Chris Wundram added a comment - 10/Oct/12 1:52 PM I managed to work around this. The problem was with the tcmalloc library. I replaced libtcmalloc_minimal-4.dll with a new dll with the same __tcmalloc export, and that resolved the issue.

Orfeas Zafeiris added a comment - 22/Oct/12 11:00 AM - edited For anyone interested this is a x64 version of a 'wrapper' for libtcmalloc. Just place it in your couchbase 'bin' directory and restart the couchbase service. If anyone wants the x86 version feel free to ask. http://www.mediafire.com/?xc8nurnxjqr8klb PS: Thanks to Chris Wundram for the hint!

Farshid Ghods added a comment - 06/Nov/12 11:26 AM assinging this to myself so that as documentation for now so that we upload this file after getting permission from the owner and share this with users

Bill Robertson added a comment - 28/Nov/12 2:42 PM Thanks Orfeas. I pulled the wrapper and replaced the dll in my folder and don't have the same constant failure errors. Windows 8 Pro 64bit.

Michael Elson added a comment - 07/Dec/12 1:54 PM I'm troubleshooting a similar problem. I wrote code that runs fine on win7 64x but when I run on win8 64x I get this error "bucket count must be a power of 2!". where do I get this tcmalloc dll file? and where do I put in on my machine? maybe I missing something, but the above posts say this could be a fix for win8 issues, but for the tcmallow NOOB I have no idea what to do. can you please share the basic info?

Michael Elson added a comment - 07/Dec/12 5:23 PM please allow me to quickly answer my own post here... the 64x file to download is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?xc8nurnxjqr8klb the file goes here: Just place it in your couchbase 'bin' directory and restart the couchbase service. I read too quickly in my hasty approach to continue coding. :-)

ldsenow added a comment - 20/Dec/12 5:49 PM Replace the libtcmalloc_minimal-4.dll worked for me in 2.0 beta version on Windows 8 after I have installed the 2.0 release version(tried both EE and CE), this trick does not make any difference. Now the service is started but I cant access to the Web console. Any idea why or work around?

Karen Zeller added a comment - 27/Mar/13 3:29 PM removing documentation as component until we know confirm something should be documented....

Chad Kreimendahl added a comment - 27/Mar/13 4:10 PM The title of this bug needs to change to be "memcached does not start on Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 because of bad tcmalloc binary". I don't believe the proper attention is being given to this issue, given that people running a released version of a windows server have to perform a workaround. The fix is unbelievably simple and still works on 2008r2, etc.

Sriram Melkote added a comment - 28/Mar/13 12:55 AM Windows 2012 is not yet supported, and so there's no proper binary. However, Windows 2012 support is a priority item for upcoming 2.0.2 release. I'll also link an early build here as soon as it is available in the next few weeks.

Maria McDuff added a comment - 01/Apr/13 5:17 PM per bug scrub: we'll continue to track win2012 for 2.0.2 release until the code freeze date but won't be a blocker for shipping 2.0.2. windows 8, however, will be a blocker though for the 2.0.2 release.

Maria McDuff added a comment - 16/Apr/13 1:31 PM siri still working on this.

Sriram Melkote added a comment - 23/Apr/13 12:04 PM Yes, definitely for 2.0.2 -- Win 2012 and Win 8. Production worthiness depends on how much testing QE does.

Maria McDuff added a comment - 29/Apr/13 8:59 PM - edited per bug mtg, we will not be supporting win8/win2012 for 2.0.2. deferring to 2.1.

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 06/May/13 1:51 PM Nailed. Expect tcmalloc patches attached here soon

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 06/May/13 3:04 PM - edited tcmalloc patches above are fixing this issue. They are rebased against our fork of tcmalloc.

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 06/May/13 3:05 PM Folks who need working dll right now can grab libtcmalloc_minimal-4.dll that's attached. It's x86-64 .dll that's built from upstream tcmalloc with earlier versions of attached patches applied.

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 06/May/13 3:07 PM Unaware that we've decide to move this out of 2.0.2 I spent some time on Friday and today and I believe fix this issue. Please allow this for 2.0.2. In case of positive decision I'd like this reassigned to Bin because he handles our fork of tcmalloc. So that he can grab my patches, apply and push to our repository.

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 07/May/13 1:50 PM Assigned back to Maria in case assignment to Mike is some accident. In case you really wanted to assign to Mike, please explain why. I see no reason for this.

Mike Wiederhold added a comment - 07/May/13 3:31 PM Alk, Maria and Yassen just want me to look at the changes you have and if all looks good I would assign this to bin to get the changes merged into the 2.0.2 code base. Please add me to review when you have a chance.

Mike Wiederhold added a comment - 07/May/13 3:51 PM I just reviewed Alk's changes. They require specific knowledge of visual studio and how code is compiled on windows. They look ok to me, but I lack context in that area so I'm not the best person to ask. Alk seems to have run all of the tests too so I think it makes sense to move forward with more extensive testing.

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 07/May/13 5:30 PM This stuff is merged upstream now btw

Mike Wiederhold added a comment - 07/May/13 5:36 PM Bin, Please merge the following 2 changes from 3/7 which are on alk's github. https://github.com/alk/gperftools/commits/wip-win-patching

Aleksey Kondratenko added a comment - 07/May/13 5:37 PM No best place is to grab them from attachments here. Attachments are specifically rebased on top of our version of tcmalloc

Bin Cui added a comment - 08/May/13 11:48 AM It is merged to couchbase/gperftools commit 44a584d1de8c89addfb4f1d0522bdbbbed83ba48 Author: Aliaksey Kandratsenka < alkondratenko@gmail.com > Date: Tue May 7 17:22:42 2013 -0700     issue-511: implemented rel8 jump patching     I've found that Visual Studio 2012 release 32-bit C runtime library     patching fails because array new has rel8 jmp which previous code     could not handle.     Implementation is largely copied from conditional jumps handling code.     Apparently Windows Server 2012 (and presumably windows 8) now has this     form of iat jump. Which is quite useless (rex.w in according to my     understanding is not needed at all) but because of rex.w our code to     recognize jumps like that didn't work.     Fix is just skip this prefix.

Anil Kumar added a comment - 09/May/13 8:53 PM maria, can you assign this bug to QE who is going to test this.

Maria McDuff added a comment - 13/May/13 11:00 PM Tony, pls verify / close in win8/2k12.

Thuan Nguyen added a comment - 28/May/13 9:00 PM Tested on build 2.0.2-811, memcached process runs ok after installation
