Does anyone know what this error is? (Segfault) … nevermind
Ok, I'm at the end of my sanity. I'm finally over the hell-death which is hand, foot and mouth (courtesy of my daughter) which means I can type again, and now I'm stuck trying to debug some dastardly segfault. Here is it (courtesy of /var/log/messages):
Jun 30 12:49:13 NON kernel: python[29965]: segfault at 000000010000000f rip
000000000044068e rsp 00002aabea0294b0 error 4
This is on a 64 bit machine. The application is heavily, heavily threaded python using queues for inter-thread communication, and the threads are using libcurl via pycurl under that.
I get no exceptions, no errors: Nothing. The interpreter simply dies. If I attach an strace to it, I see this:
futex(0x2e4a6300, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x2e4a6300, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x2aaaac10cab0, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call)
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
Any ideas?
Edit: Never mind, I finally found the answer... I removed:
curl.setopt(pycurl.CONNECTTIMEOUT, 120)
After reading this mail thread, and the code now flies. I love life.
