Description leiz 2009-05-13 22:18:05 UTC 
This is related to Chromium bug 7477. [1] I'm getting Valgrind internal errors on a 2nd gen Mac Pro running OS X 10.5.6. I'm using Xcode 3.1.2.

When I run my unit test under Valgrind, every so often I get a Valgrind internal error:

VALGRIND INTERNAL ERROR: Valgrind received a signal 11 (SIGSEGV) - exiting
si_code=1;  Faulting address: 0x7A4A010;  sp: 0xf4928ce0
</valgrindoutput>

> valgrind: the 'impossible' happened:
Killed by fatal signal
<stack>
<frame>
<ip>0xF00B6275</ip>
</frame>


To reproduce this bug:

1. Build Chromium per instructions here. [2] I tried with r15968.
2. Install Valgrind. I compile my copy from SVN source with r9779
3. Enable the ObserverListThreadSafeTest.CrossThreadObserver test by removing its entry from base/data/valgrind/base_unittests.gtest.txt
4. Run ./tools/valgrind/chrome_tests.sh -t base --gtest_filter=ObserverListThreadSafeTest.CrossThreadObserver

I did a loop of 100 runs. In 8 of the runs, I hit the internal error.

Note: A very similar bug report with si_code can be reliably reproduced with BZ#234814, using an available in-tree regression test.

Is anyone able to confirm if this bug is still present with current Chromium, current Valgrind SVN and the ObserverListThreadSafeTest.CrossThreadObserver test?

I just tested on Linux, but then I remembered this is a Mac bug. I'll have to find a suitable Mac to test with.
