[Openmcl-devel] SleepEx never returns

Tue Jul 23 08:06:14 PDT 2013

This looks like a backtrace of the initial thread; it indeed ordinarily
spends most of its time asleep (though I doubt if the alleged arguments
to SleepEx() in frame 3 have anything to do with how SleepEx() is actually
called.)

Are you looking at this thread because:

a) you have some reason to think that this has something to do with the reason
    that you're hanging 
or
b) because this was the easiest thread to get a backtrace for

?

I have no idea what the problem actually is.  To be honest, I'm not that
interested unless there's some reason to think that it's a CCL bug.  If
CCL was calling SleepEx with a large timeout value and a 0 "alertable"
argument that would indeed be a bug in almost all cases that I can imagine;
when I take a few seconds to grep through the sources, I can find no cases
where it does so.

> The linker tricks in question are: - passing the --image-base 0x10000 argument to ld.exe in ccl/lisp-kernel/win64/Makefile - telling ld.exe to use a linker script ("pei-x86-64.x") - in that linker script, reserving another 64K bytes between the (page-aligned) end of the executable file's headers and the start of its acual code,The intent is that the memory between #x11000 and #x21000 is mapped(readonly) and otherwise unused. We can achieve this effect in otherways on other platforms. remap_spjump() tries to write-enable a pagein this memory region (IIRC, at #x14000) so that something else canbe copied to that fixed address, and that fails under WINE. I'd guessthat the failure is caused by WINE's failure to have mapped the executableat the specifed image-base address in the first place, but that's justa guess.On Mon, 22 Jul 2013, dto at blocky.io wrote:> Greetings, Clozure CL community.> > I have a question about the "linker tricks" described near remap_spjump() in> the CCL so!
