Commented Unassigned: Access Violation Exception in v8-x64.dll [115]

Hi!
We launched a new site last week that uses ClearScript to server render a React application. After launch, we get around 2-3 crashes on Access Violation Exception in w3wp.exe a day per web server. The site has around 200 concurrent users on average, with peaks up over a thousand. We use the latest version of ClearScript (5.4.7).

We see that the crash is an Access Violation Exception in v8-x64.dll and we have a few dump files from such crashes, but since we don't have any debugging symbols the stack traces doesn't give us much.

Would you be interested in looking at the crash dumps to help us figure this out? Or if you can help us with debug symbols so we can get more information out of the dumps.

Some information about how we use ClearScript:
1. We create multiple V8Runtime and V8ScriptEngine and keep them in a queue. When a request comes in, we dequeue an engine, run JS and return it back to the queue.
2. Since we don't store any JS globals we reuse the same V8 context for different visitors. But we run CollectGarbage(true) for every 30 execution. We have deployed a change this morning where we call CollectGarbage(false) instead but twice as often. Not because we think it will solve it, but see if the behavior changes.
3. We don't pass any CLR references to V8. The only thing we do is call Engine.Execute with strings of JS code. When we pass data to V8 we do that by either calling Engine.Execute or Engine.Evaluate with strings of JSON.

Any help or pointers are appreciated! We'd be happy to share code with you if you need it.
Comments: As I'm reading my own comments I see that I might come off as a bit aggressive which is very much not my intention. We are very greatful for this project (and we evaluated more than one C#2JS project before choosing ClearScript) and it works great. We're just happy that we've managed to solve the crashes and now wonder what the best approach is for keeping memory use in check without having to recreate engines and runtimes too often (as it's not a cheap operation).

Comments: Hi again, ​ >At first we had ~20 engines and runtimes that we never disposed, we just called CollectGarbage(true) on them for every 30 execution. This gave a slow buildup of memory. About one GB an hour. This gave us Access Violation crashes every 2-6 hours. ​ We'd still like to see a stack for that, preferably with symbols, although it _sounds_ as if a runtime is simply running out of memory. Even the 64-bit V8 limits runtimes to about 1.5 GB by default, and in our experience there's only so far you can push it by adjusting the constraints, as V8 appears to have a number of fixed-size internal buffers that aren't under the host's control. It also reserves huge blocks of address space for each runtime, although that shouldn't be a problem in 64-bit. In any case, V8 seems to treat all resource exhaustion conditions as fatal and potentially process-corrupting, so its response is always to kill the process immediately via an unrecoverable access violation. ​ >We only use ScriptEngine.Execute and ScriptEngine.Evaluate when we pass in JSON. For the main chunk of code we precompile at startup. ​ Can you elaborate on that? What calls do you make to precompile the code? Subsequently, how do you invoke the precompiled code? And how do you pass JSON to it? A couple of small samples might help identify potential optimizations. ​ >As I'm reading my own comments I see that I might come off as a bit aggressive which is very much not my intention. ​ Not at all! We're very interested in making ClearScript useful on the server, and we appreciate your help! Cheers!

Comments: We have a few dumps from the crashes. But without symbols unfortunately because we fixed it before we got around to adding symbols. And we haven't been aböe to reproduce it locally. The dumps are a few GB unzipped, what would be the best way to send them to you? When creating a new runtime/engine pair we compile the main bundle and execute it once using Runtime.Compile and Engine.Execute. The main bundle exposes a few global functions that we later call like this: var html = Engine.Evaluate<string>("renderToString(" + modelJson + ")"); Where renderToString is such a method and modelJson is a C# view model serialized to a JSON string.

Comments: >The dumps are a few GB unzipped, what would be the best way to send them to you? ​ Without symbols it's probably not worth it, especially if the crash occurs in V8 code. We'll be happy to look at a stack if you can get one by opening one of the dumps in Visual Studio, but it isn't likely to be helpful without symbols. ​ >var html = Engine.Evaluate<string>("renderToString(" + modelJson + ")"); ​ This suggestion may have little effect on your site's responsiveness, memory usage, or uptime, but consider that you are in fact invoking V8's JavaScript parser every time you call `renderToString` as shown above. This could be significant if, as you say, you're processing large JSON models. Instead, consider installing the following additional function at startup: ``` C# Engine.Execute(@" function renderJsonToString(modelJson) { return renderToString(JSON.parse(modelJson)); } "); ``` And then invoking it as follows: ``` C# var html = (string)engine.Script.renderJsonToString(modelJson); ``` This way you avoid parsing a script just to call a function, and you process your model with V8's JSON parser, which is much faster than its JavaScript parser.

Comments: Hi! We haven't had any crashes now since sunday, but today we got a new crash right after deploying a new version of the site. So it probably wasn't related to high memory use like we suspect that the previous crashes was (suspect but we're not 100% sure). Here's the stack trace we got from the dump: ``` v8-x64.dll!00007ffb36653a93() Unknown v8-x64.dll!00007ffb366d02fd() Unknown ClearScriptV8-64.dll!00007ffb35d93a3d() Unknown ClearScriptV8-64.dll!00007ffb35d93514() Unknown ClearScriptV8-64.dll!00007ffb35d913ff() Unknown [Managed to Native Transition] ClearScriptV8-64.dll!<Module>.std._Func_class<void>.()(std._Func_class<void>* value) Unknown ClearScriptV8-64.dll!Microsoft.ClearScript.V8.NativeCallbackImpl.Invoke() Unknown ClearScript.dll!Microsoft.ClearScript.Util.MiscHelpers.Try(System.Action action) Unknown ClearScript.dll!Microsoft.ClearScript.Util.NativeCallbackTimer.OnTimer(object state) Unknown mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, object state, bool preserveSyncCtx) Unknown mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(System.Threading.ExecutionContext executionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback callback, object state, bool preserveSyncCtx) Unknown mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.TimerQueueTimer.CallCallback() Unknown mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.TimerQueueTimer.Fire() Unknown mscorlib.dll!System.Threading.TimerQueue.FireNextTimers() Unknown [Native to Managed Transition] kernel32.dll!00007ffb659713d2() Unknown ntdll.dll!00007ffb67e454e4() Unknown ``` Is this actionable for you?

Comments: The stack is quite specific but not really actionable; in fact, it looks like it might be a V8 issue. V8 has a mechanism whereby, during script execution, it sometimes tells the host, "Hey, call me back in about N seconds". V8's API documentation says nothing about the purpose of these deferred tasks, but they usually have to do with resource cleanup of one kind or another. The stack indicates that ClearScript is calling back to V8 to perform such a task, and apparently V8 crashed. Have you been able to get symbols for v8-x64.dll and ClearScriptV8-64.dll? Knowing what V8 was trying to do when it crashed could help identify a workaround.

New Post: Code Caching

Hi,

Does ClearScript support code caching?

I am running v8 (using ClearScript and ReactJS.net) on asp.net and the first request takes about 10 second to run all the code and then subsequent requests takes about 200ms.

I profiled it and saw the v8 takes 90% of this 10 seconds, I suspect that if there is a way to expose v8 code caching I would able to build code cache on build time (using MSBuild step) and then later use the code cache.

Is this supported? and does it relates to: https://clearscript.codeplex.com/discussions/560532 ?

Description

ClearScript is a library that makes it easy to add scripting to your .NET applications. It currently supports JavaScript (via V8 and JScript) and VBScript.

Features

  • Simple usage; create a script engine, add your objects and/or types, run scripts
  • Support for several script engines: Google's V8, Microsoft's JScript and VBScript
  • Exposed resources require no modification, decoration, or special coding of any kind
  • Scripts get simple access to most of the features of exposed objects and types:
    • Methods, properties, fields, events
    • (Objects) Indexers, extension methods, conversion operators, explicitly implemented interfaces
    • (Types) Constructors, nested types
  • Full support for generic types and methods, including C#-like type inference and explicit type arguments
  • Scripts can invoke methods with output parameters, optional parameters, and parameter arrays
  • Script delegates enable callbacks into script code
  • Support for exposing all the types defined in one or more assemblies in one step
  • Optional support for importing types and assemblies from script code
  • The host can invoke script functions and access script objects directly
  • Full support for script debugging

Examples

using System;
using Microsoft.ClearScript;
using Microsoft.ClearScript.JavaScript;
using Microsoft.ClearScript.V8;

// create a script engineusing (var engine = new V8ScriptEngine())
{
    // expose a host type
    engine.AddHostType("Console", typeof(Console));
    engine.Execute("Console.WriteLine('{0} is an interesting number.', Math.PI)");

    // expose a host object
    engine.AddHostObject("random", new Random());
    engine.Execute("Console.WriteLine(random.NextDouble())");

    // expose entire assemblies
    engine.AddHostObject("lib", new HostTypeCollection("mscorlib", "System.Core"));
    engine.Execute("Console.WriteLine(lib.System.DateTime.Now)");

    // create a host object from script
    engine.Execute(@"
        birthday = new lib.System.DateTime(2007, 5, 22);
        Console.WriteLine(birthday.ToLongDateString());
    ");

    // use a generic class from script
    engine.Execute(@"
        Dictionary = lib.System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary;
        dict = new Dictionary(lib.System.String, lib.System.Int32);
        dict.Add('foo', 123);
    ");

    // call a host method with an output parameter
    engine.AddHostObject("host", new HostFunctions());
    engine.Execute(@"
        intVar = host.newVar(lib.System.Int32);
        found = dict.TryGetValue('foo', intVar.out);
        Console.WriteLine('{0} {1}', found, intVar);
    ");

    // create and populate a host array
    engine.Execute(@"
        numbers = host.newArr(lib.System.Int32, 20);
        for (var i = 0; i < numbers.Length; i++) { numbers[i] = i; }
        Console.WriteLine(lib.System.String.Join(', ', numbers));
    ");

    // create a script delegate
    engine.Execute(@"
        Filter = lib.System.Func(lib.System.Int32, lib.System.Boolean);
        oddFilter = new Filter(function(value) {
            return (value & 1) ? true : false;
        });
    ");

    // use LINQ from script
    engine.Execute(@"
        oddNumbers = numbers.Where(oddFilter);
        Console.WriteLine(lib.System.String.Join(', ', oddNumbers));
    ");

    // use a dynamic host object
    engine.Execute(@"
        expando = new lib.System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject();
        expando.foo = 123;
        expando.bar = 'qux';
        delete expando.foo;
    ");

    // call a script function
    engine.Execute("function print(x) { Console.WriteLine(x); }");
    engine.Script.print(DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek);

    // examine a script object
    engine.Execute("person = { name: 'Fred', age: 5 }");
    Console.WriteLine(engine.Script.person.name);

    // read a JavaScript typed array
    engine.Execute("values = new Int32Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])");
    var values = (ITypedArray<int>)engine.Script.values;
    Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", values.ToArray()));

Edited Issue: [BUG] Crash when calling Interrupt() at bad time [112]

Hello,

we are having issues with a portion of code that basically provokes an exception in user code called by clearscript, and then calls Interrupt on the V8 engine.

It always crashes. Isn't this scenario supposed to function properly ? (I mean, Interrupt should not crash... ?)

Should I explicitely wait before Interrupting in this case ? (but this would be some sort of workaround?)

Cdlt,
Julien.

btw: reproduced on ClearScript 5.4.6 (Nuget version)

```
[Test]
public virtual void TestScriptTerminateCrash()
{
var ctx = new PropertyBag();
using (var engine = new V8ScriptEngine("CrashScript"))
{
engine.AddHostObject("context", ctx);

var eventW = new ManualResetEventSlim(initialState: false);
var tokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();

// start notification only
var startEvent = new ManualResetEventSlim(false);

ThreadStart main = () =>
{
try
{

ctx["waitCode"] = new Action(() =>
{
// Waiting in the C# code : a cancel exception is generated here
eventW.Wait(tokenSource.Token);

});
ctx["startEvent"] = startEvent;
ctx["counter"] = 0;
try
{
System.DateTime dtRun = System.DateTime.UtcNow;
engine.Execute("dummyDocument.js", @"
// Start
context.counter = 1;

context.startEvent.Set();

context.counter = 2;

Commented Unassigned: Access Violation Exception in v8-x64.dll [115]

November 2, 2016, 5:43 am
$
0

Hi!
We launched a new site last week that uses ClearScript to server render a React application. After launch, we get around 2-3 crashes on Access Violation Exception in w3wp.exe a day per web server. The site has around 200 concurrent users on average, with peaks up over a thousand. We use the latest version of ClearScript (5.4.7).

We see that the crash is an Access Violation Exception in v8-x64.dll and we have a few dump files from such crashes, but since we don't have any debugging symbols the stack traces doesn't give us much.

Would you be interested in looking at the crash dumps to help us figure this out? Or if you can help us with debug symbols so we can get more information out of the dumps.

Some information about how we use ClearScript:
1. We create multiple V8Runtime and V8ScriptEngine and keep them in a queue. When a request comes in, we dequeue an engine, run JS and return it back to the queue.
2. Since we don't store any JS globals we reuse the same V8 context for different visitors. But we run CollectGarbage(true) for every 30 execution. We have deployed a change this morning where we call CollectGarbage(false) instead but twice as often. Not because we think it will solve it, but see if the behavior changes.
3. We don't pass any CLR references to V8. The only thing we do is call Engine.Execute with strings of JS code. When we pass data to V8 we do that by either calling Engine.Execute or Engine.Evaluate with strings of JSON.

Any help or pointers are appreciated! We'd be happy to share code with you if you need it.
Comments: Please consider updating to ClearScript 5.4.8, which is paired with a newer version of V8. In the meantime, since we can't reproduce the crash and we haven't received any new information over the last two weeks, we're closing this issue.
