Greetings! We've been talking about extending GCL's sbrk past the mmap base address at which shared libs begin to be loaded, 0x4000 on 32bit Linux. There appear to be about 3 solutions. All information relative to running big oracle/db2/... jobs on Linux is relevant here (web search should

Greetings, and thank you for all these reports! I'll try to respond to each -- most of the patches can just go straight in. But first a question -- I've seen none of this on the macosx to which I have access -- is this a gcc 4.0.0 issue? Take care, Clemens Heitzinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

[Gcl-devel] Re: Strangeness in memory

2005-05-19 Thread Camm Maguire
Greetings! When GC'ing relocatable pages, which uses a fast copying algorithm, one needs to temporarily allocate about twice the current relblock usage plus a new hole. This winds up being about 300k pages in your case, more thanthe 262k available. One can do (si::gbc nil) here instead of (si::g
