Hi Edwin --

Just to be sure: what version of the OSVM are you working with?

Best,
Marcel

Hello,


after some further  investigations, it seems that up to now, all core dumps seem to have the same reason. or at least the same smalltalk backtrace:

I suppose if a could set debugging on, the btrace would give some more information, but I don't find how to do this. Probably looking over it somehow.
If there are some configurationd options I could change in the mvn script, I don't mind doing some other test, but I don't know enough about C and threads to understand what is going on here.


Mind you, I completely understand that FreeBSD is a smaller OS, and that keeping the VM working on Windiws, Apple an Linux is a dauting task in itself, so no hard feelings if nobody has the time or the motivation to look into this.


I'll probably give it a new try when a new version arrives, one never knows.

I will be back


Kind regards

Hi Edwin --

You can find the current list of failing tests in the latest bundle-run here:
https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk/squeak-app/runs/4811550256?check_suite_focus=true [https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk/squeak-app/runs/4811550256?check_suite_focus=true]


See "Test image of Squeak64-trunk" and there "Run tests". You can kind of ignore failing STON-Tests. But we should fix those, too.

Best,
Marcel

Marcel,


thanks. I removed the test. on my side


A first question, does it make sense to try to run all the tests after compiling a new version of the VM? 

It is of no use spamming the list if some known tests have issues. If such tests exist, is there a list available.

If it should be of interest, after removing #testOutOfMemory,  I have a core dump, seemingly during the execution of  #testUnwindDebugger.

.I attached the output of the run of the Squeak VM in the attached file abend.txt,



Some more info about the OS:

We should really disable this test in its current form ... it has issues on all platforms.

Hello,


Some time ago, begin 2020, I managed to build a Squeak 5.0 VM on FreeBSD, based on the sources in the opensmalltalk-vm github repository.
I remember having some difficulties, on the way, but everything got solved, and I still have that version working.


Right now, I built linux64x64  Squeak 5.3 cog spur VM on FreeBSD. There were no compilation errors, no linker errors, So I started squeak, started running the tests in TestRunner, and got the following


[edwin at ottopedi ~/Smalltalk53/opensmalltalk-vm/building/linux64x64/squeak.cog.spur/build]$ ./squeak ../../../../image/Squeak5.3-19431-64bit.image
Killed
[edwin at ottopedi ~/Smalltalk53/opensmalltalk-vm/building/linux64x64/squeak.cog.spur/build]$

It looks this happened during the execution of testOutOfMemorySignal.


Are other people here using Squeak 5.3 on FreeBSD?

Should I still build the linux64x64 version for FreeBSD, and, if so, any idea how to find out what is going wrong?

Kind regards,


Edwin Ancaer
