Hi. There was a discussion in cl-test-grid google group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cl-test-grid/6uqyuj6Jy-0) about timeouts when running ECL tests on MacOSX Maverick, which uses clang as the C compiler.
What might be interesting to ECL users is that clang takes much longer to compile some of the C code generated by ECL from Lisp code. For example to recompile jwacs system I use the following command on linux: rm -rf ~/.cache/common-lisp/ time ~/lisps/ecl-bin-git/bin/ecl -norc -eval '(require :cmp)' -load ~/quicklisp/setup.lisp -eval '(ql:quickload :jwacs)' -eval '(quit)' The results (linux + gcc): real 7m26.532s user 7m22.304s sys 0m2.880s The results for MacOSX Maverick + clang: real 68m9.271s user 58m58.793s sys 2m40.499s For cl-test-grid this lead to improvement of handling timeouts of tested lisp processes on unix. Namely, when timeout is detected tg-agent kills not only ECL, but whole process tree, including the C processes started by ECL Best regards, - Anton ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
