pmurias is it possible to turn of gc in moarvm? 14:51
(to debug a MoarVM bug)

timotimo not really; what do you have in mind? 15:02
in theory, you could set things to always be allocated in gen2 and that would never trigger a nursery collection and thus never collect gen2 either

pmurias timotimo: I'm trying to figure out a bug which sometimes causes bits of javascript to be missing from nqp-js output 15:05
timotimo: it seems to be happening in a what to appears to be a random manner so I don't really know how to reproduce it 15:06
timotimo mhm 15:08
i expect you've already thrown oun SPESH completely?
pmurias no 15:09
timotimo i'm not saying it will help, but it will at least make the surface area a bit smaller
pmurias timotimo: will try when the bug appears again to harass me some more 15:18
timotimo thanks 15:19
i hope it helps :\
but if it's truly gc related, turning spesh on/off can stir the pot sufficiently to make it go back into hiding again
pmurias timotimo: finding a way to artificialy trigger seems to only sensible way to start hunting it down :/ 15:22
timotimo yeakh 15:23
if you find something that makes it "go away", you can never know if you fixed it or just hid it so it can appear again later
