Version 2.2.3 tests fail on Debian i386 and ppc64el hosts
I've been trying to get Guile 2.2 to build and pass the tests on all of the Debian architectures again, and at this point, the release[1] architectures are OK except i386 and ppc64el (and armel, which is still building...). Initially amd64 was failing in test-out-of-memory, but changing -fstack-protector-strong to -fno-stack-protector seemed to fix it. However, that test is dying in the same way on ppc64el: GC Warning: Failed to expand heap by 8388608 bytes GC Warning: Failed to expand heap by 8388608 bytes GC Warning: Failed to expand heap by 65536 bytes GC Warning: Out of Memory! Heap size: 27 MiB. Returning NULL! GC Warning: Failed to expand heap by 8388608 bytes GC Warning: Failed to expand heap by 65536 bytes GC Warning: Out of Memory! Heap size: 27 MiB. Returning NULL! Warning: Unwind-only `out-of-memory' exception; skipping pre-unwind handler. FAIL: test-out-of-memory == 1 of 39 tests failed Please report to bug-gu...@gnu.org == Makefile:2630: recipe for target 'check-TESTS' failed Preliminary investigation suggests that test-out-of-memory makes it past the first two tests, and dies on: (test (lambda () ;; This one is the kicker -- we allocate pairs until the heap ;; can't expand. This is the hardest test to deal with because ;; the error-handling machinery has no memory in which to work. (iota #e1e8))) The i386 build has a different problem, it never finishes sandbox.test, hanging here at 100+% CPU: Running rnrs-libraries.test Running rtl-compilation.test Running rtl.test Running sandbox.test I thought I'd bring this up in case either is something you've seen before. In addition, I can reproduce both failures on Debian porterboxes, and would be happy to help if I can. (And of course, if it made sense, we could also mark a test as unresolved for the moment.) cf. https://bugs.gnu.org/29464 https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=guile-2.2&suite=sid [1] The release architectures are the unshaded ones on the buildd page.

Re: GC Warning related to large mem block allocation - Help needed
Hi Mike, > If all you are doing is trying to get Guile not to issue warnings about big > allocations, I think all you need to do is put -DGC_IGNORE_WARN in the > CFLAGS when you build Guile. Thanks for the suggestion, but it does not work. If I trust guile (gcc) to use an exported CFLAGS env variable: export CFLAGS="-O3 -DGC_IGNORE_WARN" [ which is properly listed in the config.log after configure... and if this flag is 'correct', it appeared to work at first glance: scheme@(guile-user)> ,use (srfi srfi-4) scheme@(guile-user)> (for-each (lambda (i) (make-f32vector 1)) (iota 100)) [ no warnings here but a more expensive task triggers these warnings still scheme@(guile-user)> ,time (quasep caso-9 '1mm) init...
