SIGSEGV before main ? and gcc-debuginfo

[Marco Atzeri]

trying to debug latest release candidate of netcdf
I hit this SIGSEGV before reaching main

$ gdb .libs/ctest.exe
GNU gdb (GDB) Cygwin 7.9.1-1
.....
Reading symbols from .libs/ctest.exe...done.
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x100401171: file

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

146             orq     $0x0, (%rcx)            /* probe there */

I thought it was a stack issue and I raised from 2M to 8M

SizeOfStackReserve      0000000000200000

SizeOfStackReserve      00000000007a1200

with no success.

May be it is not a netcdf bug ? Ideas what to look for ?


$ uname -svr
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 2.0.4(0.287/5/3) 2015-06-09 12:22


In addition there is a problem with gcc-debuginfo

  $ cygcheck -l gcc-debuginfo |grep cygwin.S
/usr/src/debug/gcc-4.9.3-1/libgcc/config/i386/cygwin.S
