Description WGH 2020-01-15 18:06:08 UTC
For unknown reason, I'm unable to emerge dev-lang/erlang-22.1.4. Previous stable verison, dev-lang/erlang-21.1.1, emerges fine.

Here's the failing command:

You have slightly less than 8GB RAM.

> MAKEOPTS="-j21 -l4"

8GB / 21 ~ 350 megabytes per make job. erlc is rather undemanding in terms of CPU/RAM resources, but it would still be useful to check if you can reproduce the problem with either more RAM installed or with fewer make jobs.

According to [0] that CPU has two cores (or four threads). How did you end up with -j21? :-)

I'm using distcc. erlc doesn't benefit from it, though.

> 8GB / 21 ~ 350 megabytes per make job. erlc is rather undemanding in terms of CPU/RAM resources, but it would still be useful to check if you can reproduce the problem with either more RAM installed or with fewer make jobs.

I still have 16G of swap, and I think it would thrash for a while if there was lack of RAM insted of crashing rapidly (not to mention that 16G should be enough not to crash). I rerun it while closely monitoring htop, and there were no memory consumption anomalies (and no OOM killer either).

Anyway, just in case, I disabled distcc, set -j4, and run it again. And wow, it didn't crash this time.

I tested some other combinations:

* -j4             - OK
* distcc -j4      - OK
* distcc -j4 -l4  - OK
* distcc -j21 -l4 - fail
* j21 -l4         - fail

So it's somehow caused by large job number, but not by distcc.

It's still looks odd as 1) the error message is cryptic 2) there're no typical signs of memory shortage.
Comment 5 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-01-16 20:34:37 UTC
Does 'dmesg' report any problems?
Comment 6 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-01-16 20:55:23 UTC
Reproduced locally with
    time MAKEOPTS='-j21 -l4' emerge -v1 dev-lang/erlang --quiet-build=n
as well.

Nope. Does yours?
Comment 8 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-01-16 22:47:00 UTC
Mine doesn't either. I hoped for a simple OOM background process crash. But looks like it's a make dependency problem.

If I read that correctly it just says that bytecode .beam file of prepare_templates.erl attempted to load bytecode file of asn1ct_func.erl module and failed.

Can you try to torture attached file to see if it still produces errors?

You can drop patch to /etc/portage/patches/dev-lang/erlang/ to get it applied by the ebuild.

The patch seems to have helped me but it might need more depends.

    make[2]: *** [Makefile:139: asn1ct_eval_ext.erl] Error 1
    ```
    
    Here `asn1ct_eval_ext.erl` attempts to load `asn1ct_func.beam`
    via `prepare_templates.erl` before it's compiled into `.beam` file.
    
    The change pulls in a dependency on `asn1ct_func.beam`.

Not sure about torture, but I compiled several times with this patch and never got any errors.

Without this patch compilation consistently ends with that error.
