tracking segfault upon invocation of perl script (mytop tool and similar)
up vote

on my gentoo machine, mytop 1.9.1 quits upon invocation with the following output:
# mytop
Useless use of private variable in void context at /usr/bin/mytop line 1001.
"my" variable $data masks earlier declaration in same scope at /usr/bin/mytop line 1035.
Errore di segmentazione
as far as I can understand, mytop is a Perl script (the tool is effectively readable via command vi /usr/bin/mytop), so I tried to update all perl subdependencies (as stated on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Perl), but that didn't solve the problem.
Then I also tried:
- downgrading to mytop 1.6-r4 (which is reported as stable on portage), same result: segmentation fault
- installing innotop 1.12.0 (which is a similar tool), same result: segmentation fault
Since the same problem pops out with two different tools, I believe it's a matter of debugging Perl, but I don't know ho to proceed. I need to track down this.

Try running it understrace -fto see who is segfaulting. Also, the last few messages indmesgmight also tell you which binary is segfaulting (probably easier to do this than usingstraceif you haven't installed it yet, but you'll get less information).

Try running it under
strace -f to see who is segfaulting. Also, the last few messages in dmesg might also tell you which binary is segfaulting (probably easier to do this than using strace if you haven't installed it yet, but you'll get less information).– binki
