#272 latest macOS version can't import data in Stata .dta files
In macOS, opening a datafile in Stata .dta format causes GRETL to crash.
I'm using gretl 2022a
macOS (arm64, gtk2)
build date 2022-02-02
I've experienced this problem on two computers, an M1 MacBook Air (late 2020) and a 14" MacBook Pro (2021).
I've tried this with several .dta files on both computers. In Stata, these files open successfully.
When I attempt to open a .dta file in GRETL, GRETL seems to freeze for a few seconds; sometimes I get the spinning beach ball, other times nothing. After approximately 10 seconds, GRETL goes away. macOS gives me a (very long & detailed) crash report. I've pasted it below. Thanks so much for any information or help.

Could you please post a dta file that provokes the crash? Thanks.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I've found that GRETL on my two computers does open some .dta files and not others.
Here's one that crashes GRETL.
Thanks. Your cps12.dta opens OK on Linux -- and the valgrind memory checker shows no problems -- so I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I can try it on a Mac before I can comment further. I'll be able to do that when I get home, in 10 days.
Maybe we can collect a little more information on the problem in the meantime, FWIW. Ron, do I understand correctly that one of your Macs is one with a M1/ARM CPU, but the other one isn't? Could you perhaps say which version of Mac OS your computers are running?
We could ask some Mac users on the gretl mailing list to try out your example file, maybe that would show some pattern.
Thanks! Both of my macs have the M1 processor. I have not tried this on a
Mac with an Intel processor.

Thanks, that's interesting. I guess the working hypothesis is then that it only happens with ARM Macs, but it remains to be verified. We'll probably ask other people on Intel Macs to try your file.
The hypothesis is already falsified, a colleague on an Intel Mac is seeing a crash with your example file as well.
Here's a .dta file that does not crash GRETL
Thanks, this is useful.
The difference between this file and the other one you posted earlier is that this one is recognised by gretl as version 8, whereas the one that provoked the crash is identified as version 117. Internally, we separate code for the two cases. It looks as if we have some machine-dependent issue when we read the newer format (the header or the data, or both).
When I extract data from IPUMS in the form of a .dta file, it crashes GRETL on my macs every time.
But my research partner can successfully open these same files in GRETL on her Windows computer.
Here's something that could be useful in debugging: trying to open cps12.dta using gretlcli. I think the following command, executed in a Terminal window, should do it. (You may have to specify the full path to the dta file.)
When I do the equivalent on on Linux I see the response shown below. It would be interesting to know how much, if any, of it can be seen on macOS before the crash occurs.
Hi all,
This is the report from the gretlcli command on my Intel Mac:

I hope this may help!
Best regards,
Luca
Last edit: Allin Cottrell 2022-07-15
Thanks to Luca for testing. I've now posted a snapshot with some more debugging info for dta importation. If Luca (or someone else) could re-try opening the file with gretlcli, hopefully we'll learn some more about where the crash is.
Something weird just happened…I’ve downloaded the new snapshot and now
opening that problematic .dta file doesn’t trigger the crash anymore…it
works fine. Should I attach the gretlcli report?
Last edit: Allin Cottrell 2022-07-15
Thanks, Luca, that's interesting. Besides the extra debugging I also made a few minor changes but I didn't expect them to prevent the crash. Anyway, please go ahead and attach the gretlcli report just in case I see anything informative.
Here’s the report!
Best regards,
Luca

Thanks, Luca. So it looks like we're OK now. Maybe Ron can re-check on an M1 mac (or I can do that when I get home).
I installed the snapshot Allin posted Friday. It seems to have solved my
problem. I was successfully able to import many different .dta files,
including the one I sent you last week as an example of a file that crashed
GRETL when I tried to import it.
I did experience one crash--not when importing a .dta file but when saving
a somewhat large .dta file I'd imported to a .gdt file. Sorry, I did not
save the crash report that macOS generated However, I tried again, and it
worked perfectly the second time, and I have been unable to replicate that
crash.

Wow, I am not just grateful but so amazed and impressed that you all are so
responsive to bug reports and so dedicated to making GRETL the best it can
be. Thank you all!!
Is there a way I can support the further development of GRETL?

#272Hi Ron, glad that it works for you and thanks for the bug report. Actually, bug reports and following up with tests are a very useful and practical way to help development, so you could just continue with that! Apart from that, there's the gretl Association, see https://gretl-assoc.github.io/en/. This is still a quite small institution, but you could either become a member or make a donation if you like.
I'm going to close this ticket in a second, but posts are still possible, or you could contact us directly if needed. Thanks.
This is fixed and tested, so closing it.
