Re: [Chicken-users] CHICKEN 4.10.0 release candidate 1 available

[Arthur Maciel]

Hello, Moritz and all! Happy to see 4.10rc1! Congratulations for the great work (as always)!

Please note that on machine 2 the tests took a long time to complete. I'm not sure, but I suppose it was on the same part that was reported on another thread (related to GCC version).

Machine 1
Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz    2GB RAM

Operating system: Debian 7
Hardware platform: x86
C Compiler: GCC 4.7.2
Installation works?: yes
Tests work?: yes
Installation of eggs works?: yes

$ time make PLATFORM=linux install check
real    19m13.803s
user    18m16.097s
sys    0m13.181s

Machine 2
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz   4GB RAM
Operating system: Linux Mint 17 (Qiana)
Hardware platform: x86-64
C Compiler: GCC 4.9.2
Installation works?: yes
Tests work?: yes
Installation of eggs works?: yes

$ time make PLATFORM=linux install check
real    135m35.180s
user    134m46.798s
sys    0m15.966s

Part that took long:

======================================== runtime tests ...
many arguments supported.
testing 'apply' with 0..2048 (maximum apply argument count)...
If this segfaults on x86-64, try updating GCC (4.5 has a code-generation bug):
invoking directly with 0..50...
invoking directly with 1998..2048 (maximum interpreted direct argument count)...
testing 'apply' can detect calls of too many arguments...
testing direct invocation can detect calls of too many arguments...

(waiting most of the time...)

Cheers,

Hello everyone,

we are happy to announce the first release candidate of the upcoming
CHICKEN 4.10.0. It is now available at this location:

http://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2015/06/07/chicken-4.10.0rc1.tar.gz

The SHA 256 sum of that tarball is

b5cc7c2d270d11f56a52da1b78950ada27d9bce2496b8ba230542d104b5477f0

The list of changes since version 4.9.0 is available here:

http://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2015/06/07/NEWS

Please give it a test and report your findings to the mailing list.

Here's a suggested test procedure:

  $ make PLATFORM=<platform> PREFIX=<some dir> install check
  $ <some dir>/bin/chicken-install pastiche

If you want to build CHICKEN with a compiler other than the default one,
just use C_COMPILER=<the compiler> (e.g., C_COMPILER=clang) on the make
invocation.

Of course, feel free to explore other supported build options (see the
README file for more information) and actually use CHICKEN 4.10.0rc1 for
your software.

If you can, please let us know the following information about the
environment you tested the RC tarball on:

Operating system: (e.g., FreeBSD 10.1, Debian 8, Windows 7 mingw-msys)
Hardware platform: (e.g., x86, x86-64, PPC)
C Compiler: (e.g., GCC 4.9.2, clang 3.6)
Installation works?: yes or no
Tests work?: yes or no
Installation of eggs works?: yes or no

Thanks in advance!

The CHICKEN Team
