Summary0002097: Xdebug crashes with exit code -1073740940 (0xC0000374) on Windows 10 Pro & PHP 7.3.x when Develop Mode is active
Description

Since version 3.1.2 and onward Xdebug crashes with "Process finished with exit code -1073741819 (0xC0000005)" on Windows 10 Pro using PHP 7.3.33 (also 7.3.5) in Develop mode is active when running a PHPUnit test suite on some of our CakePHP 3.x based applications.

Going back to Xdebug 3.1.1 solved the issue.

We tested these variations:

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.0.3-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll" -> OK
xdebug.mode=develop,debug,coverage

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.1.1-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll" -> OK
xdebug.mode=develop,debug,coverage

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.1.2-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll" -> FAIL
xdebug.mode=develop,debug,coverage

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.1.3-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll" -> FAIL
xdebug.mode=develop,debug,coverage

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.1.4-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll" -> FAIL
xdebug.mode=develop,debug,coverage

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.1.5-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll" -> FAIL
xdebug.mode=develop,debug,coverage

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.1.5-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll"
xdebug.mode=debug -> OK

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.1.5-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll"
xdebug.mode=coverage ->OK

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.1.5-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll"
xdebug.mode=develop -> FAIL

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.1.5-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll"
xdebug.mode=debug, coverage -> OK

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.1.5-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll"
xdebug.mode=debug, develop -> FAIL

zend_extension="php_xdebug-3.1.5-7.3-vc15-x86_64.dll"
xdebug.mode=develop, coverage -> FAIL

Steps To Reproduce

Haven't found a way to reproduce this without our private code base.

Hi,

I have had a look at the differences between 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 in the source code, but nothing specific jumped out that could hint at an extra cause for a segfault. I'm afraid I am going to need some more information.

  1. Preferably a backtrace, as is explained under "Generating backtrace, without compiler, on Windows" at https://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php — this provides a hint to me where the crash could occur. Installing the debug pack as mentioned earlier in that file, would be a great help too. Because your PHP version is no longer supported by the PHP project, you can find the php-debug-pack that you need in https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/.
  2. To narrow down where in your code this occurs, configure xdebug.mode=develop,trace and set xdebug.start_with_request=yes, and perhaps xdebug.output_dir=C:\Temp (or something more suitable), and then run the tests. This should create a (big) trace file in that directory, up to the point where it crashes. You might get lucky that the actual call is there, but otherwise it should be the next one.

You might also want to check whether opcache is enabled, and whether removing that changes anything.

cheers,
Derick

Sorry it took me some time to come back to this. I don't have the faintest what this could be, but I am making a reasonable guess that some sequence does make this happen. It does seem to happen when an exception is thrown, which fetches a backtrace :

php7ts!zend_= fetch_debug_backtrace+138 [c:\php-snap-build\php73\vc15\x64\php-7.3.3= 3-ts\zend\zend_builtin_functions.c @ 2489 + 5]php7ts!zend= _default_exception_new_ex+95 [c:\php-snap-build\php73\vc15\x64\php-7.= 3.33-ts\zend\zend_exceptions.c @ 222]

But this crash does not occur in Xdebug at all, but rather just in PHP.

Often when crashes happen at seemingly random locations, I would run my scripts with Zend's Memory Manager disabled, as it sometimes hides real issues. You can do that by exporting the USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 environment variable. I believe on Windows that is done with set USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0. And with this set, then run the scripts again as before.

Hi,

did you manage to run the new test with set USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 as I asked in the previous note?

cheers,
Derick
