Are there any guidelines on how much memory is required to run the tests? On my Mac I have 12 GB of RAM and a few hundred gigabytes of free disk space. The first time I did
- make THREADS=4 test
and I got a message
- Your system has run out of application memory
so I reran with
- make test
and left it running unattended. My machine crashed about an hour later.
Well, unfortunately one of the changes that just barely missesd the window for -rc1 was a fix to a rather serious memory leak in the compiler (#13426). I suspect this is the reason you are seeing such high memory footprints. Cheers, - Ben
