    Expected behaviour

    did not expect a crash cli help getrawtransaction indicates there is a second verbose mode = 2 ??? obviously not

    Steps to reproduce

    The log you posted says “Hardware Error”, which lead me to believe that this is a hardware error and not a software error?
  5. maflcko commented at 2:26 pm on December 2, 2023: member

    Bitcoin Core makes heavy use of CPU, RAM and disk IO. Hardware defects might only become visible when running Bitcoin Core. You might want to check your hardware for defects.

    • memtest86 to check your RAM
    • to check the CPU behaviour under load, use linpack or Prime95
    • to test your storage device use smartctl or CrystalDiskInfo

    Otherwise, if you believe this is a software error, can you try in valgrind or another debugger, to get more information about the cause?

    Are you using txindex or was the transaction in your mempool at the time of querying?

    Note that you are passing options to configure that will have no effect. --enable-glibc-back-compat no-longer exists, and will do nothing. --enable-cxx is not one of our configure options, so will also do nothing (might have been copy-pasted from a BDB configure?). I would suggest switching --prefix=xxx for CONFIG_SITE=xxx ./configure your-other-options.

    CPPFLAGS="-fPIC -O2 –param ggc-min-expand=1 –param ggc-min-heapsize=32768"

    Is this meant to be CFLAGS? Otherwise, these are compile options, but are being passed to the preprocessor.

    computer is an HP Proliant GL 380 G7 that has been up for over a year, it is very reliable and runs many other tasks. Don’t think it is a hardware issue or I would think there would be other problems as well and there are not.

    -tindex is off

    The transaction is not one in my wallet, just a random tx from the network I picked off the block explorer, I was doing some testing and picked it just to have a look at the transaction structure as reported by the daemon. In hindsight, because it was a recent tx, it must have been in the mempool.

    First attempt with “verbosity” not set and then with “verbosity” set = 1 went smoothly Blew up when “verbosity” set = 2

    So I’m guessing that in between those two requests the tx exited the mempool but the rpc command did not notice or did not check that it was not present and executed something with a missing/corrupted pointer.

    After restarting the daemon and since then including now, the rpc command correctly tells me that: “No such mempool transaction. Use -txindex or provide a block hash to enable blockchain transaction queries. Use gettransaction for wallet transactions.”

    So it looks like a software bug in “rawtransaction.cpp” or one of the calls used.

    I think there is small window in node/transaction.cpp for a slip up. Maybe my analysis misses something

    for “verbosity” = 2 in rawtransaction.cpp around line 280 we have const CTransactionRef tx = GetTransaction(blockindex, node.mempool.get(), hash, chainman.GetConsensus(), hash_block);

    however, in node/transaction.cpp around line 127 if (mempool && !block_index) { CTransactionRef ptx = mempool->get(hash); if (ptx) return ptx; } There is the opportunity to return without setting hashBlock (hash_block in rawtransaction.cpp)

    hash_block should be checked for NULLPTR prior to this I think

    when “verbosity” = 2, that allows the code to fall all the way to TxToJSON with a bad pointer in hash_block where it will not do the right thing.

    hash_block is not a pointer. If it was unset, but read, it would just be all-zero.

    After restarting the daemon and since then including now, the rpc command correctly tells me that: “No such mempool transaction. Use -txindex or provide a block hash to enable blockchain transaction queries. Use gettransaction for wallet transactions.”

    Can you try again, providing the block hash the transaction was included in, in the RPC? Ideally, running in valgrind or another debugger, to get more information about the crash, if it happens again.

    I found the issue and could reproduce it, it only happens with a pruned node. This line calls IsBlockPruned(blockindex), and if the tx is in the mempool, blockindex is a nullptr. If also m_have_pruned is true, dereferencing pblockindex->nStatus will cause a crash. Will open a fix.
