[Mono-dev] Mono CI weather report 10/12

[Rodrigo Kumpera]

Hey Andi,

PR #3755 should fix this issue.

1. Null reference exceptions in System.Text.StringBuilder.Append, etc [New]

Filed as https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=45335 , examples in bugzilla. Null reference exceptions are turning up in various runtime tests, most often in StringBuilder.Append. It is not immediately clear if the problem is in the class libraries or if the runtime is turning references null.






I finally managed to repro this on 32bits linux. It takes about an hour to repro, so fixing it is going pretty slow.

4. ThreadAbortException in System.Threading.Timer+Scheduler.SchedulerThread  (the "List`1 issue")  [Existing]

Filed as https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=43320 , currently assigned to Rodrigo. I thought this had gotten better for a week or so, but in the last 48 hours it’s occurred on at least one lane on almost every build, so maybe it was random fluctuations.

This occurs in many different places but the crash message always looks the same. It is believed to be existing bad behavior brought into the light by recent fixes by Vargaz around finalizers and VM shutdown.


Unhandled Exception:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1' threw an exception. ---> System.Threading.ThreadAbortException
