Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Version: 9.2-1
Found: 9.1.6-2
Hi,
the dispatcher calls between libGL and libdricore seem to be mismatched.
My sample case is 'Little Inferno', but anyway: the game crashes on startup
directly after a call to glCreateShader(). This is the relevant trace:
] Breakpoint 1, 0xf7fb4250 in glCreateShader () from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
] (gdb) disas
] Dump of assembler code for function glCreateShader:

] 0xf7fb4258 <+8>: jmp *0x790(%eax)
] 0xf7fb425e <+14>: xchg %ax,%ax
] End of assembler dump.

And that is what glCreateShader indeed calls...

] 0xf6f16f1f <_mesa_VertexAttrib2sv+15>: mov 0x24(%esp),%eax
... which falls flat on its face just a couple of instructions down the line
by dereferencing a NULL. The correct dispatcher slot would have been:
] (gdb) p _mesa_CreateShader
] $2 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0xf6fac120 <_mesa_CreateShader>
] (gdb) find/w $eax, $eax + 0x1000, 0xf6fac120
] 0x898c9e8
] 1 pattern found.
] (gdb) p/x 0x898c9e8 - $eax
] $3 = 0x668
The trace is from the current experimental 9.2 package versions, but the bug
exists in unstable, too. (The upgrade to experimental was only a desperate
attempt to get rid of the bug in the first place. ;) )
Best regards,
Jan
