Hi Armin,
As a summary, can you tell us if there is something wrong with the trunk version of PyPy, as compiled by your GCC?
I've tried different versions of GCC (4.4 and 4.5): in both cases do I get a pypy-c that crashes once the jit is invoked. It was just a guess, and it turns out not to be related to the version of GCC (or associated tools).
In this case it's a bug in the trunk version, which we have to fix, because we don't want to support only half the GCC configurations out there. Or does the bug only ever occur in your own branch?
I did a fresh hg clone from bitbucket to make sure it's nothing local. I find that the trunk on my machine does NOT crash, but the branch does from that same fresh clone does. There are only a few changes that are in trunk but not yet in the branch (I did a recent merge). Also, the runtime of the branch is somewhat different, as it is linked to one more library (libReflex.so). I'll update the branch once more; easy to test if that makes a difference. Also, I'll try once more on the branch with cppyy disabled. That should be identical to trunk. Thanks, Wim -- WLavrijsen@lbl.gov -- +1 (510) 486 6411 -- www.lavrijsen.net
