Subject: Broken dumps from memprof patch?
Date: Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:09:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A2D53D0.2070108@wp.pl> (raw)
I have compiled MinGW port of the comopiler (3.10) with memprof patch
applied.
I can produce heap dumps, but heapstats tool fails to load it.
I had to change major_gc.c, the line:
#include <unistd.h>
is replaced by a stub:
int getpid() {return 8;}
I had to tag all files in hp dir as precious (using hp/_tags file).
Surprisingly I get no linking error with boot/stdlib.cma when doing the
first step:
make -f Makefile.nt world
Gc.dump_heap successfully created a file while running bytecode.
I had to remove labltk from OTHERLIBRARIES (in config/Makefile),
otherwise bootstrap step results in:
File "shell.ml", line 78, characters 15-27:
Unbound value Mutex.create
I got three executables: heapstats.exe, heapstats.opt and hp2ps.exe in
root dir of the sources. 'make -f Makefile.nt install installopt' didn't
install them.
At first, threads.cmxa and friends were not built, because my make
(using normal Cygwin) was unable to resolve a symbolic link (thread.ml
to thread_posix.ml). I made a copy instead and it compiled.
Trying to run heapstats on a fresh dump file (from toplevel loop)
results in (the first line is my debug output):
globals_map length = 469785344
Fatal error: exception Invalid_argument("String.create")
Raised at file "hp/hPLoadHeap.ml", line 88, characters 20-37
The file is 320kB only, it can't contain 470MB of globals_map.
Should I assume that bytecode produces broken heap dumps?
Loading of a dump produced from native code went further:
$ heapstats.opt -heap heap.dump.8.0
globals_map length = 115
info list element length = 1721
info list element length = 193024
Fatal error: exception End_of_file

Any ideas?
