Compiler crash in Mac OS X Sierra cause the IDE to lockup

[Godzil]

I'm running Mac OS X Sierra which is of course a beta, so the openspin/bstc crash can come from here, I don't have the log yet about the crash, but after loading a .spin file, and try to use any command that will compile it, I get a "Process crashed" error dialog, and as soon the dialog is dismissed the IDE become unresponsive (beach-balling).

The crash is not related, even if it would need to be investigated to understand what failed, but the IDE should recover from that crash and not stop answering to user input.

I will try to get logs to see if there is anything interesting

Log from running PropellerIDE from the command line:

Nothing else, then I've tryed to run bstc by hand:

Segmentation fault: 11

I will try with openspin to see.

So openspin is basically working and the IDE does not lockup:

bstc have an issue, but the IDE should not lockup this way. (I'm using the latest release)

[dgately]

bstc gets a segmentation fault 11 when run (even on the command line) on macOS Sierra (10.12). This is not the Beta Sierra, but the actual released OS.

I know that bstc sources are NOT available, so looks like PropellerIDE should:

A) allow compile process such as "propBasic->OpenSpin" or B) use some other spin compiler...

Note, the PropBasic source that I was compiling created a @@@ type reference "__ascii_adr LONG @@@ascii", which OpenSpin cannot compile. That "known" bug/feature needs to be resolved in order to use OpenSpin for many projects. (Oh well!)

Segmentation Fault 11 log: bstc_seg_fault_on_macOS_Sierra.txt

Good luck!

[j105rob]

Any progress on getting this fixed? I am having the exact same issue OSX Sierra 10.12.4.

[bartgrantham]

I'm getting this as well on macOS 10.12.5 with PropellerIDE 0.38.4 and 0.38.5. Is it a bug in the entire 0.38.x line?

[mrWheel]

I'm using Sierra 10.12.6 and having the same problem (crashing propellerIDE 0.38.5). Is this going to be fixed or is there an alternative?

[j105rob]

FYI... I am a security conference organizer and I am using the Parallax badge extensively. Is this going to get fixed anytime soon? I am @3xplo1t2 on twitter and I am responsible for BSides Charm City badges this year. Can you please at least provide an update to the progress?

[drawkula]

@@@: http://forums.parallax.com/discussion/comment/1187176/#Comment_1187176

Are we there yet?

[bartgrantham]

@drawkula : what do you mean? It was working until 0.38.x, but the 0.38.x line appears to be broken on macOS.

[drawkula]

@@@ now works in OpenSpin? Why did I miss it?

[bartgrantham]

Oh, sorry. I missed the discussion about @@@, I was referring to PropIDE altogether not working.

I have no idea the status of @@@.

[drawkula]

Mixed topics smoothie... :-) I'm silent now...

[nyholku]

This happens to me on 'macOS 10.13.6 (17G2208)' (High Sierra) making it useless to me.

Moving at tangent: II tried to compile the IDE from source and managed to get it to compile but it does not find openspin (which I also compiled from source) event though it is on the path. I could not find any instructions how to configure the ide to use the compiler as there is no 'browse' button it the preferences dialog.

Or do I need to dive into the source code and debug this myself?

[avsa242]

@nyholku I've run into this in the past, too, and the only quick way I've found to get around it is to have both the propelleride and openspin binaries in the same directory (e.g., both in $HOME/bin). Just now I've tried to move my copy of openspin to /usr/bin, while my propelleride binary remains in $HOME/bin, and despite both directories being in my PATH, the IDE doesn't find it. Moving it back to $HOME/bin, it works.

[nyholku]

Thanks! That did it. For some reason the 'official' build now also seems to 'not crash', need to investigate this further.
