[Bug] Windows XP Setup segmentation faults the emulator...

Post by Battler »

Basically, it boots fine from the CD, loads all the drivers, then goes to black screen + blinking cursor to load the next stage, and then segmentation fault. I tried to gdb it, and it segmentation faults at address 0x00000000, and I couldn't even backtrace - gdb said the stack was corrupted. This happens only on the recompiler, if I disable the recompiler by manually editing the configuration file, the problem goes away. It also only happens starting with the commit that reorganized REP.

It turns out this is caused by a mistake of Sarah's. In both codegen_x86.c and codegen_x86-64.c, this:

Code: Select all

if ((op_table == x86_opcodes_REPNE || op_table == x86_opcodes_REPE) && !op_table[opcode | op_32])
Should be changed to this:

Code: Select all

if ((op_table == x86_dynarec_opcodes_REPNE || op_table == x86_dynarec_opcodes_REPE) && !op_table[opcode | op_32])
Then the code will behave correctly, and XP will no longer segmentation fault the emulator.
