Hi everyone,

I've been experiencing very weird problem with CtrlCore and GridCtrl in debug mode on Linux. Everything works just fine in optimal or when I don't use GridCtrl package. As soon as I just add GridCtrl to my package, without even including the GridCtrl.h, things go wrong. The application throws this on stderr:
Quote:

The program 'guitest' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
(Details: serial 118 error_code 160 request_code 148 minor_code 7)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Then it runs forever, taking 100% of CPU resources. When I run it in debugger and stop it at random, I always get this backtrace:

#23 0x0804e9dc in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff9b4, envptr=0xbffff9bc) at /home/h/MyApps/guitest/main.cpp:13

So as far as I can tell, some bad X11 error happens, U++ tries to cleanup and exit and the EXITBLOCK code from DrawX11.cpp results in infinite loop over or inside _XReply(). Since it happens even when GridCtrl.h is not included, I suspected some INIT/EXITBLOCKs in GridCtrl, but I haven't found any. Is there something else that registers itself even if the code is not called directly? Or perhaps something in CtrlCore that reacts to GridCtrl presence?

Oh, and I forgot to mention that this happens with both GCC 4.6.2 and Clang 3.0. It also happens with NOGTK flag, but then the error is different:
Quote:

X Error of failed request: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 148 (RENDER)
Minor opcode of failed request: 7 (RenderFreePicture)
Picture id in failed request: 0x17
Serial number of failed request: 10
Current serial number in output stream: 91


Can anyone reproduce this weird behavior? Or is it just something rotten in my system?

Best regards,
Honza

Hello Honza

An U++ user had exactly the same problem few days ago and I could not find the reason... and the program includes GridCtrl too.

Good find!

Hello Honza

I have just tested in other environment HomeBudget, GridCtrlTest and a big program that had the same problem and, they work perfectly!!!

- gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5)
- Ubuntu 10.04
- Latest svn U++

Hello Honza

I've got a little success today - I found out that the issue is BLITZ related. When I turn off BLITZ for GridCtrl, the problem disappears. So far I didn't figure out which file or combination of files causes it, so investigation continues...

Finally got it Smile And it is not really BLITZ related... it is much more complicated Smile

After a lot of commenting out of different parts of code I narrowed it down to single line: GridDisplay.cpp:36. There, in SetTheme() is an indirect call to GridImg::Vhdr6(), which is a default header theme defined in GridCtrl.iml. Now this function gets called when global variable GridDisplay StdGridDisplay is initialized. I'm still not 100% certain what exactly happens, but I believe it is wrong initialization order. Probably StdGridDisplay is initialized before GridImg or something like that. It would also explain why it happens only in some modes and on some systems - the order of initialization can be implementation dependent.

I looked through all the code in trunk, but StdGridDisplay seems to not be used anywhere. So I think it won't break much if just fix the problem by transforming the global variable to function, so that it is initialized later (upon the first use, note that this might also save some memory Wink ):
//GridDisplay.cpp:11
GLOBAL_VAR(GridDisplay, StdGridDisplay);
//GridDisplay.h:106
UPP::GridDisplay& StdGridDisplay();

What do you think Daniel, is this fix possible? I know it might break someones application, but the fix in that case would be trivial (just adding "()"), so it is not really bad, right?

I guess this is exactly why people often say that global variables are bad Very Happy

Hi Honza. Thank you for tracking this down! I really appreciate this. And yes, the fix seems to be good. I don't even remember if I ever used StdGridDisplay...

Patch applied. Have to admit that it is strange anyway, I have not found a way how order of initialization could break this. But I was only looking for 30 minutes or so...

Hello Mirek

It good be good if INITBLOCK() could start in the same order in all platforms. Is it possible?

Cool!

I still get that same error with version 4451 on Ubuntu 11.10 but am guessing the sources didn't update yet. Will try it again tomorrow.

Unfortunately, no. You have to design your code around this limitation (which usually is quite simple).

Am now using UPP4458 and I get exactly the same behaviour. I have cleaned and rebuilt all. Is there anything else I need to do please?

Koldo has my code. I am attempting to build a 64bit exe under Ubuntu 11.10 and I get the "RenderBadPicture" error with the window not showing and the exe using one CPU almost 100%.

Nick

EDIT: Honza, I am using "sudo apt-get upgrade theide" in order to move to the latest version. Is this correct? Do I need to uninstall completely and install again?

That depends on how you manage U++ sources. If you use SVN or git, then apt-get upgrade theide is fine. If you use sources from upp package, you should also upgrade upp: "sudo apt-get upgrade upp theide". In that case you should also have theide set up to sync the sources from /usr/share/upp to your home directory.

Hey Honza,

The latest version of upp does not install for some reason. I thought it was me so I destroyed my virtual machine and made a new one from a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10.

When I run theIDE for the first time it tries to install to

/home/user/upp/upp/upp/upp/upp/upp/upp/upp/upp/... and so on and fails.

So far I have not been able to try the fix from this thread.

Cheers,

Nick

EDIT: love you guys - you always come through Laughing my software is up and working on Ubuntu 11.10 using UPP 4500. Fantastic!
