Re: [Bug-apl] 2 Defects in 81x

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Fred, thanks, hopefully fixed in SVN 820. Please note that there are definitely some faults (lock-ups) remaining if parallel execution is enabled. These faults were sporadic and difficult to reproduce.  My benchmarks of parallel execution did not show significant benefits on today's CPUs and therefore I have not yet taken the time to find these faults. /// Jürgen On 12/13/2016 04:56 PM, Fred Weigel wrote: Two defects to report. I use GNU APL as libapl from another application (not lua). I also use parallel. Defect 1: In libapl.cc, function Unicode_to_UTF8(), the memcpy() second argument is &utf8.at(0) This is not correct with the current Simple_string.hh Easiest fix is to remove the "protected:" line in Simple_string.hh Defect 2: In Parallel.cc, there is a call all_CPUs.resize(count). With the current Simple_string.hh this does not work. Easiest fix is to change to all_CPUs.shrink(count) Fred Weigel
