[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-2045) Trace trap error while starting CouchDB

Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-2045:
--------------------------------------------

IIRC we need to avoid linking against CoreFoundation in driver/NIF code. There was something about one of the OS X main libraries needing to be initialized from the main thread of a program and would crash randomly if that didn't happen. What really needs to happen is that we figure out why your machine is trying to link against CoreFoundation in the first place.

Are you perhaps on OS X 10.9? I haven't upgraded yet but I could see there being something funky in the ICU libs on the newer OS.

> I ran into an error today in the 1843-feature-bigcouch branch, where running `./rel/dev1/bin/couchdb` would result in the VM crashing with a trace trap error. I tracked this down to the couch_primary_sup child spec for the `collation_driver` when calling `couch_drv:start_link()`, and more particularly, I was able to reproduce this error in a standard Erlang shell by running the command: `erl_ddll:load("/tmp/bigcouch/rel/dev1/lib/couch-2f254d9/priv", "couch_icu_driver").`
> After poking around with things, I ended up stumbling upon: http://openradar.appspot.com/7209349 (linked from http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2010-April/050563.html). I was able to resolve the error by doing `export DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation` in the shell prior to executing `./rel/dev1/bin/couchdb`.
> This seems like a logical addition to the flags set in `src/couch/rebar.config.script`, but I'm not familiar with CoreFoundation, so I don't have a recommendation on the proper way to do this across platforms.
