Hi,
I will be completely away from all kinds of computers whatsoever for
about one more week. But stay tuned: some radical cleanups of music
functions are in progress.
did you realize that your last radical cleanup left a memory leak that
brought my autobuild to its knees?
Ouch, sorry!
This type of error is caught by make
web, as it runs input/regression/ in one single lilypond invocation.
Strange: my gs problems make lily stop at regression/utf-8.ly, which among the
last regression/ files; so I should have noticed the problem here too.
Perhaps the problem is that I have too much RAM? (1G)
Perhaps it would be sensible to let `make web' constrain lily's memory usage
by default, to something reasonable like 256M?
Yes, good idea.
Can
you put a priority to fixing your GS configuration so you can run "make
web" completely, and fix these problems before they are committed? Thanks.
Is this the scm_gc_protect in translator.cc (which you already fixed), or is
it something unknown?
It's unknown. The symptom is that -ddebug-gc shows that over the course
of a lot of files, some objects seem to accumulate, in particular Probs
and Moments.
(in the former case, I don't understand the error completely: how can the GC
protection introduce a memory leak?)
If protect something, but don't have a matching unprotect, then memory
will never be released.
I am now back in civilization, so I can work on the gs problems. I'll try
starting with a fresh 32-bit ubuntu installation.
