Hi, Dalibor told me you'd know more precisely the status of boehm-gc vs. kaffe-gc. I am asking because on x86_64 (gcc 4.0-branch, glibc 2.3.5), I sometimes get failures in the testsuite where all threads are waiting for something. This is with the default kaffe-gc. What's more, this cannot be repeatedly reproduced, unfortunately. i.e. on next runs, the tests can pass.
With boehm-gc, all tests but one (ClassGC) pass on x86_64. This one either fails with a hang (all threads blocked) or an assert() failure, etc. I believe there are some 64-bit bugs left in the common GC parts. FWIW, the latest Kaffe that passed all tests on x86_64 was 1.1.4. BTW, I also merged from GCC 4.0.2 boehm-gc for testing with no improvement. Anyone with another 64-bit platform to compare results? Debugging that with gdb is somewhat head-scratching stuff and I have yet to find out the root cause. If anyone has an idea, he is welcome. Thanks, Gwenolé. _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list [email protected] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
