Hello,
I recently started using the YAGARTO toolchain (Eclipse, GNUARM C
compiler, OpenOCD) for developing the software for a current ARM7 based
project (OS: Win XP pro, SP2).
Every now and then, the Eclipse IDE suddenly hangs. This happens when
trying to save after some changes have been made to a source file, or
when entering debug mode, or at some other circumstances. However, it
does not generally fail, and when I restart Eclipse it will work fine
for some time, but then suddenly it will hang again. I have read some
reports about problems during project launch, but none of these seems to
apply here. (I also included permanent memory size settings and selected
"external browser" for IDE and help system, but that also didn't change
anything.)
Every time it hangs, I need to shutdown it by the task manager. Then,
a popup message window from the java runtime module (javaw.exe or
java.exe) appears, which shows this JVM exit code: 1073807364.
"Googling" for this code reveals no useful information - this seems to
be an exit code that appears quite often, for several causes, and not
only with Eclipse.
However, regardless of what happened before the crash, the exit code is
always the same.
I tried starting Eclipse in debug mode, but the only error message it
shows (and that is reported in the log file) is "unable to create
variable object", which obviously happens from time to time when trying
to start the debugger. However, Eclipse does not hang when this occurs
(at least no immediately). Obviously, there are no log file entries for
the operations that finally caused the crash.
I also tried to get some more detailed report from the Java runtime
environment, but without success. There is no console, even if I
activate it in the Java Control Panel... :-\
As it is now, I need to restart Eclipse every few minutes, which is
really boring.
What can I do to track that problem, and/or to make Eclipse run stable?
Thanks in advance,
Tilmann

Sorry, I forgot to provide more version information...
The Eclipse version is 3.2.0, build M20060629-1905. It contains CDT
v3.1.1.200609080933, and Eclipse platform & RCP v3.2.0.v20060609m - and
many many plugins...
The Java VM I have installed is v1.5.0_09_b03, dated 12.10.2006.
The complete toolchain can be downloaded here: <http://www.yagarto.de>.
Thanks,
Tilmann

Thanks for your reply.
I just updated to the Eclipse SDK 3.2.2 - but no change in behaviour.
Every now and then it crashes.
Then I updated the JRE to the latest version (1.6.0_01), but that also
did not change anything - except for another JVM exit code (now 143),
which also does not provide useful information.
The log file still reports these same two error messages slightly (but
not immediately!) before the crash:
!SESSION 2007-04-24 11:19:01.728
-----------------------------------------------
eclipse.buildId=M20070212-1330
java.version=1.6.0_01
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=de_DE
Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -console
-consoleLog -debug
!ENTRY org.eclipse.debug.core 4 120 2007-04-24 11:19:36.320
!MESSAGE Inferior terminated
!ENTRY org.eclipse.debug.core 4 120 2007-04-24 11:19:36.336
!MESSAGE mi_cmd_var_create: unable to create variable object
It is interesting that I was able to start and run the debugger once
/after/ these messages were reported. Then, after having terminated the
debugging process, I was also able to edit my sources. But when I tried
to save them, Eclipse crashed again.
Also, for the notice: it does not consume any CPU processing time
(neither does the JVM). The system is running idle.
Would the log file section about the loading of all plug-ins eventually
provide any useful information?
Thanks,
Tilmann

Create a VM dump while it is "hanging"
