First of all, this may have to do with GDB and passing Emacs environment variables to another Emacs instance.
This may explain why we're seeing this abort in bidi:
I am reproducing at least some type of crash in bidi_initialize() when I debug Emacs (24) from gdb session inside an Emacs 23 - this occurs all the time, but not when I start it outside of Emacs/GDB:
The abort in question happens here:
bidi_mirror_table = uniprop_table (intern ("mirroring"));
if (NILP (bidi_mirror_table))
abort ();
uniprop_table returns Qnil in this situation (chartab.c:1340):
if (! CHAR_TABLE_P (table)
|| ! UNIPROP_TABLE_P (table))
return Qnil;
And the reason for the return here is that (! CHAR_TABLE_P (table)).
I can't show all of Vchar_code_property_alist (symbol not defined?!),
but tracing uniprop_table() shows that we're correctly looking for prop="mirroring", and we find val:
(gdb) xprintsym val
"uni-mirrored.el"(gdb)
At this point, table = XCDR (val) yields:
(gdb) print table
$4 = 3484193
(gdb) xprintsym table
Cannot access memory at address 0x100000004
(gdb) xprintstr table
Attempt to extract a component of a value that is not a structure pointer.
STRINGP (table) evaluates to true, so we seem to load a file, but fail because (! CHAR_TABLE_P (table)).
Is it possible that it's loading the wrong file?
I've watched file system activity and found indeed an access to the uni-mirrored.el file coming from my Emacs 23 installation!
Is it the environment?
Within Emacs GDB, the following possibly variables are set:
EMACSDATA=/Users/dr/ae.git/nextstep/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc
EMACSPATH=/Users/dr/ae.git/nextstep/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin
EMACS=t
EMACSLOADPATH=/Users/dr/ae.git/nextstep/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp:/Users/dr/ae.git/nextstep/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/leim
INSIDE_EMACS=23.3.50.39,comint
EMACSDOC=/Users/dr/ae.git/nextstep/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc
Does this explain what's going on?
