Emacs crashes

For some days I opened this issue (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195913) which I closed myself, because I thougt it was solved. But it isn't. I'm experiencing emacs crashes. I think (but I am not sure) this began with the last big update of gtk3.

I compiled emacs with debug options and got now this backtrace (http://pastie.org/10111821). Can anyone interpret this? Or should I ask the emacs people?

I can not manage to reproduce exactly the crash, but it always happens when I save a buffer in a console in which I open a emacsclient with emacsclient -nw...

Many thanks in advance!

Re: Emacs crashes

Ah, you use [multilib]. I think from the backtrace this should go to the Arch Linux bugtracker.

Hi rogorido,

by any chance is your cpu an Intel Haswell?
If it is, try to update the microcode https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microcode

Thanks for your answer, but no. I have AMD.

What is the best way to compile emacs with all debug info enabled?

Take a look at the wiki, it is described quite well https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … ing_Traces.

Yes, it is described quite well, but I dont get really useful debug traces with emacs...
