PolyML SRPM not building
by p.clayton＠eris.qinetiq.com 20 May '04

20 May '04

Hello all, I'm finding that the polyml source RPM unpacks certain files but doesn't build. I have (RedHat) Fedora Core 1. The contents of my terminal is below. In short: poly wasn't installed initially and the rpm command put files in /usr/src/redhat/{SOURCES, SPECS} but didn't build anything. (rpm took about 0.5s) Does anyone have any ideas? Will building the source RPM still include XMotif support if that's installed on my machine? Thanks, Phil.

Poly/ML on Mac OS X 10.3
by rda＠lemma-one.com 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

Every time you run poly, it does a memory access that causes a memory fault, which it then handles and recovers from - a perfectly reasonable way to do its memory management, I would say. Unfortunately, on Mac OS X, the memory fault triggers a crash log to be generated, and this causes quite an overhead (about 30% of the CPU time in my ProofPower build which runs poly a few hundred times). On Mac OS X 10.2, you could turn this off with the Console utility preferences, and that claws back the lost CPU, but you can't do this on Mac OS X 10.3. Has anyone got a work-around for this? I consider it to be a bug in Mac OS X and would report it to Apple if I had a simple program to demonstrate the problem (but the technique Poly/ML is using is quite a hard one, so that's not trivial). Regards, Rob.

time measurement
by p.clayton＠eris.qinetiq.com 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

All, I have a few questions about timing... 1. Are the times printed by PolyML.timing `user' times or elapsed times? (I suspect the first but would like to check...) 2. Do any of these times include garbage collection? 3. Is there any way for an ML program to access these times, i.e. can they be bound (perhaps as a record) to an ML name? (Either at the top-level only or even within a program for time so far.) 4. If the utime component of Posix.ProcEnv.times () was used to measure sections of code within a program would this time include interludes for garbage collection? (Is the garbage collector a different process and therefore not counted in this `user' time?) Thanks for any help, Phil.

The situation you describe is the reason that there's a difference between the GPL and the "Lesser GPL". Although I haven't read these through in detail I understand that gcc libraries are distributed under the Lesser GPL precisely because it doesn't include the clause you've quoted. If Poly/ML were distributed under the full GPL it would (as far as I can see) be impossible for a user to distribute a complete binary containing the Poly/ML run time system and database and also containing code that the user wanted to keep closed.

Extending stack limit
by pocm＠netvisao.pt 22 Mar '04

Hi, While playing with polyml limits I executed the function squares from Paulsons Book: fun squares r = let fun between (x, y) = (* all pair between x and y*) let val diff = r - x*x fun above y = (* all pairs above y*) if y>x then [] else if y*y < diff then above (y + 1) else if y*y = diff then (x, y) :: between(x-1, y+1) else (*y*y > diff*) between(x-1, y) in above y end; val firstx = floor(Math.sqrt(real r)) in between(firstx, 0) end; And then I executed and I got: > squares 3092481270109283; Warning - Increasing stack from 147456 to 294912 bytes Warning - Increasing stack from 294912 to 589824 bytes Warning - Increasing stack from 589824 to 1179648 bytes Warning - Increasing stack from 1179648 to 2359296 bytes Warning - Increasing stack from 2359296 to 4718592 bytes Warning - Increasing stack from 4718592 to 9437184 bytes Warning - Increasing stack from 9437184 to 18874368 bytes Warning - Increasing stack from 18874368 to 37748736 bytes Warning - Increasing stack from 37748736 to 67108860 bytes Warning - Stack limit reached - interrupting process Exception- Interrupt raised I know it's a huge number, that was the idea. :D How can I increase the stack limit?

Is Isabelle/PolyML reentrant? (fwd)
by johnm＠cse.ogi.edu 22 Mar '04

22 Mar '04

Hi, I originally sent this post to the Isabelle theorem prover users' mailing list. Larry Paulson suggested I forward it to the Poly ML mailing list as well. In particular, does Poly ML support the ability for C functions to call ML functions, like SML/NJ does? Thanks! -john -- John Matthews Assistant Professor johnm(a)cse.ogi.edu OGI School of Science & Engineering (503) 748-1220 Oregon Health & Science University http://cse.ogi.edu/~johnm Beaverton, OR USA ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 15:58:41 -0800 (PST) From: John Matthews <johnm(a)cse.ogi.edu> To: isabelle-users(a)cl.cam.ac.uk Subject: Is Isabelle/PolyML reentrant? Tom Harke and I are interested in modifying an external oracle (verification tool) for Isabelle that is written in C. We would like the oracle to call back to selected Isabelle tactics while it is running, in order to deal with verification conditions that the external oracle can't handle itself. For this to work, the foreign function interface of the underlying SML compiler needs to allow foreign functions to call SML functions. I've found documentation for SML/NJ that indicates that this is possible, but nothing in the Poly ML documentation says that this can be done. Does this mean that I will be limited to running Isabelle on SML/NJ? If so, is support for running Isabelle on SML/NJ going to continue, or will future versions of Isabelle be limited to running only on Poly ML? Thanks, -john
