Following QuickStart does not Build Successfully

[DanielLee343]

Hi, I was following the exact steps in the quickstart guide but bazel test //tcmalloc/... shows me this:

I noticed the mojority of tests failed in this line tcmalloc/testing/memory_errors_test.cc:432, at the EXPECT_DEATH

TEST_P(ParameterizedTcMallocTest, ReallocLarger) {
  // Note: sizes are chosen so that size + 2 access below
  // does not write out of actual allocation bounds.
  for (size_t size : {2, 29, 60, 505}) {
    EXPECT_DEATH(
        {
          fprintf(stderr, "size=%zu\n", size);
          ScopedAlwaysSample always_sample;
          ScopedImprovedGuardedSampling scoped_improved_guarded_sampling(
              GetParam());
          for (size_t i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) {
            char* volatile ptr = static_cast<char*>(malloc(size));
            ptr = static_cast<char*>(realloc(ptr, size + 1));
            ptr[size + 2] = 'A';
            free(ptr);
            MaybeResetStackTraceFilter(GetParam());
          }
        },
        "SIGSEGV");
  }
}

Any reason for that, or hint for debug? Thanks!

Do you have the relevant errors from the log files?

For example, on memory_errors_test, does the test die successfully, but perhaps not with the expected error?

[DanielLee343]

Thanks for reply. The log files show it does not meet with expected error:

tcmalloc/testing/memory_errors_test.cc:432: Failure
Death test: { fprintf(stderr, "size=%zu\n", size); ScopedAlwaysSample always_sample; ScopedImprovedGuardedSampling scoped_improved_guarded_sampling( GetParam()); for (size_t i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) { char* volatile ptr = static_cast<char*>(malloc(size)); ptr = static_cast<char*>(realloc(ptr, size + 1)); ptr[size + 2] = 'A'; free(ptr); MaybeResetStackTraceFilter(GetParam()); } }
    Result: died but not with expected error.
  Expected: contains regular expression "SIGSEGV"
Actual msg:

There's no --config=asan option for bazel. So I ran with -c dbg but no difference.

I have the issue here, any update?

tcmalloc/internal/allocation_guard_test.cc:35: Failure Death test: { AllocationGuardSpinLockHolder h(&lock); } Result: died but not with expected error. Expected: contains regular expression "SIGABRT received" Actual msg:

@ckennelly Do you have any ideas? Anything will be helpful, Thanks in advance!
