And another bug, signalled by a `frame missing closure' error, this one even less frequent (maybe one in a million samples or so). I'll see about hacking my profiler so that I can debug these problems. ___ MIT-Scheme-devel mailing list MIT-Scheme-devel

There is evidently also a bug that makes uenvir.scm fail to find a static link for certain stack environments. This occurs extremely infrequently, though: about one in ten thousand or one in a hundred thousand samples, in my profiling of the compiler compiling the runtime. I can still get useful

[MIT-Scheme-devel] profiling and bugs in stack parser

2009-12-09 Thread Taylor R Campbell
Today I implemented a rudimentary statistical profiler for MIT Scheme. In the process, I found a bug in the stack parser whereby it would fail to parse stack frames that occur in the infrequent situation of interrupting an internal compiled procedure that LIAR compiled with a dynamic link; of cours
