From: Julien Vary @ 2022-07-27 14:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: ffmpeg-devel
Replaced all abort() by av_abort() in the code.
On production systems, when dealing with malformed data,
avcodec was sometime aborting, with no core/memory dump
available to troubleshoot after-the-fact.
Adding av_abort_set_callback to register a custom
function (instead of the default straight abort()
behavior), to allow dumping before the actual abort().
Also 'av_logging' the av_abort() location.

I think it is a very bad idea. The point of abort() is that it is
immediate, so that backtraces are clean and bugs cannot be compounded by
further processing.
A program that terminates on abort() does leave a core dump, I just
checked.

abort() should generally not be in a reachable part of the code - not
inside any of the libraries anyway, ffmpeg.c is a different topic.
If it is reachable with any input files, and not just present to shut
up compilers, this is a bug and should be addressed to return an error
instead.
Therefore, we should address those cases, and just leave abort as-is
otherwise. Nevermind that av_abort would need to be a public function,
which sounds like a really bad idea.

Historically, we had issues with the abort() within libavcodec/vlc.c alloc_table(), but possibly those are now fixed.

We had a different behavior on Windows back then.
Now that we can compile ffmpeg with VisualStudio (instead of cross-compiling with gcc on Linux), we will try to re-go the route of SIGABRT signal handler, and see if we got more success now that we have the same C runtime.
(We had a custom handler to create a "full mini-dump" with dbghelp.dll)
Thanks to make me realize our problem (and solution) is now potentially obsolete.

Did you ever open tickets for these issues?

IMHO abort() calls should all be converted to av_assert0(0). Or is
there a use case for using abort() directly? I don't think so.
Or maybe we could add av_abort() as an alias to av_assert0(0), which
eventually just calls abort()...
Regards,
Marton

I agree that if the goal is to bail-out on 'should-not-be-reachable' code, something that alias av_assert0(0) seems a great idea.
Shall we then give a more descriptive name than plain "av_abort()" for those situations?
Nicolas George & Hendrik Leppkes ? Your thoughts ?

I like “av_assert0(!"reason");” better than a blanket 0.
It can be a good habit to take from now on, but I do not think it is
worth changing the whole code.
av_assert0() calls av_log(), which can call user callbacks or allocate
memory: for dangerous cases, a real immediate abort() is still better.
