out of bounds for "\xb7" :
OllyDdg gives a complete memory dump, where I can see it in the stack.
Would you like to have a look ?

[stanpetit]

@vtjnash : Sorry, I have posted julia-0.3.0-prerelease-a9da7b4-win32 : fails on WinXPSP3 in the wrong forum by mistake.

[vtjnash]

@JeffBezanson this is failing because (int)226 != (int)(char)226 (on platforms where char is signed), so isspace(226) != isspace((char)226), as flisp/read.c assumes (also support/strtod.c, builtins.c, and ccall.c). This triggers undefined behavior in isspace. Apparently, that behavior on Windows XP was to return true for invalid characters (where 226 is the utf8 start character).

(edit: there's also the issue that these functions are locale-dependant, and it's unlikely that we want parsing to be dependant upon the user locale settings)

[JeffBezanson]

Wow great detective work. Let's fix these.

[tkelman]

@stanpetit Check http://status.julialang.org/ sometime tomorrow, if it says the "win32 nightly last built" more recently than the closing time of this issue, Julia should work on XP again.
