Hi Bernardo,

what kind of processor do you have? Does it support sse2? (it needs to for Cog & Stack VMs). Is 0x8187ef8 a valid address (e.g. what's the output of x/10w 0x8187ef8)? why are you not getting symbols in your backtrace? Are you stripping the VM by any chance? If so, please don't. Having symbols would really help in debugging this; your stack trace has only the C library entrypoint symbol. The rest is raw addresses.

Bernardo,

can you include the output from "info registers" when it crashes

please?

Hi all,

im trying to compile the stack vm on unix with debug options because i'm getting an illegal instruction, see below

Starting program: /home/vonbecmann/bin/stack-vm/latest/results/StackVM [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction. 0x08092ccb in ?? () (gdb) bt #0 0x08092ccb in ?? () #1 0x080930ee in ?? () #2 0x0809314d in ?? () #3 0x08095b77 in ??

But i dont know what to do next. maybe im using the wrong libraries to compile it

what should i do?? any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Eliot, i have an old computer (AMD-Athlon-XP-2004+http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Athlon%20XP%202400+%20-%20AXDA2400DKV3C.html) and it doesn't support sse2!! [?] im sorry for bothering you

No problem. If you recompile the VM without sse2 it should still work. If you look at platforms/Cross/vm/sqAtomicOps.h you'll see there are complex definitions of atomic 64-bit get64 and set64 in terms of lock cmpxchg8b. Make sure these are being used in place of the sse2 movq. Good luck!

thanks
