My sparetime effort to get freenet compiling and running with upcoming gcj 3.1 made some progress. There seems to be some important bugfixes going into gcc-CVS recently. Environmnet: Debiain GNU/Linux sid/unstable on AMD K6 256 MB DRAM, 512 MB swap GCJ: Configured with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc --enable-languages=java --disable-static --enable-threads : (reconfigured) : (reconfigured) : (reconfigured) Thread model: posix gcc version 3.1 20020430 (prerelease) Freenet is CVS of today. A Freenet node (fred) is a complex servernode, quiet large (29MB unstripped) and use threads and I/O heavily, so it should be a good testbed for gcj. All tests is with services set to "no" to just exercise the core node and no servlets code etc. First I ran as a transistent node and tested with frost, it ran OK for 15 minutes. I stopped and reconfigured as a permenent node, announcing and all. I run OK, but after about 30-40 minutes all memory 256+512 MB was used up and the node was killed. I though it was leakage in the node itself, but after a little investigation I saw some very large processes - a few each of "addr2line" and "c++filt" - which must have been started by fred. Those processes also remained after to node where killed and had to be shut down manually. I think it has something to do with exception handling in libgcj. Will investigate further and post gccbug(s) when I got some more time if someone does beat me to it. happy hacking, -- Göran Thyni Luleå / Kiruna
