Build problem in Ice-3.3.1

[ctennis]

Not sure what's going wrong here, trying to build Ice 3.3.1 and getting this build error when it gets to the cpp/Ice directory:

rm -f ../../include/Ice/BuiltinSequences.h BuiltinSequences.cpp

../../bin/slice2cpp --ice --include-dir Ice --dll-export ICE_API -I../../../slice --stream ../../../slice/Ice/BuiltinSequences.ice

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'IceUtil::NullHandleException'
  what():  ../../include/IceUtil/Handle.h:46: IceUtil::NullHandleException
make: *** [BuiltinSequences.cpp] Aborted

Anyone else seen this?

Hi Caleb,

Can you get us a stack trace?

It would also be good for us to know your operating system and compiler versions.

Thanks,
Mark

This is on a Gentoo setup, gcc 4.1.2

I tried again, this time downloading a fresh copy, going into the dir, and just typing "make". Slightly different error this time:

rm -f ../../include/Ice/BuiltinSequences.h BuiltinSequences.cpp

../../bin/slice2cpp --ice --include-dir Ice --dll-export ICE_API -I../../../slice --stream ../../../slice/Ice/BuiltinSequences.ice

slice2cpp: Parser.cpp:5512: int Slice::Unit::parse(const std::string&, FILE*, bool, Slice::FeatureProfile): Assertion `_definitionContextStack.size() == 1' failed.

The backtrace for this error is:

#0 0xb7f91416 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1 0xb7b4db91 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2 0xb7b4f378 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6
#3 0xb7b46f25 in __assert_fail () from /lib/libc.so.6

at Parser.cpp:5512
#5 0x080be30b in main (argc=9, argv=0xbfdac274) at Main.cpp:210

I'll keep diving in to see what's going on.

Hi Caleb,

I have build Ice-3.3.1 on Gentoo

gcc -v

Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu

I could not reproduce the problem you are seeing, are you using the correct mcpp version? 2.7.2 is required as Ice-3.3.1

Regards,
José

Yep, that was it. I only had 2.7. Thanks for the insight. I missed it in the INSTALL.LINUX file.

Hi,

I'm seeing what appears to be an identical problem: when slice2cpp runs I see:

slice2cpp: Parser.cpp:5512: int Slice::Unit:arse(const std::string&, FILE*, bool, Slice::FeatureProfile): Assertion `_definitionContextStack.size() == 1' failed.

However I'm using mcpp version 2.7.2 (which I build from source, the debian packages are older). My setup is as follows:

Debian linux [stable (lenny)]

$ gcc --version
gcc-4.3 (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2
$ mcpp -v
MCPP V.2.7.2 (2008/11) compiler-independent-build compiled by GCC V.4.3
Include paths are as follows --

libmcpp.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libmcpp.so.0 (0xb79f1000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f32000)


Any ideas?

Hi Alex,

What are the contents of your Slice file?

[michi]

This looks like the mcpp problem we already posted a patch for. Could check whether that patch fixes it?

Cheers,

Michi.

[borax00]

Yes, this patch seems to fix the problem.

Thanks!
