Re: [pypy-dev] Debugging SegFaults

Hi Frank, You would need to compile pypy with “--lldebug”, then run your workload in GDB to see where it crashes. Another option is to obtain a core dump (if you cannot run the workload directly in GDB), then analyze the core dump in GDB. Please see [1] and [2] for this. [1] http://stackoverf

[pypy-dev] NumPy or NumPyPy

2016-09-27 Thread Papa, Florin
Hello, I read this announcement [1] saying that "over 99% of the upstream numpy test suite" is passed. Is this when using pypy with the upstream numpy (thanks to the incremental improvements brought to cpyext) or is it when using pypy with numpypy? I also found this link [2], tracking numpypy

I am sorry, I mistakenly switched the header of the table, the middle column is actually the result for PyPy NumPyPy. The correct table is this: Benchmark CPython NumPy PyPy NumPyPy PyPy NumPy cauchy 1 5.838852812 4.866947551 pointbypoint1 4.922654347

Hi Yury, The table contains run time values, normalized to the CPython Numpy results. This means that a value of 1 is equal to the CPython NumPy result, less than 1 means faster than CPython NumPy and more than 1 is slower than CPython NumPy. Let's consider the following line in the table: Benc

[pypy-dev] Refcount garbage collector build error

2016-03-19 Thread Papa, Florin
Hi all, This is Florin Papa from the Dynamic Scripting Languages Team at Intel Corporation. I am trying to build pypy to use the refcount garbage collector, for testing purposes. I am following the indications here [1], but the following command fails: pypy ../../rpython/bin/rpython -O2 --gc=
