Package: pari-gp Version: 2.11.2-1 When starting with a big parisize on armel (and armhf, mipsel and powerpc, if I remember well), gp can get stuck on simple computations :
parisize = 1000000000, primelimit = 500000, nbthreads = 4 ? isprime(293911884200387681576093) *** isprime: Warning: not enough memory, new thread stack 500002816 *** isprime: Warning: not enough memory, new thread stack 250003456 *** isprime: Warning: not enough memory, new thread stack 125001728 *** isprime: Warning: not enough memory, new thread stack 500002816 *** isprime: Warning: not enough memory, new thread stack 250003456 *** isprime: Warning: not enough memory, new thread stack 125001728 *** isprime: Warning: not enough memory, new thread stack 62500864 *** isprime: Warning: not enough memory, new thread stack 31252480 *** isprime: Warning: not enough memory, new thread stack 15626240 (and there you have to kill gp or it never ends) where the default gives : parisize = 4000000, primelimit = 500000, nbthreads = 4 ? isprime(293911884200387681576093) %1 = 1 Of course, the problem arised in eclib and that's where it will be patched, but the fact that pari broke on some arches is - as far as I can tell - still an indication something isn't correct in the code : it used to work, and doesn't anymore. Happy new year, JP
