Bug 30938 – REGRESSION(r50233): Windows nightlies crash on launch due to changes to IWebFramePrivate vtable ordering

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit Misc.

leads crash.

possibly:
IWebFramePrivate::counterValueForElementById inserted near the top of vtable.

[additional notes]
Some XP installations have *only* v8.0.50727.4053 ATL by WU, no updated CRT, specified in dependentAssembly.
If no CRT exists Safari/WebKit cannot boot (before crashing).
Owners may have to install updated vcredist_x86.exe:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2

simple check:
run "dir %windir%\WinSxS\*_8.0.50727.4053_*"
CRT exists?

This is a known issue.  We have the ATL security update installed on our builders so the update is required in order to use the built software.  We have no plans to change this at the moment.

hmm.. then, how about crashing/vtable..

[Mark Rowe (bdash)]

Perhaps you’d like to be clearer about what you mean.  What about a vtable?

For example safari v4.0.3 (531.9.1) + WebKit-r50233, crashes before main window appear.

// It seems no correspond pdbs for safari.dll found on Apple's symsrv.

With ntsd, safari.dll seems want to call IWebFramePrivate::isFrameSet() around there, 
but since r50233, IWebFramePrivate have counterValueForElementById() at #5 entry in vtable,
so it calls WebFrame::spoolPages().
spoolPages has 4 arguments while isFrameSet has 1 argument, so stack will be broken.

Thanks, that’s much clearer :-)

[Mark Rowe (bdash)]

Fixed in r50316.

WebKit-SVN-r50316.zip still have wrong-ordered vtable, so still makes crash.

Should we 'touch' something more?

// and still no pdbs found v4.0.3(531.9.1)...

fixed in r50484(bug 31055)
