Debugging Rust SIGSEGV

1

Hi,
I'm getting invalid memory references (sic!) when building packages using bindgen.
What is interesting RUST_BACKTRACE doesn't show any backtrace.
I read cargo env variables and bindgen option for some debbuging but there is none.
Here is cargo build output

spock:~/kea-module$ RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo build
   Compiling kea-module v0.1.0 (file:///home/spock/kea-module)
error: failed to run custom build command for `kea-module v0.1.0 (file:///home/spock/kea-module)`
process didn't exit successfully: `/home/spock/kea-module/target/debug/build/kea-module-50631c877f7517a1/build-script-build` (signal: 11, SIGSEGV: invalid memory reference)
--- stdout
cargo:rustc-link-lib=kea-dhcpsrv
cargo:rustc-link-lib=kea-dhcp++
cargo:rustc-link-lib=kea-hooks
cargo:rustc-link-lib=kea-log

spock:~/kea-module$

Is there other methods to debug cargo so I can see what is wrong ?

The easiest approach is probably to turn on core dumps and look at the dump in a debugger like GDB or LLDB: Core dump - ArchWiki

Problem is nothing is build.
I have nothing to analyze since I dont' see any cargo/rust core dumps..

Cargo and rust are not segfaulting. The build script of kea-module is:

process didn't exit successfully: `/home/spock/kea-module/target/debug/build/kea-module-50631c877f7517a1/build-script-build` (signal: 11, SIGSEGV: invalid memory reference)

You are right,
Those files are not build scripts, those are elf binaries (probably generated by bindgen).
Looks like bindgen problem not cargo itself.

Those files are not build scripts, those are elf binaries (probably generated by bindgen).

Just to be clear here, a "build script" in a cargo project is a Rust binary that cargo compiles into a native binary and runs to do some work at build-time. Often these do things like generate Rust code (sometimes using bindgen), build C++ projects, or find native libraries to link against.

bindgen uses libclang, so it's possible for it to cause crashes there.
