[pypy-issue] [issue691] pypy-head does not compile under Windows

[Garen Parham]

Garen Parham <garen.p at gmail.com> added the comment:

On Windows 7 x64, trying to build trunk with pypy 1.6 crashes fairly early - the 
Visual Studio debugger throws up an Access Violation to address 0x00000000.

Went looking for a more recent build on the nightly builds page for win32, but 
all the recent win32 builds for sometime show up as 0B:

http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/trunk/

It doesn't look like there is a win32 build with all tests passing anywhere to 
try...

Trying with the latest 32-bit python 2.7.2, it goes for quite awhile but 
eventually reaches the 2GB memory limit and crashes with a MemoryError--looks 
identical to what DragonSA reported in msg2492 on 2011-05-04.

With pypy 1.5, it makes more progress, but eventually crashes too:

Fatal RPython error: MemoryError

Using pypy 1.5 seems to "work" in that it doesn't crash prematurely, but like 
CPython runs out of memory:

(Using PYPY_GC_MAX_DELTA=200MB and loop_longevity=300 as suggested via the notes 
section of http://pypy.org/download.html)

Other than using editbin (wish seems kind of fishy) I'm about out of straws and 
stabs in the dark. :)
