avalanchego: 1.4.10 crashes with `Illegal Instruction`
Describe the bug The docker image for 1.4.10 quits immediately with an “Illegal instruction” error. No such problem in any of the previous versions, including 1.4.9.
To Reproduce Run avalanchego
Expected behavior It should run fine.

Hi all, we’re looking into this issue and will patch it in the next release. In the mean time, you can continue to use v1.4.9. Sorry for the trouble.
@danlaine the
evmbinary that is being built with the current version of that branch depends on a version ofavalanchegowith the initial version ofrocksdb(without the build tag switch). So when theevmbinary runs it’s crashing with the same illegal instruction. I think we just need to bump theevm’s dependency onavalanchegoThis should be resolved in v1.4.11
Please re-open if this is still a problem, and thanks for reporting
Just to confirm @StephenButtolph point
but if i manipulate coreth go.mod to my local copy and build
So i think this fix is good and needs to be merged and subsequent to that it’ll need coreth bumping and avalanchego updating to it.
@aphexmunky thanks, that seems to be part of BMI2 instruction set which 1.4.10 also seems to require. My N3710 doesn’t support that instruction set either. In your case, the CPU is able to skip the first AVX instruction because it supports it, but crashes at the BMI2 instruction.
@ssg
@aphexmunky, that’s a different call stack than mine, so that probably means 1.4.10 requires more than just AVX, maybe AVX2 too? Can you disassemble the crash dump location with GDB to find out the breaking instruction? The
disassemblecommand starts at the beginning of the function for a given address, the actual instruction is marked with a=>at the beginning of the line. In your dump, it should be at0x00000000012eb1ff.I’m having this error only on an older PC i’m using. It’s an AMD FX-8350 and apparently supports AVX
gdb points to this part specifically, full logs below
I have the same error on my Celeron N3160 CPU. Not using docker, I just downloaded and untared the binary and also tried building avalanchego myself on Ubuntu 20.04. 1.4.9 still works fine.
