Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Uploads for 12 August

The following packages (and their subpackages) have been updated for both arches:

After this update my GTK builds of Emacs trunk do not work any more. For example, the bootstrap of rev. 113816 I did yesterday and that worked fine up to before this update, now fails so:

$ emacs -Q &
[1] 3044

***MEMORY-ERROR***: [3044]: GSlice: failed to allocate 504 bytes (alignment: 512): Function not implemented


[1]+  Aborted                 (core dumped) emacs -Q


So, after this update, I tried a new bootstrap (rev.113838) but id fails in the same manner:

if test "no" = "yes"; then \
  rm -f bootstrap-emacs.exe; \
  ln temacs.exe bootstrap-emacs.exe; \
else \
  `/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap || exit 1; \
  test "X" = X ||  -zex emacs.exe; \
  mv -f emacs.exe bootstrap-emacs.exe; \
fi

***MEMORY-ERROR***: [896]: GSlice: failed to allocate 504 bytes (alignment: 512): Function not implemented

Probably this issue affects also the Cygwin (GTK) package of Emacs..

It seems that the workaround is to start Emacs with G_SLICE=always-malloc,

$ G_SLICE=always-malloc emacs -Q &


Ken, wasn't this issue fixed upstream some time ago?


Ciao,
 Angelo.
