"Abort trap: 6" error in Swift 2 with Xcode 7 beta-1

Messing around a bit, I think the Abort Trap: 6 error during compile is the result of failed assertions in the Swift compiler.

So different bugs could be causing different assertions to fail, but generating the same overall error.

I filed a bug report based on my own situation. Hopefully more people will submit bug reports and Apple will coalesce them. Here's the info:

Bug ID: 21376523

Title: Adding property of type SCNVector3 yields "Abort trap: 6" error

Classification: Serious Bug

Reproducibility: Always

Description:

When using Swift 2 with Xcode 7 beta-1 (7A120f), with SceneKit, using SCNVector3 produces "Abort trap: 6" compile error. This happens whether a project is migrated from (Swift 1.2 + Xcode 6.3) to (Swift 2 + Xcode 7.0), or with a fresh Swift 2 + Xcode 7.0 project. Error text is below:

Stack dump:

1. While emitting IR SIL function @_TToFC18AbortTrapTestSwift18GameViewControllers1pVSC10SCNVector3 for 'p' at /Users/bstahl/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Developer/Code/AbortTrapTestSwift/AbortTrapTestSwift/GameViewController.swift:14:6

Steps to reproduce:

Setup: Install Xcode 7.0 (7A120f). Check for current SDKs and documentation in Preferences and install.

1. Create a brand-new project in Xcode 7 beta-1. Type is "Game", Language is "Swift", Game Technology is "SceneKit".

2. Build and run with default settings. Project builds and runs fine in simulator (you will see the default rotating 3D spaceship model).

3. Add a single SCNVector3 property to the gamecontroller in GameViewController.swift, like this:

class GameViewController: UIViewController {

var p = SCNVector3Zero

--> Produces "Abort trap: 6". Project will no longer compile.

4. Change the constant to an empty initializer.

class GameViewController: UIViewController {

var p = SCNVector3()

--> Same problem, "Abort trap: 6"

5. Remove property, restoring to the clean project state. "Abort trap: 6" is gone, project again compiles and runs.

6. Change "var" to "let".

class GameViewController: UIViewController {

let p = SCNVector4Zero

-- > Compiles and runs.

7. Change property type to SCNVector4 instead of SCNVector3.

class GameViewController: UIViewController {

var p = SCNVector4Zero

-- > Compiles and runs.

Expected results: Project should compile and run. Before adding SCNVector3 property, project already runs, therefore it should already be using SceneKit and its associated type.

Actual results: Project will not compile and exits with "Abort trap: 6" error. There are no suggestions for fixing the problem.

Additional information:

Bug DOES NOT occur if:

- property "var" is changed to "let".

- property type is changed from SCNVector3 type to SCNVector4 type ("var" or "let").

- property declaration is removed from project.

- project is created and compiled under Swift 1.2 in Xcode 6.3.X

Bug STILL occurs if:

- property uses an initializer instead of SCNVector3Zero ("var p = SCNVector3()").

See my thread here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/6135#6135

It also involves the use of SCNVector3 (as a mere parameter), leading to the dreaded "Abort trap: 6" error.

Adding a ! like so seems to have worked.

func normalize(vec: SCNVector3!) -> SCNVector3! {

// code

}

very odd

I find the similar error happens when using AVAudio3DPoint. And in my case, it happens only for 64-bit targets.

And you can reproduce it with declaring functions with AVAudio3DPoint param.

Assertion failed: ((IGF.IGM.DataLayout.getTypeSizeInBits(coercionTy) == IGF.IGM.DataLayout.getTypeSizeInBits(paramTI.StorageType)) && "Coerced types should not differ in size!"), function emitDirectExternalParameter, file /Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/swiftlang/swiftlang-700.0.38.1/src/swift/lib/IRGen/IRGenSIL.cpp, line 908.

Seems to be an alignment problem?

I haven't tested it yet, but it appears they have fixed this in Xcode 7.0 beta-2. Yay! The bug # given is the same they gave me when they closed my bug report as a duplicate.

My code containing AVAudio3DPoint compiles well with beta 2: Version 7.0 beta (7A121l).
