[swift-users] Swift 4.0 LLDBFrontend Crash

Hi Michael,
No I am not evaluating an expression or anything. This all worked fine in
past builds.

I simply set a breakpoint in a function and after stopping while gathering
values for the debugger view, it crashes.

It doesn't crash in all functions, but it does crash when trying to stop in
many different functions.
An example function signature where it crashes is (DataView is a concrete
struct):

public func setupForward(mode: EvaluationMode, inData: DataView, labels:
DataView?,
                                 outData: inout DataView, backData: inout
DataView?) throws { ... }

Before calling the function, all of the parameters have valid values that I
can examine. But as soon as I step into this function, LLDB crashes with
that message. It behaves the same way with other functions that have
different signatures.

I tried to create a very simple repro case using this signature, but it
didn't crash. My project is on GitHub and this can be easily reproduced.
The only pain is installing my project on your test machine.

Ubuntu 16.04
Swift 4.0 release
NVidia gpu
Netlib https://github.com/ewconnell/Netlib/wiki#installation
CLion IDE with Swift plugin

1) do a debug build
2) set a breakpoint at CudaSoftmax.swift:44  or any line in the function
3) run
4) when it stops LLDBFrontend crashes

*LLDBFrontend:
/home/buildnode/jenkins/workspace/oss-swift-4.0-package-linux-ubuntu-16_04/swift/lib/SILOptimizer/Mandatory/AccessEnforcementSelection.cpp:613:
(anonymous namespace)::SourceAccess (anonymous
namespace)::AccessEnforcementSelection::getSourceAccess(swift::SILValue):
Assertion `isa<AllocStackInst>(address) || isa<SILUndef>(address)' failed.*
*Stack dump:*
*0. While running pass #10 SILModuleTransform ""Access Enforcement
Selection"".*


Using the LLDB CLI I am able to stop there. If I try "fr var -O" with

   - mode, inData, and labels, it prints their values no problem
   - outData and backData gives me a segmentation violation

The visible difference is the "inout"

Not sure what the problem is. It worked fine in the past.

If you can think of an experiment I can try to create a simple repro case,
please let me know.

Thanks, Ed
