回复: Stack Smashing Detected When Executing initdb

Hi Zeeshan,

Thank you for helping me. I tried to analyze the core dump file, but unfortunately it didn't seem to have generated one. Therefore I ran initdb with gdb, which produced following output:

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.

0x00007ffff791c574 in __GI___libc_write (fd=4, buf=0x555555636a60, nbytes=64) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/write.c:26

warning: 26 ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/write.c: No such file or directory

The error message clearly indicates that something like write.c is missing, which is included in GNU C Library. However, I found that I've already installed it on my computer. It also confuses me that there was no core dump file at all, since initdb says "Aborted (core dumped)". I'd really appreciate if you can give me further information.

Regards,

Haorong Xu

Hi Xu

To pinpoint the issue, please use gdb debugger to get the backtrace to exactly find out where the error is occurring and you can then do the required setups.

Hi everyone, 

Today I tried to build the latest devel version of PostgreSQL(commit 70a845c04a47645b58f8276a6b3ab201ea8ec426). The compilation was successful, but when I ran initdb an error occured:

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".

This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.UTF-8".

The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".

The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Data page checksums are disabled.

After searching for solutions on the Internet, I disabled the stack smashing protector by performing

./configure CC='clang -fno-stack-protector'

However, the problem still exists. Is there anyone else having this issue?
