Current attempts to build Felix on arm processor by Debian autobuilder indicate failures running Felix compiler which is written in Ocaml:
Unpacking ocaml-native-compilers (from .../ocaml-native-compilers_3.09.2-6_arm.deb) ... Since these tests work on other processors, and the code is basically machine and platform independent, there is a strong indication this is a bug in Ocaml rather than Felix. It is possible the problem is resource related (stack/heap overflow, too many file handles open, integer overflow, etc) but this does seem unlikely. Unfortunately I don't have an arm processor so have no way to even attempt to isolate the problem (and due to a 'bug' in the build system we can't even see the diagnostic output, we just get an error code) Does anyone have an Arm floating around to try to reproduce the problem? [There's a tarball at http://felix.sourceforge.net/flx_1.1.2_src.tgz for non-debian build] This result is somewhat weird because 100 or so other tests pass. Furthermore, the same tests existed for Felix 1.1.1, and at that time (Jan 9 07:33) all the tests passed (on arm), eg: from the 1.1.1 autobuild on arm: PATH=bin:"$PATH" LD_LIBRARY_PATH=rtl:"$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" bin/flxg -Ilib tut/examples/mig04 PATH=bin:"$PATH" LD_LIBRARY_PATH=rtl:"$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" bin/flxg -Ilib tut/examples/tut101 ... there's no failure but on the recent test: ***** UNIT TESTING PACKAGE flx_tut_migrate TESTFILE: tut/examples/mig04.flx ************ TRANSLATING tut/examples/mig04.flx PATH=bin:"$PATH" LD_LIBRARY_PATH=rtl:"$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" bin/flxg -Ilib tut/examples/mig04 .. ERROR CODE 0xb TESTFILE -- ERROR! tut/examples/mig04 TESTFILE -- ERROR! tut/examples/mig04.flx (build) it fails. (this COULD be a problem with inconsistent ABI and Debian, but I doubt that too?) I think 0xb error is a segfault. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
