Hi Michael, this got me a bit high-spirited, so I assembled another singular.spkg with some bigger cleanups w.r.t memory allocator usage. I did a complete build with this spkg dropped into Sage 3.3 instead of the original spkg on my OS X 32bit box, and the build and subsequent "testlong" runs just finished without any failure.
If you could give that one another try on some idle OS X 64 box --- if there is something new to be seen, we should get even further. Yes, I saw the message from Carl. But OO programming and garbage collector stuff in not the kind of programming land I'm acquainted to. So while his approach is from "above", mine is from "below" --- let's squeeze hard together. But if the approach "from below" yields nothing, the I fear others (Carl, Robert, ...) have to step in. This spkg might also be worth a shot for some renewed Cygwin experimentation. I tried hard to get away all proprietary functions called "malloc" and being deing defined by using the std header <stdlib.h> although the implementation is proprietary and inside libomalloc. Maybe that was a problem for making a DLL on Cygwin out of Singular/omalloc. Let's see (there's no hurry). Oh, I should mention that this spkg is uploaded on sage.math under / home/weberg/spkg/singular-3-0-4-4-20080711.p3test01.spkg Cheers, gsw --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
