Parcel 2.12.0 malloc(): corrupted top size in Node 22.7.0

[aminya]

🐛 bug report

In Node 22.7.0 (not older versions), parcel now fails with this error

pnpm exec parcel build --target html ./src/browser/index.html
malloc(): corrupted top size

I get more info here:

I can concur. My error message was slightly more verbose (“set a breakpoint in malloc etc.”). Switching back to stable node v20.17.0 restores functionality. Works too with pnpm 9.8. On a second machine, I still have pnpm 22.6.0. That continues to function properly too.

Yep, have the same issue. Can be reproduced like this:

mkdir reproduction
cd reproduction
yarn add parcel@2.12.0
touch example.html
yarn run parcel example.html

Full output:

yarn run v1.22.22
warning package.json: No license field

Parcel isn't usable on the newest node version right now, at least for me.

I get similar issues in an isolated container (docker run --rm -it node sh), so I don't think its anything peculiar about my system. The errors read like this:

• [Error: Invalid argument]
• malloc(): corrupted top size
• malloc(): invalid size (unsorted)

It crashed:

yarn run v1.22.22
$ rm -rf .parcel-cache && parcel src/index.html --dist-dir docs

➜  r3f-tutorial git:(main) ✗ node --version
v22.7.0

For now I just downgrade Node.js to 20.x and I am good.

Running parcel builds in https://hub.docker.com/r/amd64/node

• works on 22.6.0-alpine
• segfaults on 22.7.0-alpine

[devongovett]

Can someone try running in a debugger (e.g. lldb or gdb) and report the backtrace where the segfault is occurring? We have not changed anything in Parcel so I'm wondering if it is our bug or Node's.

lldb `which node` ./node_modules/.bin/parcel YOUR_ARGUMENTS_HERE

Then type run and press enter. Once it crashes, run bt to show the backtrace and paste the result here.

I found the function that triggers this error in Nodejs. It seems it was changed last week in a commit to update V8:

https://github.com/nodejs/node/blame/4f1c27af8c09c45ac7dcb7c48146aa9392cebde8/deps/v8/src/ic/ic.cc#L251

This is where the error actually happens:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/blame/4f1c27af8c09c45ac7dcb7c48146aa9392cebde8/deps/v8/src/objects/feedback-vector.cc#L1125

Reported it upstream:
nodejs/node#54573

This seems like a possible v8 bug. I am seeing crashes in multiple different stack traces having to do with string handling. Hopefully they'll investigate soon. nodejs/node#54573 (comment)

Same here...

node -v
v22.7.0

npm -v
10.8.2

pnpm -v
9.6.0

pnpm exec parcel --version
2.12.0

pnpm build

would be great if anyone could give a hint how to get the app back running

[devongovett]

For now, the solution is to downgrade to node 22.6. We are waiting from someone from the node/v8 team to investigate. AFAICT this is not a parcel bug but a bug in node and/or v8.

[gmarinov]

also getting similar errors with node 22.8 - either crashes or "Incorrect checksum for freed object".
node 22.6 works.

[talaviram]

Getting same issue with 22.7 or newer (including 22.8) on macOS / M1.

[jlorenc1986]

same issue on macOS/M1

• npm 10.8.2
• node 22.8.0

Segmentation fault: 11 parcel build index.html --public-url './'

• node 22.9.0

I've downgraded to Node 22.6 but am still running into this error

yarn 4.5.0
node 22.6.0
macos sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224)

yarn start

Edit: With node@22.6 it failed with yarn 4.5.0 but worked with npm

[devongovett]

Update: I've reduced this to a simple reproduction in Node. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of node internals is able to fix it out soon! nodejs/node#54573 (comment)

[ramidzkh]

No longer occurs with Node v23.0.0

[joscha]

No longer occurs with Node v23.0.0

according to streetmix/streetmix#3232 bumping node to 22.10.0 should be enough already, so you can stay on a LTS version.

[lukas-cc]

Yes both 22.10 and 23 include the fix.

[foxt]

+1, changed node:22.6.0-alpine back to node:alpine in our build scripts and it's still working 🎉

[devongovett]

Thanks for confirming everyone! Going to close this out.
