segmentation fault 11 on OS X
by Christian Walder 03 Sep '15

Hello, I'm running into a segmentation fault on pypy. Is the attached OS X crash report useful for diagnosing the problem? I haven't succeeded in making a minimal example of this issue, as it occurs in the middle of a complex program, and the same program even runs correctly when processing a smaller amount of data. I'm using the latest nightly build but the same thing happens if I compile the latest pypy from git. Thanks again for pypy. best, Christian

[informative] quick git repo experimentation - results wrt repository size
by Ronny Pfannschmidt 02 Sep '15

Hello, i finished experimenting with converting the pypy repo to git using the gitifyhg git remote the basic result being heisenbug ~/P/p/pypy-git> du -sh .git/{hg,objects} 742M .git/hg 134M .git/objects which is quite a reduction i did not yet investigate eventually missing metadata and the details about branch history the number of active branches seems to fit heisenbug ~/P/p/pypy-git> git branch -a|wc -l 203 and heisenbug ~/P/p/pypy> hg branches|wc -l 201 the 2 additial branches in git are due to remote tracking and head tracking which is not necessary/possible in mercurial. -- Ronny

2.6.1 and freebsd-9
by Matti Picus 01 Sep '15

I would like to add the freebsd-9-x86-64 binary tgz to our released downloads. We still have a number of failing tests showing up on http://buildbot.pypy.org/summary?category=freebsd64 among them many DLOpenError: "opening 'libm.so' with ctypes.CDLL() works, but not with c_dlopen()??" and the more worrying SIGSEGV in http://buildbot.pypy.org/summary/longrepr?testname=unmodified&builder=pypy-… Could someone proficient in freebsd suggest what is going on?

Dependencies in noon-standard locations
by Skip Montanaro 01 Sep '15

I've encountered a problem building the 2.6.1 distribution from source: [translation:ERROR] /tmp/usession-release-2.6.1-0/platcheck_54.c:79:19: error: expat.h: No such file or directory I don't remember encountering this before, but most of my earlier builds were probably on Mac OS X. My guess is the error results from a non-standard expat location: % find /opt/TWWfsw/ -name 'expat.h' /opt/TWWfsw/libexpat20/include/expat.h I saw nothing about how to deal with this in the instructions. Searching the source, I saw no instances of things like LDFLAGS or CPPFLAGS which I'm used to using in other build environments. How do I specify these oddball locations to PyPy? I'm using OpenSuSE 12.2, which I doubt will work with any of the PyPy binaries. Would love to be proved incorrect though. Thx, Skip Montanaro
