Summary: Zombies in parallel builds with pselect code Project: make Submitted by: joerg Submitted on: Tue 06 Sep 2016 12:38:41 PM GMT Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Bug Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: 4.2.1 Operating System: POSIX-Based Fixed Release: None Triage Status: None _______________________________________________________ Details: When using the new pselect based job server logic, I regularly see hanging pkgsrc bulk builds on NetBSD 7.0, both i386 and amd64. Most common victims are huge packages like libreoffice. The symptoms are gmake processes with exactly one zombie child per concurrent job. Since disable pselect by overriding the configure test, the problem has disappeared. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49014> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
