Hi,
whenever I run a C-function (part of an .so file) and the file is
overwritten, the connection crashes. Tested on 9.1.3 and 9.2-beta1.
It's 100% reproducible:
1) compile the attached file and copy the .so to pkglibdir
$ gcc -I/home/tomas/tmp/postgresql-9.1.2/src/include testcomp.c
-shared -fPIC -o testcomp.so
$ cp testcomp.so `pg_config --pkglibdir`
2) create a function, calling the .so
CREATE FUNCTION test_computation()
RETURNS void
AS 'testcomp','test_computation'
LANGUAGE C STRICT;
3) call the function and while it's running, repeat step (1).
4) an example of the output
WARNING: i = 532000000 v = 141512000266000000
WARNING: i = 533000000 v = 142044500266500000
WARNING: i = 534000000 v = 142578000267000000
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
and a log says this
LOG: server process (PID 17161) was terminated by signal 7: Bus
error
LOG: terminating any other active server processes
WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server
process
...
This does not happen when the .so is removed or just touched, it needs
to be overwritten (although with a file that's binary exactly the same).
Basic info about the box: Linux rimmer 3.3.2-gentoo #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed
Apr 18 14:54:04 CEST 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @
3.30GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
kind regards
Tomas
