R 2.15.0 and 2.14.2 crash on the same code that runs on 2.14.1
Locked
 
|
Dear list,
My code runs on 2.14.1 smoothly (with no error) but makes R crash on 2.14.2 and 2.15.0 with the usual windows message about "R for windows GUI front-end has stopped working..." and as such I dont have any access to R to get any error or warning message (if any). It crashes on random parts of the code any time that I run it. The code consists of EDA and spatial regression and various loops and optimizations. The goal of the code is to perform a complete analysis on various datasets. Please take a look at the code here : https://sites.google.com/site/geosciej/Home/STAR_ter1.R?attredirects=0&d=1 It seems that the results that comes out of 2.15.0 is more valid for my work. I cant think of anything that makes the code crash on the latest versions. Here is the error message from windows: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: Rgui.exe Application Version: 2.150.58871.0 Application Timestamp: 4f75a0ca Fault Module Name: stats.dll Fault Module Version: 2.150.58871.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 4f75a1c9 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 000237c5 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 I appreciate your help, Thank you Ebrahim Jahanshiri [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ [hidden email] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. |

One thing that jumps out is that you start off by loading five external packages, either of which might be the true owner of the problem. Even if the actual crash hits in the stats.dll, the underlying issue could well be memory corruption occurring some time earlier. Things to try: Run under Rterm in a command window instead of Rgui. That should at least tell you how far you got before the crash, maybe even a proper traceback. Carefully try disabling parts of the code until the issue goes away. The last item removed might hold the clue. If you can cut it down to something small(-ish) and reproducible, people might be in a better position to help you. Is it really a random crash, or does the crash point move every time you change the code slightly? If the former, you might have physical computer problems or you might be running close to your memory limit. -Peter D. > > It seems that the results that comes out of 2.15.0 is more valid for my > work. > > I cant think of anything that makes the code crash on the latest versions. > > Here is the error message from windows: > > Problem Event Name: APPCRASH > Application Name: Rgui.exe > Application Version: 2.150.58871.0 > Application Timestamp: 4f75a0ca > Fault Module Name: stats.dll > Fault Module Version: 2.150.58871.0 > Fault Module Timestamp: 4f75a1c9 > Exception Code: c0000005 > Exception Offset: 000237c5 > OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 > Locale ID: 1033 > Additional Information 1: 0a9e > Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 > Additional Information 3: 0a9e > Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 > > > > I appreciate your help, > > Thank you > Ebrahim Jahanshiri > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > [hidden email] mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: [hidden email] Priv: [hidden email] ______________________________________________ [hidden email] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. |

Thank you very much.
Memory problem or heat (of CPU?) is the main suspect here for me. But how is it that 2.14.1 can run it but others can not I dont know (maybe some mechanisms that prevent memory problem in 2.14.1 are not working in the latest versions. One thing for sure is that the speed of loops are really higher in 2.15 and the results as I said are more valid for me). I did use divide and conquer and it think the optimization part with nlminb() is the main suspect here (the code does 28 nlminb() in each loop) but again how is it that it does not work sometimes is really a mystery to me. I did try running the code on different machines (32 and 64 bit windows 7 with 4GB of RAM mainly CORE2DUO and CORE i5) but all of them had crashes at random parts. I will continue to post my observations to the group along with a smaller reproducible code and the dataset.

If the former, you might have physical computer problems or you might be running close to your memory limit. Just a guess: One more thing you could try is to rebuild your packages under 2.15.0.

Re: R 2.15.0 and 2.14.2 crash on the same code that runs on 2.14.1

Since this appears to be Windows (not explicitly said), the likely
change is the compilers used for R >= 2.14.2 differ from those used for 2.14.1. The posting guide does ask for 'at a minimum' information with good reason. How big the change was depends on whether this was 32- or 64-bit Windows. Unfortunately there are a lot of badly written packages out there which write in memory they should not. As time goes on compilers get better at optimizing, and that means they are better at keeping things in places in memory close to hand that are more liable to get clobbered. The only really effective way to find such things is to use valgrind, and that means to use Linux (or perhaps Mac OS X, but that's flaky and with a lot more overhead than on Linux). See R CMD check --use-valgrind. And of course a new compiler may have a new set of bugs: but so far we've uncovered about 50 errors in packages and none in the compiler.
