Hey,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"> I was trying to get a handle on that problem last year. The threadtest program is really a stress tester of the collector/allocator with pthreads. If you run it with just the tests read and alloc you pretty much
always get a crash. If you run them with paranoidgc it will crash in the heap checker. Tony thought it was a clear cut problem of the roots of some ref not being found on a thread stack. I mucked around with code to get some output and the stacks looked ok
to me but I could be wrong. All stacks are checked whilst the threads are blocked in a signal handler, the design of which looks fine as far as I can tell. This test is characterised by some slow threads (the read threads) and a bunch of fast threads (the
alloc threads). Even if you modify the test to have only one read thread the problem occurs. I have had misgivings about mixing signals and threads having been bitten many years ago, but really this is the only way the collector can get its raw refs to check.
<br>
My guess is its a subtle timing or lock problem maybe a lurking bug in the collector itself. One thing I noticed is that in ThreadPThread__ProcessStopped the second call to p(context, ((char *)context) + sizeof(ucontext_t)); according to the comment is to
process the registers. But the registers should already be on the stack and anyway this call is a partial duplicate of the previous one.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:1.0in">
It would be good to raise the priority on this problem. Trust in the collector has always been at the heart of m3 programs.

I figured there aren't actually implementations of Word.Xor, Word.Or,<br>

BTW, any idea about what's wrong with pthreads? Do you think the issue<br>
is with the garbage collector or with the threads, off the top of your<br>
