Segmentation fault on ARM64

[grav]

On Arch Linux ARM64, I get a Segmentation fault on a fresh checkout (2ebaaf5e5ce1c954e8c3e6bfb0c17cc0e412e1b6):

Building (with clang, since ldd+gcc results in build error):

$ git clone git@github.com:SerenityOS/ladybird.git
$ cd ladybird
$ cmake -GNinja -B Build -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++
$ cmake --build Build
$ ninja -C Build debug

Running (no window showing up, crashing immediately):

(gdb) run

I don't have an arm machine handy, but I'm curious, could you try passing -DBUILDSHARED,LIBS=OFF to CMake? I ran into similar issues trying to build for Android

[grav]

Thanks, @ADKaster Tried

$ cmake -GNinja -B Build -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++  -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
$ cmake --build Build
$ ninja -C Build debug

but it gives me the same crash.

@grav I was able to get ladybird building in my M1 mac (arm64). I just needed to edit the Ninja build script to use lldb(mac alternative) instead of gdb because i think gdb still doenst support arm64 afaik.

Thanks @ricardonunosr Not knowing a lot about C toolchains, can you point me to where you did the edit?

Cheers, Mikkel

[ricardonunosr]

Yes ofc @grav , when you do a build just go into the Build folder then build.ninja file then search for gdb and switch to lldb. I think the cmake script should make this automatically but not sure. Let me know if it works 👍

[AaronDewes]

I can reproduce the same issue and switching the debugger won't help. On arm64 Linux, gdb works, but the issue can be reproduced without a debugger.

I triaged the bug and opened a Serenity issue about it: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/issues/15290

Awesome! One more browser for Linux ARM64 (looking at you, Chrome!)
