test_bitcoin: key.cpp:305: void ECC_Start(): Assertion `secp256k1_context_sign == NULL' failed. #8260

    I'm attempting to build Bitcoin 0.12.1 on Fedora 24, which includes GCC 6.1.1.

    While the code appears to build correctly, make check fails on test_bitcoin. The test-suite.log shows 85 test failures, all with this particular assertion failing. A representative sample:

    terminate called without an active exception

    Hm... for me it looks like that checked_malloc() (in libsecp256k1) could not call malloc(size).

    Which would imply memory is full?

    Which would imply memory is full?

    The build VM in question has 4GB of RAM, 2GB of swap, and is hardly using any of it while the test runs. If this isn't enough memory to run the test, then it isn't nearly enough to run bitcoind itself (which it plainly is).

  6. sdaftuar commented at 2:54 PM on June 27, 2016: member

    I think the relevant issue here is probably this line:

    unknown location(0): fatal error: in "reverselock_tests/reverselock_errors": signal: SIGABRT (application abort requested)
test/reverselock_tests.cpp(50): last checkpoint

    I have no idea what causes the later errors that start with ECC_Start()..., but I'm pretty sure that's a symptom of an earlier test failure.

  7. theuni commented at 5:28 AM on June 28, 2016: member

    Agreed with @sdaftuar. I get the ECC_Start() failures all the time when I accidentally break tests. That should be investigated separately, but I don't think it's the issue here.

    My guess is that there's a legitimate failure in the reverselock test due to something specific about this system.

    I've run this test in isolation and it appears to be a problem:

    What I don't have is a course of action. What do I do at this point?

  9. theuni commented at 3:06 AM on June 29, 2016: member

    Can you run the same thing under gdb? I think it'd be: gdb --args ./test_bitcoin --run_test=reverselock_tests/reverselock_errors

    then hit r to run, wait for it to crash, and thread apply all bt. Hopefully that should show a valid trace including the line causing terminate to be called. I'm suspecting test/reverselock_tests.cpp:52

    @error10:

    Could you please try this patch? My best guess is that something about your setup is different than most. There's some undefined behavior in reverse_lock, and it looks like we've been relying on an exception to be thrown. This removes that undefined behavior:

    Author: Cory Fields <cory-nospam-@coryfields.com>
Date:   Wed Jun 29 11:54:13 2016 -0400

    reverselock: unlocking is undefined if the mutex is not locked

    Explicitly throw an exception in reverselock instead, rather than defaulting to
    the mutex's failure behavior, which may be to call terminate.

    As I said at the very beginning, the big difference is that the system is using gcc 6.1.1.

    I just installed a debian stretch VM, and compiled bitcoin with the version of gcc-5 it came with (5.3.1). It worked fine and all tests passed. When I switched that system to gcc-6 (6.1.1) and rebuilt bitcoin I got the test failure again.

    Could this be another C++ ABI incompatibility? I suppose boost is compiled with gcc 5.x on that system, while you are compiling bitcoin with gcc 6.x.

    You could try doing a depends build to rule that out:

    make distclean
cd depends
make -j4 NO_QT=1 NO_WALLET=1 NO_UPNP=1 # disable everything we just want boost
cd ..
./configure --prefix=$PWD/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
make
make check

    @laanwj Sounds reasonable. It's also possible that there's an issue with building as c++14 (remember that gcc6 defaults to that).

    Today on IRC #bitcoin-dev:

    [16:42:02]  <earlz> Is there a reason that tests would be failing (for 0.12) on Arch Linux?
[16:42:54]  <earlz> errors about secp256k1_context_sign not being null

    @laanwj Sounds reasonable. It's also possible that there's an issue with building as c++14 (remember that gcc6 defaults to that).

    Yes in that case boost is built with c++14 and Bitcoin Core with c++11 as we set the standard, which may also result in incompatibilities. Flashback to the libc/glibc days where compatibility broke all around the place all the time.

    errors about secp256k1_context_sign not being null

    We should really get rid of that error if another test fails, this gets us useless reports as no one will look further than the last error message and blame libsecp256.

    I've been following this issue and it's pretty annoying and I'm seeing no easy way around it. The strange thing is that the master branch builds and tests fine, it's only the 0.12 branch that has this problem.

    Also I tried @laanwj's build process, but it didn't make any difference for me.

  19. error10 commented at 12:36 AM on July 28, 2016: contributor

    I can confirm that this issue is not present in 0.13.0rc1. My guess is that some bit of the ongoing C++11 work fixed it.

  20. error10 commented at 4:53 AM on August 24, 2016: contributor

    Fixed in 0.13.0.
