Description (last modified by )
Currently, libGAP doesn't give useful errors if something goes wrong during initialization.
Also, the GAP SIGINT handler got installed, this is fixed in the new spkg. Now Ctrl-C works as expected.
- Start with sage-5.6.beta3 or later.
- Install http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/libgap-4.5.7.spkg
- Apply 13588_libGAP_root.patch to the root repository
- Apply trac_6391_libGAP.patch to the Sage library
- Apply trac_13588_improve_libGAP.patch to the Sage library
- Apply trac_13588_exec_fix.patch to the Sage library
- Apply trac_13588_manifest.patch to the Sage library
- Apply trac_13588_docbuild.patch to the Sage library
The trac_6391_*
patch has already been reviewed at #6391.

I have been checking the different updates of libgap, and the error seemed to go away several versions ago. Anyways, i will keep testing it.

I don't know if it is an issue related with this patch or if it comes from libgap itself, but i have experienced some problems when i use tab completion in a session in the command line (i haven't checked it in the notebook).

The new patch allows to change the comparison method for libgap objects since not all GAP objects can be compared. This is important if you want use them as cache keys.
Also, the comparison was not properly wrapped in sig_on/sig_off

I still see the segfault when trying to execute "Exec" trough libgap. This seems to make it impossible to load gap packages that make use of external programs.

Does sig_on() need a matching sig_off() in case sig_on() is issued in a try block, which throws an exception?
Comparison functions returning -1, 0, +1... So FORTRAN |V... :-)
comment:30 Changed 9 years ago by
sig_on
and sig_off
must be paired, though ideally they enclose only C/Cython code which cannot raise Python exceptions. A C signal will jump back to sig_on
and raise there.

Is the test program sage/libs/gap/test/main.c

libgap tries to run various autotools, which should be avoided (as it can lead to build errors). Probably this is simply timestamps were clobbered during the packaging.

I cannot say for sure that this ticket is to blame, but the MemoryError
certainly made me suspect GAP. And I also saw some "halving pool size" messages appear during the docbuilding.

comment:43 follow-up: ↓ 44 Changed 9 years ago by
All GAP/libGAP processes should be terminated by the time we are building the manual, so I don't see how we could possibly impact that.
Is this a 32-bit machine? There you might run into warts caused by the limited address space, and the halving pool size would support that. Sphinx uses quite a lot of memory and might fail to load its pickles if there is no memory left or no contiguous address space block available.

Theoretically true, but a normal Sage session won't start GAP until it has to and libGAP is lazily imported as well. Even then, none of that has anything to do with the elliptic curve stuff.
Right now the only thing in this ticket that seems to actually influence the docbuild is that the documentation becomes larger.

The fact that I'm seeing "halving pool size" messages during the docbuilding proves that GAP is started.

That indeed means that something is wonky. We are trying hard to pick a pool size that should fit into memory yet it doesn't. As I said before, this means that either there is very little memory to start with or the available address space is so fragmented that there is no contiguous piece left (32-bit only).
comment:48 Changed 9 years ago by
I guess sphinx has to resolve the lazy imports in order to get at the docstrings? That would pull in libGAP, which then subtracts ~250MB from the available address space. On a 32-bit machine that might push you over the cliff since sphinx is the most memory-demanding piece of the whole sage build process. Can you tell us which architecture we are talking about?

I'm still not entirely happy with the memory allocation during docbuilding. For reasons I cannot understand, the documentation used to build fine with
ulimit -v 2500000
but now it needs (I tested 100MB increments)
ulimit -v 3500000
which is an increase of 1GB. Of course, the documentation is also getting bigger, but that explains only a small part of the increase. Also, on the buildbot I'm seeing sometimes errors of the form
sphinx-build -b html -d /home/buildbot/build/sage/iras-1/iras_full/build/sage-5.7.beta0/devel/sage/doc/output/doctrees/de/tutorial /home/buildbot/build/sage/iras-1/iras_full/build/sage-5.7.beta0/devel/sage/doc/de/tutorial /home/buildbot/build/sage/iras-1/iras_full/build/sage-5.7.beta0/devel/sage/doc/output/html/de/tutorial Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/buildbot/build/sage/iras-1/iras_full/build/sage-5.7.beta0/devel/sage/doc/common/builder.py", line 1093, in <module> getattr(get_builder(name), type)() File "/home/buildbot/build/sage/iras-1/iras_full/build/sage-5.7.beta0/devel/sage/doc/common/builder.py", line 232, in _wrapper getattr(get_builder(document), name)(*args, **kwds) File "/home/buildbot/build/sage/iras-1/iras_full/build/sage-5.7.beta0/devel/sage/doc/common/builder.py", line 88, in f subprocess.call(build_command, shell=True) File "/home/buildbot/build/sage/iras-1/iras_full/build/sage-5.7.beta0/local/lib/python/subprocess.py", line 493, in call return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait() File "/home/buildbot/build/sage/iras-1/iras_full/build/sage-5.7.beta0/local/lib/python/subprocess.py", line 679, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/home/buildbot/build/sage/iras-1/iras_full/build/sage-5.7.beta0/local/lib/python/subprocess.py", line 1143, in _execute_child self.pid = os.fork() OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory make: *** [doc-html-mathjax] Error 1
I suspect that GAP has something to do with this.
Could you somehow fix the memory allocation to allocate an absolutely minimal amount during docbuilding? Maybe it would make sense to introduce an environment variable SAGE_GAP_MEGABYTES
which could be user-set to the desired memory size and which would be set by the docbuilder to a small number (say, 1 MB).

I've added a setting to our Sphinx config (doc/common/conf.py
) and builder config (build_options.py
) to use only the minimum amount for GAP memory pool. The builder and sphinx itself both import everything to get at docstrings, so two libgap instances are being created when building the documentation. I verified that I can now build all documentation with ulimit -v 2500000
).

I see, introspection runs Sphinx as well so there is a chance to get conf.py
imported in Sage. Though curiously, it doesn't cause any doctest failure on my machine. I moved the part that limits GAP to a branch in conf.py
that is only executed when we actually build the documentation, this should fix it.
