Hi Riccardo and all,


/usr/src/GNUstep/libs-back# grep -r "shmget" .

./Source/x11/XWindowBuffer.m:    shminfo.shmid = *shmget*(IPC_PRIVATE,
./Source/x11/XWindowBuffer.m:        NSLog(@"XShm not supported,
*shmget*() failed: %m.");
./Source/x11/XWindowBuffer.m:      wi->shminfo.shmid =
*shmget*(IPC_PRIVATE,
./Source/x11/XWindowBuffer.m:          NSLog(@"Warning: *shmget*()
failed: %m.");
./Source/x11/xutil.c:rximg->info.shmid = *shmget*(IPC_PRIVATE, 

strange. On a setup with I suppose is very similar to yours, I don't get
this error.

What versions of gnustep are you using?

The latest! See my mail from 2020-05-07 9:38 in which I outlined the complete installation process. Right now I am using the art backend. Both backends (art an cairo) produces a break of the app (but with different logs)

In the meanwhile I have inserted an [NSException raise:...] into  /libs-back/Source/x11/XWindowBuffer.m

 if (!wi->ximage)
        {
          NSLog(@"Warning: XShmCreateImage failed!");
          NSLog(@"Falling back to normal XImage (will be slower).");
          goto no_xshm;
        }
      wi->shminfo.shmid = shmget(IPC_PRIVATE,
        wi->ximage->bytes_per_line * wi->ximage->height,
        IPC_CREAT | 0700);

      if (wi->shminfo.shmid == -1)
        {
          NSLog(@"Warning: shmget() failed: %m.");
          NSLog(@"Falling back to normal XImage (will be slower).");

           [NSException raise:NSInternalInconsistencyException format:@"asas"]; // <-- remove this

          XDestroyImage(wi->ximage);
          goto no_xshm;
        }

to get a backtrace of what triggers the shmget() problem and got this

The corresponding code is 


GSMarkupTagWindow:
==========================
- (void)platformObjectInit
{
...
   NSLog(@"contentRect %@ style %d backingType %d", NSStringFromRect(contentRect), style, backingType);
   [self setPlatformObject:[_platformObject initWithContentRect:contentRect styleMask:style backing:backingType defer:NO]];
....
}

and the output of the log line is

2020-05-08 13:42:59.862 SOSmartBrowser[29363:29363] _rootTagObject <GSMarkupTagVBox: 0x86e5290> contentView  h=-&- v=-&- <GSVBox: 0xdce1550> f={x = 0; y = 0; width = 0; height = 0} b={x = 0; y = 0; width = 0; height = 0}
2020-05-08 11:43:19.108 SOObjectBrowser[28857:28857] contentRect {x = 20; y = 20; width = 1022; height = 1.00005e+07} style 15 backingType 2

Aha!! height = 1.00005e+07 looks a bit to large. Cocoa and the old GNUstep tree got a long with this request. The more recent code seems to be a bit pickier. :-)

I dived a little deeper into the code and found that the following NSView category method produces the unreasonable values.

- (NSSize)minimumSizeForContent
{
   NSRect oldFrame;
   NSSize minimumSize;

   /* Save the oldFrame.  */
   oldFrame = [self frame];

   /* Resize the view to fit the contents ... this is the only
      * way available in the AppKit to get the minimum size.  */
   [self sizeToFitContent];

   /* Get the minimum size by reading the frame.  */
   minimumSize = [self frame].size;
   /* Restore the original frame.  */
   [self setFrame:oldFrame];
   return minimumSize;
}

more explicitly

@implementation NSControl (sizeToContent)

- (void)sizeToFitContent
{
   [self sizeToFit];
}

@end

does and even more explicitly 

NSButton:: sizeToFit

pico ./Source/NSControl.m 

/**<p>Resizes the NSControl to fits the NSControl's cell size.</p> 
  <p>See Also: [NSCell-cellSize]</p>
 */
- (void) sizeToFit
{
  [self setFrameSize: [_cell cellSize]];
}

It turns out that the problem occurs on all forms that have NSButtons that have been customised with

    image = [[[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:path] autorelease];
if (image)
           {
            [someButton setImage:image];
   }


My first measure (ugly hack) was to do 

@implementation NSControl (sizeToContent)

- (void)sizeToFitContent
{
   [self sizeToFit];
   NSSize size = [self frame].size;
   if (size.height  > 10000.0)
     {
      NSLog(@"Got height %f. We correct this ...", size.height);
      [self setFrameSize: NSMakeSize(size.width, 24.0)]; // <-- just some phantaise value
     }
}

@end

This fixes the problem for me. The forms open and the app works nicely.

The academic question remains what makes NSControl::sizeToFit to fail so badly for buttons with images?

Since others have hit this as well (see one of my mails from yesterday) this should probably be addressed in the GNUstep code. Does this ring any bells?

Thanks a lot,

 Andreas
