coz fails silently on my rust program

[asg0451]

When i run my program with coz, it exits without doing anything:

$ cargo b --release && coz run --- ./target/release/cov-breaker >/dev/null

$ echo $?

(somewhat) minimal repro: https://github.com/asg0451/rust-coz-breaker

Anecdotally, coz worked fine in my actual program, until I added rayon & channels & parallelism.

Ubuntu 20.04, coz from apt (I don't see a --version flag)

Requires cargo to build, as with all (most) Rust programs

EDIT: it seems to me that rayon is the issue. replacing

lines.par_iter().for_each_with(tx, |tx, &j| {

with

lines.iter().for_each(|&j| {

(that is - switching from rayon to a regular single-threaded iterator)
results in coz working

EDIT 2: turns out that removing rayon still results in an abrupt exit with code 245, it's just not immediate..

+1, I see this too.

[profiler.cpp:75] Starting profiler thread --> abruptly exit code 245

I had this same issue, but was able to fix it with the coz::thread_init() fix mentioned in the README.

I'm not sure if it's the same issue, but I had a similar issue that would trigger the following output:

And I remember having seen this 245 error code in strace or something.
I debugged it and it turned out this happens on Rust programs not linked with pthread.
I'm not sure how Rust programs using thread work, but it seems sometimes it does not link pthread (it's not shown in ldd).

The solution I found was to remove | RTLD_NOLOAD from this line.

I was having a similar issue:

[profiler.cpp:75] Starting profiler thread                                                
[libcoz.cpp:96] init_coz in progress, do not recurse
[profiler.h:123] Thread state not found

I could fix the issue by removing the RTLD_NOLOAD flag as also noted by @antoyo. Another workaround that doesn't involve recompiling is using LD_PRELOAD like LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0.

Trying out coz for the first time, this solved my issue with Thread state not found running the benchmark tests.
Thanks :D

coz fails even more silently for my Rust program, quitting with the 245 error code with no output whatsoever.

EDIT:
What I've found out so far:

• I suspected the mold linker may be the culprit, but using Rust defaults didn't change anything.
• coz::thread_init() in main() and in background threads didn't help.
• the LD_PRELOAD hack helped, running LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 coz run --- target/release/afx produced

  [libcoz.cpp:100] bootstrapping coz
  [libcoz.cpp:128] Including MAIN, which is /home/viluon/Projects/afx/target/release/afx
  terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dwarf::format_error'
    what():  unknown compilation unit version 5
  

• @hugolm84's workaround described in dwarf::format_error #107 (comment) helped me get coz working with my application. Unfortunately, most (all?) the debug info from my code (not dependencies) seems to be ignored by coz. A 24 MB profile from a 20+ minute run with three progress points doesn't seem to even mention my crate's source code.
  
  
  (the main.rs reference in the screenshot points to #[derive(...)] in my code, I think it's attributing another crate's source (the debug info of which coz understands) to a location in my code)

I have a similar problem with a C executable:

I couldn't get coz to work on anything until now.
My compile parameters are:
-Wall -Wextra -Wold-style-declaration -Wuninitialized -Wmaybe-uninitialized -Wunused-parameter -g1 -gdwarf-3

Are there any suggestions on how to get this working with a plain C program?
