Re: [Bug-apl] Segmentation fault causes GNU APL version 1.5-1 AMD64 to exit

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi, I am currently trying to reproduce the fault, but was not yet able to. Like in Blake's case, 1500x1500 worked on my machine. I am currently trying 4000x4000 but that hasn't finished yet (takes ages). The _expression_ that I am using is:  ⌹?(Q,Q←4000)⍴10 Rick, I suppose you can reproduce the fault more easily. Please try the following: 1. in the GNU APL src directory, start gdb with GNU APL: gdb ./apl run ⌹?(Q,Q←1500)⍴10 2. after the segfault has occurred, print the backtrace (still in gdb): bt Thanks a lot, Jürgen On 01/02/2016 02:39 PM, Blake McBride wrote: Just for reference, I tried your example with the head of the source code repository, and I got: $ apl       a←1500 1500⍴?(1500×1500)⍴10       ⎕wa 732487680       b←⌹a       )off However, since your  ⎕wa was substantially less than mine, it may be that you ran out of RAM and I didn't. Also, what version of the GNU APL source code did you start with?  (The repository head is highly recommended.) Hope this helps.

The interpreter is running under Debian 8 in a VMWare virtual machine with 2GB RAM & 880MB swap space. One would expect a WS FULL or some other APL error in this instance rather than a forced exit, no? a←1500 1500 ⍴ ?(1500×1500)⍴10       ⎕wa 193433600       b←⌹a Segmentation fault
