Hashtable write error on exit

[chuckyvt]

recursive subroutine free_map_entry_pool(pool) seems to be the free memory routine that is causing the error.

Thank you @chuckyvt for reporting the issue.

I used ifx 2024.0.2 and I could not run even the following simple program:

program main

use stdlib_hashmaps, only: chaining_hashmap_type
use stdlib_hashmap_wrappers, only: fnv_1_hasher
    
implicit none
 
call hash_test

contains

subroutine hash_test
    
    type(chaining_hashmap_type) :: map
    
    call map%init(fnv_1_hasher)
    
end subroutine hash_test

end program main

I got the following error on my Fedora computer:

Could you test it on your computer, please?
I am wondering if it is not a bug of the compiler itself.

[jvdp1]

Update: it seems to be a more general issue: see here for more details.

[chuckyvt]

Interesting. I'm on Windows, and I believe IFX for Linux has more detailed memory sanitizer features, so I am not seeing this. I will say I have tested the posted code snippet with IFX, IFort, and GFortran 13.2 and see the same behavior for all. So at this point, it doesn't seem to be compiler specific.

[jvdp1]

Strange. I can compile and run the posted code snippet with GCC 12.2.1. on my Fedora computer.

Do you have similar problems with the stdlib tests or examples? All of them are tested with GCC 13 in the CI (Linux and Windows).

[chuckyvt]

Ok, so I think I have this run to ground. Long story short, the failure is due to a stack overflow as best I can tell, though the program doesn't say that. (Just returns a memory access error vs a specific stack overflow message I'm used to). This would explain the different behavior between Linux and Windows. I have increased the stack size and now runs ok.

As a side note, since on the stdlib test cases the hashtable is at the main program level, the final procedure is never called in the checks I put together. Structuring a test case so that the hastable is in a subroutine or similar may be a decent idea to include at some point.

Thank you @chuckyvt for clarifying and closing the issue.

Good point. Don't hesitate to submit a PR with such a test. Otherwise I'll try to do it.
