I’ve seen this come up in several bugs recently, and it’s time to disseminate some knowledge. Here is what an unexpected crash usually looks like:<\/p>\n
You’re looking at a test harness timeout because of a crash. Simple, easy to recognize. Even shows the crashing test for you!<\/p>\n Here’s a sly one. This is a crash, but the lack of a test name and the “Main app process exited normally” actually means that a subprocess crashed intentionally. We’ve got tests that run scripts that cause crashes in child processes so that we can test the recovery behaviour in the parent, but unfortunately we display that information very well right now.<\/p>\n If you’re in doubt as to what kind of crash you’re seeing in the log, there’s another heuristic you can apply by looking at the crashing stack:<\/p>\n Thread 0 (crashed) This is an intentional crash. We use jsctypes to dereference 0x8, an invalid address, and this is what it looks like every single time. If you don’t see this stack, you’re looking at a crash that should be filed.<\/p>\n So, to summarize: not every crash is unexpected. Keep your wits about you; know your crash stacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve seen this come up in several bugs recently, and it’s time to disseminate some knowledge.
