[perl #128094] [JVM] Issues with rakudo-j after merge of branch 'relocateable-precomp'

2016-05-21 Thread Christian Bartolomaeus via RT 
As a status update: things are substantially better now (2016.04-218-gaa2715d) 
-- thanks to nine++
and psch++

+ stresstest runs in a reasonable time again (precompiled Test.pm can be used)

+ test for RT #114354 passes again

+ FIRST works now

The remaining issues are:

- 'make install' still fails -- though with a different error:

./perl6-j tools/build/install-core-dist.pl 
/home/christian/bin/rakudo.jvm/share/perl6
===SORRY!===
setcodeobj can only be used with a CodeRef

  in block  at tools/build/install-core-dist.pl line 18

- still failing tests in S10-packages/precompilation.t -- there are some
  NullPointerExceptions and therefore only 28 instead of 40 tests are run

[perl #128094] [JVM] Issues with rakudo-j after merge of branch 'relocateable-precomp'

2016-05-08 Thread Christian Bartolomaeus via RT 
Running the following code with RAKUDO_MODULE_DEBUG=1 revealed that rakudo-j 
did precompile a module, but was unable to use it afterwards -- and therefore 
removed it:

$ echo '#' > Foo.pm6
$ RAKUDO_MODULE_DEBUG=1 ./perl6-j -I. -e 'use Foo'

Since that happened with Test.pm as well, the long spectest runs make sense.

I tried to debug this problem and it looks like FIRST not working on rakudo-j 
is the culprint:

bartolinnine_, psch: I think I found the cause for one of the precomp 
issues on rakudo-j: the FIRST phaser in 
https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/src/core/CompUnit/PrecompilationRepository.pm#L87
 does not work for rakudo-j. because of that rakudo-j did not load a freshly 
precompiled Module.
bartolinm: for 1 { FIRST { next }; say "should not be here" } # prints 
"should not be here" on rakudo-j

bartolinI guess, that's behind my stresstest runs taking 10 hours :-/

bartolinhe, I already put it in RT last november: RT #126701 :-)

There are different issues with Rakudo on JVM after the merge of
'relocateable-precomp'. I compared an installation on the merge 
commit e8fd55bbe6 with a second installation on that commit 
plus 'git revert -m 1 e8fd55bbe6'.

* a lot of new failing tests in S10-packages/precompilation.rakudo.jvm 
  (some others where fudged before): 2-4, 7-21, 24-26, 28-30, 32, 38, 39
   

* test for RT #114354 fails (S06-other/main.t aborts), because 'sub MAIN' 
  in t/spec/packages/HasMain.pm (line 5) is called with @*ARGS containing 
  five elements

* running stresstest takes about 10 hours after merge of branch 
  'relocateable-precomp' (used to be substantially faster -- 
  maybe 3 hours -- didn't time this)

* 'make install' fails with:

./perl6-j tools/build/install-core-dist.pl 
/home/christian/bin/rakudo.jvm/share/perl6
===SORRY!===
Cannot call method 'prefix' on a null object

  in block  at tools/build/install-core-dist.pl line 15
