Subject: Assert triggered (hashtab.c:137) - Guile-2.0.9
Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 10:43:48 +0200 (SAST)

Hi,

We have a system running and was fine for about a month, all the code paths should have been exercised, and the system then threw an assert when it was not processing any requests.

The system runs in a loop and reads values from a database, and also forces a garbage collect every so often.

The assert error thrown:
Assertion failed: removed <= len, file hashtab.c, line 137

The following libraries are used:
gcc             4.7.2   
bdw-gc          7.2

On the one hand I don't understand how this can happen.  On the other, I
unfortunately don't have faith in the buckets-and-chains weak table
implementation in 2.0; it usually works but it's gnarly and is a
threading nightmare, and accesses disappearing links outside the alloc
lock.  See for example:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.garbage-collection.boehmgc/4789

In 2.2 the weak table is rewritten to not require the "vacuum" phase and
to be threadsafe.  That was my best effort at fixing this bug but I
couldn't do it with some of the constraints in 2.0.  For that reason I
am closing this one but feel free to re-open it if you find available
hackpower to work towards a solution for 2.0.

Andy
