kid51 Is there anyone on channel who could evaluate the C code in rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Attachment/4....test3.txt -- specifically in proposed new probe file config/auto/sizes/test3_c.in ? 15:41
nopaste "kid51" at 68.237.14.234 pasted "Is this C code acceptable?" (19 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/13819 15:43
s1n kid51: sure, but size_t isn't technically guaranteed to be any kind of integer type 15:44
it's usually safe to assume that unless you're dealing with highly portable code (most libc implementations are unsigned ints iirc) 15:46
also, your comment indicates you're trying to determine 64bit values? you might try shifting to find the sign bit 15:54
kid51 s1n Thanks. My aims are more modest here; I don't claim to know anything about sizes. I'm just trying to fix some code that was leaving behind C test probes in the top-level directory after running 'perl Configure.pl'. 15:55
I.e., I'm hoping not to change the functionality that's there. I just want it to be called in a cleaner, more standard way. 15:56
see the part of the patch that pertains to config/auto/sizes.pm. I'll paste that as well. 15:57
nopaste "kid51" at 68.237.14.234 pasted "config/auto/sizes.pm: Cleaner way of getting hugefloatval" (37 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/13820 15:58
kid51 In other words, this is a "do no harm" patch rather than a "change configuration process" patch. 15:59

tetragon Hrm... Configure.pl isn't finding my readline install and is instead tripping over editline 17:12
Time to find that patch of mine and try using it
Actually, that patch wouldn't fix this 17:13
rurban kid51: #57668 mentions a segfault. my test just hangs.
$ ./parrot t/pmc/namespace_65.pir 17:14
bar
tetragon grumbles some more about OS X's editline
rurban 2
<hang>
I'd like that to be skipped as chromatic also voted 17:15
(I'm on cygwin btw)
tetragon ld can't find my real readline install in /usr/local/lib (without modifying search paths) because it finds "readline" first in /usr/lib and terminates with an error over that unimplemented symbol in editline. 17:26
kid51 tetragon: Add any findings to rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=52212. 17:31
At the Parrot buildfest at YAPC, I tried to get people to try out that patch and give us the feedback that would be needed to commit it -- but we ran out of time on that one (though we got, IIRC, one of your other patches applies). 17:32
rurban: Is your problem related to what Coke reported in rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=57824 ? 17:33
rurban No. Coke's report also has segfault. Maybe my "hang" is a long gc, because it times out eventually, but not always. 17:34
kid51 ok. Sounds like this is basis for new RT. 17:35
On my 2 OSes, I have not experienced the problem, IIRC.
tetragon kid51: The patch in #52212 wouldn't help due to changes in the flags since then. It's now failing at linktime not runtime thanks to not having '-undefined dynamic_lookup' set. 17:36
rurban Or is it continues eating memory? nope. Just burning cpu. MEM=0.3% for the whole time.
tetragon And only five crashes (excluding the HCF test) for make test on my 64-bit build
kid51 tetragon: Would that be a consequence of the changes we've made in config/init/hints/darwin.pm?
tetragon kid51: Quite likely.
kid51: The way around the problem now that doesn't involve breaking system symlinks is to check for readline without including /usr/lib and /usr/include in the search paths 17:38
(or to place everything else, such as /usr/local/lib, first)
kid51 Well, patches welcome. I don't claim to understand these issues well, so any explanation you can give in the RT would be welcome. 17:39
tetragon Hrm... -undefined dynamic_lookup is still mentioned in config/init/hints/darwin.pm, but it wasn't in any of the commands shown when I ran the readline step verbosely 17:40
kid51 You might want to configure with --configure_trace, then use Parrot::Configure::Trace to track the evolution of a particular value in Parrot::Configure object over the steps.
kid51 would welcome a "cc for dummies" 17:42
tetragon kid51: Which cc?
kid51: Some of the IBM redbooks I worked with had comparison charts between a load of different cc implementations 17:43
kid51 Well, gcc as prime example. But the things I don't understand about compilation I think lie at the next more general level.
I know there have been plenty of discussions about things like: "this flag should go before that flag" or "this lib has to precede that one". But I don't understand the context. 17:44
At the same time, I'm suspicious of things that unnecessarily complicate the code in our config system, since that makes it more unmaintainable over the long run (e.g., triggers). 17:46
17:46 particle1 joined 17:48 desertmax_ joined
tetragon Erm, according to what I'm seeing from Parrot::Configure::Trace, none of the values I'm seeing being set on line 42 of config/init/hints/darwin.pm are really being set 17:54
Erm, used the wrong value in my script for that 18:00
Looks like the value got changed at inter::progs 18:01
nopaste "tetragon" at 76.10.153.9 pasted "readline with some configure_trace output" (227 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/13821 18:04

rurban interesting, my namespace_65 hang only appears with --optimized, with the debug build it works okay. Now this deserves a fresh ticket. 18:08
kid51 Have to leave now; will check back this evening. 18:09
NotFound rurban: not sure, but I think that is the test that is eating a lot of memory from some days ago. 18:13
rurban mem is 0.3%, cpu is 100% 18:14
there is some optimisation bug
NotFound In 32 or in 64?
rurban 32
cygwin
jit
I'll try with different runcore's now. But first I'll try to get an optimized libparrot.dll with symbols 18:15
NotFound Maybe is not the same test, I will check more carefully.
rurban No, it's the same test which segfaulted for coke and francois rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=57668 rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=57824 18:17

: [PMC] Fixed co-recursion bug in NameSpace, when iterating through its contents.
: The problem is that, when the key is a Key and not a String, sometimes there's
: an infinite loop when the Key isn't a string, integer, or PMC key -- the
: default path for the switch in key_string() calls the get_string() vtable entry
: on the key, which calls key_string(), which....
: The short-term solution is to call the parent PMC (Hash) implementation of
: get_pmc_keyed() and return the results, if they're accurate. This fixes the
: crash and keeps Rakudo working. Replacing the body of the vtable entry with
: the SUPER() call breaks Rakudo.
: The long-term solution is to fix the Key PMC, which is poorly designed and
: poorly implemented.
: See RT #57668 and RT #58040, for starters.

tetragon kid51: inter::progs is clobbering the values set bin config/init/hints/darwin.pm with the ones on the command line for my linker flags. This is also how the -L/usr/local/lib from perl 5 isn't making it through to the later tests 23:34
23:38 Whiteknight joined
kid51 tetragon: I'm not surprised. How should we proceed (in a way that keeps all variants of OS X happy)? 23:50
tetragon Not sure. System perl users with no command line flags aren't affected, thanks to how integrate works 23:55
kid51 This makes me wonder whether *my* command-line flags are getting clobbered. 23:56
tetragon And I would need a 64-bit ppc to check for one of the conditions that I want to
Although, I may be able to do the check through -arch ppc64 flags 23:57
kid51 Refresh my memory. When you used P::C::Trace, which value were you tracing?
tetragon linkflags
kid51 Let me try that on my iBook (10.4;ppc); haven't tried it in months. 23:58
tetragon I remember ppc being a bit picky about -undefined settings 23:59
