Tail-call-optimization broken in current builds 0.6+ about grain

[ospencer]

Hey @mortax. Can you post the program and let us know how you're running it?

[mortax]

i can't post the program as is but i'll try to create an example as a replacement this weekend.

[ospencer]

Thank you, it's much appreciated.

[phated]

If I remember correctly, v0.5 leaked memory for tail calls. The next version properly cleans them up (after #1927) but that's obviously going to take longer then when we were leaking memory. I'm going to close this out.

[phated]

Actually, I read the original issue wrong. Let's leave it open for now

[ospencer]

This may be fixed by #1993. There was a bug that under certain circumstances could lead to memory corruption which in turn might make the program hang.

@mortax Once that's merged (in about ~1 hour) could you rebuild from main and see if the issue goes away?

[ospencer]

I'm going to close for now. I believe this should no longer be an issue, but feel free to reopen if you encounter this again.

[mortax]

@ospencer (or @phated) i do have have an option to reopen this issue. do you?

this is still happening. my tests no longer complete:

before:

== 03-29-12-58-10/results.txt ==

gr: 64 tests passed 01:01.945 [real 45.96 user 45.91 sys 0.00]

{[ Total elapsed run-time was 36:56 ]}

now:

== 04-18-21-55-25/results.txt ==

gr: 2/64 tests failed, 2 timed out 1:04:22.425 [real 2043.00 user 2035.35 sys 0.00]

{[ Total elapsed run-time was 1:43:00 ]}

note: it used to run my full test suite as quickly at 29 seconds:

is there a non-public way i can share my source-code? i'd do not want to have it publicly available but i definitely want to allow you all to use it to find the issue.

@mortax You can send it to me on Discord and I can take a look that way.
