Well, after many months of effort, my LLVM-based garbage collector is finally passing its unit tests. This represents a significant milestone for me in the development of my programming language, Tart. The collector itself is fairly rudimentary - a single-generation, copying collector. It does not yet support multi-threaded programs, but in practice there's no serious obstacle to supporting

After to speaking to Devang and a number of other people at the developer's conference, I was able to make some forward progress on getting debugging to work. I'm now able to actually single-step through my program and set breakpoints, and examine function parameters. However, I'm also seeing a lot of new problems which weren't exposed before.

Interestingly, I also get a similar error in a different executable (my unittest): pure virtual method called terminate called without an active exception 0 tartc 0x00000001010a8265 PrintStackTrace(void*) + 53 1 tartc 0x00000001010a88cc SignalHandler(int) + 364 2 libSystem.B.dylib 0x00007fff831341ba _sigtramp + 26 3 libSystem.B.dylib 0x7261742e65637365 _sigtramp +

I'm trying to track down the problem with the assertion failure in SelectionDAGBuilder.cpp. This is the code: *case* *Intrinsic*::gcroot: *if* (GFI) { *const* Value *Alloca = I.getArgOperand(0); *const* Constant *TypeMap = cast<Constant>(I.getArgOperand(1)); * FrameIndexSDNode *FI = cast<FrameIndexSDNode>(getValue(Alloca).getNode());*

I'm working on the code to handle GC tracing of "intermediate values" (as described in the GC doc), and I've run into a weird problem. (Note, this has nothing to do with the patch I have proposed, this error occurs with regular old pointer-allocas.) The exception I am getting occurs in this code here in SelectionDAGBuilder.cpp: *case* *Intrinsic*::gcroot: *if* (GFI) {

Hi Talin, I think that the framework for GC assumes llvm.gcroot to be in the first block. If it is not the case in your example, it will break these assumptions.

Well, I am much happier now that I understand about dsymutil, and can actually step through my program in gdb. However, there are still some issues that are puzzling me. 1) First off, the debugger appears to stop at odd points. The IR for my main function looks correct to me: define i32 @"main(tart.core.Array[tart.core.String])->int"(%"tart.core.Array[tart.core.String]"*

Well, after some investigation I have a few more clues as to what is going on. I have a module which contains a call to an external native function. This native function lives in a static library, and there is an external declaration for it in the module. I find that I can run "llvm-ld -disable-opts -native -l mylibrary test.bc" and it works fine. That is, llvm-ld is able to
