Bug 146598 – Bmalloc: Crash on 32-bit Linux at bmalloc::Heap::allocateLarge() -> bmalloc::VMHeap::grow() .

• Status: NEW
• Component: New Bugs

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

Steps to reproduce the crash:

1. Build WebKitGTK+ on 32-bit Linux (I tested this with i686 and ARM builds, both are affected).

2. Open a Web page that tries to allocate a fairly amount of ram.

# For example use the test case of bug 146205 that allocates near 3GB (with the GTK port at least)
$ WebKitBuild/Release/bin/MiniBrowser http://people.igalia.com/clopez/apngmem/withapng.html

Result: The WebProcess crashes.



3. Now repeat the same but disabling bmalloc at runtime (by setting the env var Malloc=1)

$ Malloc=1 WebKitBuild/Release/bin/MiniBrowser http://people.igalia.com/clopez/apngmem/withapng.html

Now it don't crashes.


This is a different than bug 146440 because I tried the workaround of disabling the GCC tree-sra optimization but it didn't helped.
