[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51351] mktime() crashes on Windows

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #51351 (project octave):

I am seeing the same issue as Philip on a cross build from hg id
1147e5c912aa.
Running Philip's test with gdb on Win10 64bit yields:

octave:1> t = localtime (time ())
t =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    usec =  697191
    sec =  19
    min =  12
    hour =  1
    mday =  4
    mon =  6
    year =  117
    wday =  2
    yday =  184
    isdst =  1
    gmtoff = 0
    zone = Mitteleuropõische Sommerzeit

octave:2> mktime (t)

Thread 1 received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
rpl_localtime (timep=0x63eed8, address@hidden<error reading variable: DWARF-2
expression error: Loop detected (257).>)

38     
/home/[...]/mxe-octave-2/tmp-default-octave/octave-4.3.0+/libgnu/localtime-buffer.c:
No such file or directory.


The backtrace shows hundreds and hundreds of recursive calls to the same
function "rpl_localtime" from the same line 38 where "localtime" is called. I
stopped at around 800 deep in the stack without reaching where the function
was originally called from.
Please, let me know if I can do anything else to help debugging.
