"munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer" when executed on PowerPC 970 #153

Closed lukezenoob closed 1 year ago

lukezenoob commented 2 years ago

While this is a small project and I don't want to bother you with things like this, I am very eager to get this working on unusual hardware. Very happy you included PowerPC support.

The CPU in question is a dual-core, big endian, 64-bit PowerPC 970. It is running Gentoo Linux with GCC 11.3.

I receive the error munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer when running cpufetch. It compiles with no problem, i simply cannot execute it. --debug returns the same thing as well.

Thanks for reporting the issue. Can you please follow these guidelines and provide the information required so I can understand where the issue is?

Thanks!

Hi, sorry, i've provided as much info as possible. Neither of the options worked. Perhaps it is an endianness problem?

Dr-Noob commented 2 years ago

Running valgrind should give some output. Did you try what's under "Stacktrace option 1 (best)" in the guidelines? "Stacktrace option 2" would also be helpful.

Without further information is impossible to fix the issue, since I don't know what is causing the failure.

I have applied several patches and merged them into master branch. Can you try again to check if cpufetch works now?

I picked up an iMac G5 and version 1.04 is working on it! Not 1.02, which is the Gentoo ebuild i got it from. Screen Shot 2023-05-15 at 7 48 37 PM

Awesome!

It's expected to work under 1.04 but not under 1.02 since the bug was fixed in 1.04 (it confirms that the issue was the same as the one reported in #178). Closing now.
