Subject: stack overflow with moderately complex data structures
Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2014 15:29:58 +0200
To: bug-Clone [...] rt.cpan.org, bug-Storable [...] rt.cpan.org, bug-threads [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Ralf Neubauer <ralf [...] strcmp.de>
This comes from the discussion of [rt.cpan.org #97508]: $ ulimit -s 8192 $ perl -e 'use Clone qw(clone); $t = [$t] for 1..30000; clone $t' $ perl -e 'use Clone qw(clone); $t = [$t] for 1..40000; clone $t' Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ ulimit -s 16348 $ perl -e 'use Clone qw(clone); $t = [$t] for 1..40000; clone $t' $ perl -e 'use Clone qw(clone); $t = [$t] for 1..60000; clone $t' $ perl -e 'use Clone qw(clone); $t = [$t] for 1..70000; clone $t' Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ dpkg -l perl libclone-perl | grep ii ii libclone-perl 0.36-1 amd64 module for recursively copying Perl datatypes ii perl 5.18.2-2ubuntu1 amd64 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report Language The same happens with: $ perl -e 'use threads; $t = [$t] for 1..30000; (async {})->join' Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ perl -e 'use Storable qw(dclone); $t = [$t] for 1..30000; dclone $t' Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Fixed with RURBAN/Storable-3.05_01.tar.gz Still waiting for the cpan permissions by modules@perl.org That that 3.05_01 fixes also other stack overflows which are even more critical. -- Reini Urban
