pike -x benchmark
by Marcus Comstedt (ACROSS) (Hail Ilpalazzo!) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 15 Apr '16

I noticed that starting the benchmark allocates an enormous amount of memory. The reason seems to be Foreach{,2,3,4} benchmarks. Each of these has the line array const_array = enumerate(10000000); on the top level. This means that there is an object occupying 160M (10M * sizeof(svalue)) in each of these _programs_, so it is always present when the programs are loaded, not just when the benchmarks are run. So in short, loading these four benchmarks (pike -x benchmark loads all the benchmarks) allocates 640M ram. That's a bit steep for my Raspberry Pi which only has 1G in total... (If I change the size of the arrays to 3M elements then the benchmarks complete normally.) Could perhaps each of these arrays be allocated before the respective benchmark is run, and freed afterwards, instead of being allocated when the benchmark is loaded and freed never?

Not sure whether that means GTK3 or GTK2 though. What Windows versions is Pike aiming to support? ChrisA [1] http://www.gtk.org/download/windows.php

Pike 8.0.222 release candidate
by Peter Bortas 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

No final release today. The disk in my virtual Windows machine broke. Fixing that took up time that should have been used for testing, so you will only get some completely untested builds. Pike 8.0.222 release candidate: https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.222/Pike-v8.0.222.tar.gz Windows build: https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.222/Pike-v8.0.222-win32-oldli… Changes since Pike 8.0.182 (release 2) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- New features ------------ o Roxen.http_decode_string() now decodes UTF-16 surrogate pairs. o Protocols.HTTP.Query now always sends a content-length header. o Report feature flags for System.FSEvents and System.Inotify. Bug fixes --------- o The machine code generator on ia32 now aligns the stack on a 16 byte boundary. This makes it possible to call code that uses SSE2 instructions. o Exceptions thrown in GTK signal handlers no longer cause segfaults. o The SSL client code now interprets the RFCs more leniently. o Multiple fixes for the handling of accelerated Filesystem.Monitor monitors, which could sometimes lose notifications. o Improved handling of response content-length in Protocols.HTTP.Query. o Fixed case where unfinished programs could lose their parents. o Fixed "Invalid service"-error from connect() on Fedora Core 4. o Fixed next_result() in Sql.sql_array_result. o Fixed sizeof() in Array.Iterator, Multiset.Iterator and String.Iterator. Building and installing ----------------------- o Multiple fixes for building on Solaris. o Improved scanning for Odbc header files. o Fixed some issues with --with-abi flags not propagating correctly to the modules. -- Peter Bortas
