bcftools 1.10 Unexpected type 0

[bryce-turner]

After testing with the latest release (1.10) we've encountered an error when using bcftools view and filter:

chr1 17000202 . A C . clustered_events;haplotype;normal_artifact;strand_bias CONTQ=64;DP=125;ECNT=3;GERMQ=93;MBQ=17,29;MFRL=193,164;MMQ=60,60;MPOS=6;NALOD=-0.8027;NLOD=15.98;POPAF=6;ROQ=69;SEQQ=53;STRANDQ=1;TLOD=11.37 GT:AD:AF:DP:F1R2:F2R1:PGT:PID:PS:SB 0|1:38,6:0.143:44:8,3:4,1:0|1:17000202_A_C:17000202:8,30,6,0 0|0:68,1:0.028:69:12,1:22,0:0|1:17000[E::bcf_fmt_array] Unexpected type 0

However if we look at this same line with zcat we see:

We don't encounter this [E::bcf_fmt_array] Unexpected type 0 when using bcftools 1.9 though.

I am unable to reproduce the error with the header and the data line you provided. What is the exact command you are running? Any chance you could provide a test case?

[PedalheadPHX]

happy to provide the example file, do you have a DM link for the files?

[pd3]

Thank you for the test case. The problem was introduced when 64-bit support was added to htslib. A minimal example to reproduce the problem:

[jmarshall]

Is it the case that the problematic line (from which Petr has distilled a minimal example) is in fact the line following the chr1 17000202 . A C line shown in @TGEN-BTurner's original report? (And if so it would be great if you'd use zcat to post that line here too.)

(Or it may be several lines further on — the way that line has been clipped at …|1:17000 suggests that the ‘final’ line of output you're seeing is an artefact of stdout buffering.)

[jkbonfield]

Indeed we still haven't seen the original data which triggered the whole problem. @pd3 - was the MPOS field you constructed for your example the same name and value that was culled from the test data you were provided? This would really help in a bug report to know that the issue we found and fixed is infact the same one. @TGEN-BTurner can you please check whether PR samtools/htslib#1000 fixes your problem?

[bryce-turner]

I can confirm that samtools/htslib#1000 fixes the problem. I tested on a different sample than before but here is a before and after the fix being applied:

[jkbonfield]

On request, the proposal now is a bit different. That MPOS=-2147483648 will become MPOS=.. This is to permit such data to be able to be written to BCF. That's over in samtools/htslib#1004.

I think this is fine. The -2147483648 is just the result of a ghastly bug due to failure to initialise a variable correctly. Replacing it with the "missing" value is the most accurate representation of what happened.
