| | 110 | x86_64 ONLY -- There is a problem on x86_64 (64 bit Athlon) machines. |
| | 111 | GHC 6.4.0 has a garbage collector bug. Until GHC 6.4.1 is released, |
| | 112 | users on x86_64 may see crashes complaining of "strange object"s. |
| | 113 | A partial workaround is to avoid gc by requesting a large heap. |
| | 114 | Use either command line arguments |
| | 115 | ./pugs +RTS -A200M -RTS |
| | 116 | or an environment variable |
| | 117 | GHCRTS='-A200M' |
| | 118 | These request a 200 MB heap, which is sufficient to run most tests. Eg, |
| | 119 | GHCRTS='-A200M' make test |
| | 120 | Running all tests unfortunately requires a lot more memory (perhaps 1000M). |
| | 121 | A possible alternative, which someone could explore and report on, would |
| | 122 | be to try using a 32big ghc. |
