Steps of reproduction

1. $ compton
2. <C-c> or pkill -2 compton

Expected behavior

Graceful termination

Current Behavior

Can you build compton with debug info so the stack trace can be more useful?

[Ropid]

I see that bug here as well.

Here's my stack trace:

$ build/src/compton --version

Can you build compton with debug info so the stack trace can be more useful?

Sure, if you can tell me how to build with debug symbols. I'm building from AUR package, I tried changing --buildtype=release to debug, passing CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and CPPFLAGS with -g, and modifying meson.build file with the same options, but it still generates make-release.sh file instead of debug and objdump /usr/bin/compton --syms shows no symbols.
Using the short gdb instructions from new issue template, I get this, if this is any useful:

Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

@Ropid I pushed a change that should fix your crash.

@sooqua Can you try the latest next and see if it fix your problem as well?

^C[1] 18549 segmentation fault (core dumped) compton
Nope

$ compton --version
v6-rc1-226-g6cb5f97

[yshui]

@sooqua if you build from AUR, you need to add options=('!strip') to your PKGBUILD to get debug symbols

[Ropid]

I'm now seeing this output here when I interrupt it:

$ build/src/compton
^CX Error of failed request:  GLXBadPixmap
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  23 (X_GLXDestroyPixmap)
  Serial number of failed request:  5633
  Current serial number in output stream:  5640

It does not crash, there's no segfault or anything. I'm just worrying about that output. It looks a bit concerning.

When I send a TERM signal (using pkill compton) instead of an INT signal, then it prints the following:

$ build/src/compton
Terminated

The version is this:

$ build/src/compton --version
v6-rc1-226-g6cb5f97

It doesn't seem to crash under gdb, am I doing something wrong?

Okay, took some gdb courses. Here:

@sooqua Thanks for your help.

Fixed in next.
