Bat segfaults when trying to view any file.

depesz commented 2 years ago

Installed new system. One of the steps is installing some rust tools. So I did:

export RUSTUP_HOME=/opt/rustup
export CARGO_HOME=/opt/cargo
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
export PATH="${CARGO_HOME}/bin:${PATH}"
cargo install cargo-update bat

This was done using root account.

Unfortuantely viewing ANY file results in:

=# ls -l /etc/hosts
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 244 sty  2 13:37 /etc/hosts

=# bat /etc/hosts
memory allocation of 7881122326526296064 bytes failed
Aborted (core dumped)

I don't know anything about debugging rust tools, so figured I'll try strace: bat.strace.gz

Unfortunately nothing came out of it, for me.

Thanks for reporting this quickly.

It's my fault again :(

We are waiting for syntect to yank 4.7.1, see https://github.com/trishume/syntect/pull/403#issuecomment-1003940363

Is there anything I can do on my end (short of cargo uninstall) to make that work? some way to let cargo to use different version(s) ?

Enselic commented 2 years ago

Yeah you can do cargo install --locked bat which will use a compatible version of syntect.

Sweet. thanks a lot. that saves me a lot of hassle. And thanks a lot for great software :)

Enselic commented 2 years ago

Syntect 4.7.1 was yanked long ago. Closing.
