Test Document (Microsoft Powerpoint)

We use LibreOffice for converting Microsoft Office and LibreOffice documents to PDF via UNO. After updating from 4.1.3 to 4.2.0, we noticed a substantially higher average conversion time (tested on Linux and Windows). I attached a document that illustrates the performance regression after updating:

Test Document: test.pptx:

In the interactive case, LibreOffice blocks during load, so the issue can be reproduced without using UNO. The increased load time is identical to what we experience when using UNO.

4.1.3.2:           1.5s
4.2.0.4:          39.7s
4.3.0.0-20140403:  0.1s* (async load?, random crashes)

For easier timing, the issue can be reproduced via UNO using the DocumentLoader sample provided in the SDK. Change the path to the input file in the makefile before running the command.

  time make DocumentLoader.run

For this to work, LibreOffice must be started as follows:

/opt/libreoffice<major>.<minor>/program/soffice --nofirststartwizard --nologo --headless --norestore --invisible "--accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2083,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;"


With the 4.3 development build, the load returns within 0.1s. I assume that some loading action is now performed asynchronously because the whole PDF generation process (load and export) takes approximately the same amount of time as with 4.1.3.2.

So it seems that the issue might have been fixed in a 4.3 development build. Can you confirm that? Are there plans to backport related changes?

The major catch in respect to 4.3 is, however, that LibreOffice crashes at random in case of the load and export sequence triggered via UNO (XComponentLoader::loadComponentFromURL, XStorable::storeToURL). The stack trace is as follows:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Relevant code here:
http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sfx2/source/sidebar/FocusManager.cxx#224
    224 void FocusManager::FocusDeckTitle (void)
    225 {
    226     if (mpDeckTitleBar != NULL)
    227     {
    228         if (IsDeckTitleVisible())
    229         {
    230             mpDeckTitleBar->GrabFocus();
    231         }
    232         else if (mpDeckTitleBar->GetToolBox().GetItemCount() > 0)
    233         {
    234             ToolBox& rToolBox = mpDeckTitleBar->GetToolBox();
    235             rToolBox.GrabFocus();
    236             rToolBox.Invalidate();
    237         }
    238         else
    239             FocusPanel(0, false);
    240     }
    241     else
    242         FocusPanel(0, false);
    243 }

Just an hypothesis but perhaps mpDeckTitleBar->GetToolBox() should be checked against null.
I'll give it a try tonight.
Comment 2 Julien Nabet 2014-04-08 19:34:21 UTC
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated yesterday, I could only try with this:
soffice "--accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2083;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager"
since with 
soffice --nofirststartwizard --nologo --headless --norestore --invisible "--accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2083,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;"
I got:
warn:binaryurp:30232:6:binaryurp/source/reader.cxx:126: caught UNO exception 'acc_socket.cxx:SocketConnection::read: error - Succᅢᄄs'
warn:binaryurp:30232:6:binaryurp/source/bridge.cxx:866: undisposed bridge, potential deadlock ahead

So with first option, pptx opened, then I exported in pdf without crash.
