Subject: Re: v2.19.47 on Mac x86
I run El Capitan 10.11.6:
address@hidden:~/Documents/LaTeX/PartitionsLilypond > uname -a
Darwin macbookprojm 15.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 15.6.0: Mon Aug 29
20:21:34 PDT 2016; root:xnu-3248.60.11~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
and I get:
address@hidden:~ > sudo dtruss lilypond --version
I run El Capitan 10.11.6 and get the exact same output for “uname -a”.
I wanted to see what the difference was between v2.19.46 and v2.19.47,
so I ran them both on the following file:
bash-3.2$ cat 1note.ly
\version "2.19.46"
{ c4 }
bash-3.2$ time lilypond 1note.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.19.46

bash-3.2$ echo $LP47

bash-3.2$ time $LP47 1note.ly

user 0m46.848s
sys 0m15.145s
I then ran dtruss -c on both versions to see what the difference in
system calls was.
The following table shows the number of system calls which have a Count
> 100 for the v2.19.47 version and the corresponding count for the
v2.19.46 version:
CALL COUNT LP46 COUNT LP47
… … …
getattrlist 112 128
stat 178 171
stat64 207 207
sigaltstack 222 228
sigprocmask 263 269
select_nocancel 320 323
lseek 57 123013
read_nocancel 341 125474
I then did a count of the number of lseeks on file descriptors <= 13 (at
first glance there are no file descriptors greater than 12:
lseek(0xfiledes v46 v47
lseek(0x0 1 23
lseek(0x1 1 1
lseek(0x2 1 1
lseek(0x3 2 2
lseek(0x4 0 0
lseek(0x5 0 0
lseek(0x6 2 2
lseek(0x7 35 35
lseek(0x8 8 122969
lseek(0x9 3 3
lseek(0xA 1 1
lseek(0xB 3 3
lseek(0xC 0 0
Hopefully, this information might be of use to someone trying to figure
this problem out.
The most salient questions would be: what is filedes 8 used for? And
why is this problem only occurring on Macs?
