| deekej | hello chrisl, it's possible there's a new bug in Ghostscript, but it wasn't completely identified yet | 12:20.41 |
| | It's beening currently discussed at ImageMagick's github: | 12:20.57 |
| | https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/948 | 12:20.58 |
| | "Is it a bug in Ghostscript? Likely, but we can't confirm other than looking at an strace and seeing the file descriptor number jumping for each invocation of the Ghostscript library with the new_instance() API call." | 12:21.29 |
| | ImageMagick is able to run out of file descriptors when doing some tests because of it | 12:21.56 |
| | but this can be an issue related to latest glibc/gcc as well | 12:22.17 |
| | (the recent comments discuss this more) | 12:22.51 |
| chrisl | Hmm, when they say "the file descriptor number jumping for each invocation of the Ghostscript library with the new_instance() API call" - are they shutting down gs properly after each invokation? | 12:23.36 |
| deekej | that's something I can't answer as an intermediatery | 12:24.12 |
| | it might be easier for you to ask them directly | 12:24.24 |
| chrisl | It might be easier for them to talk to us directly - I'm not inclined to chase them about their problem. The best thing would be if they can create a simple C "test harness" that illustrates the problem, then open a bug about it | 12:25.49 |
| | There are *so* many variables involved | 12:26.59 |
| deekej | ok :) | 12:28.20 |
| chrisl | Hopefully, they're code to call Ghostscript is fairly self contained, and easy to isolate | 12:29.05 |
| | Just *please* don't let it be C++ | 12:29.14 |
| | :-) | 12:29.20 |
| | deekej: did you see the comment on https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699068 ? | 12:46.15 |
| deekej | Yes, I have answered you there. :) | 12:47.22 |
| | I'm OK with the modification :) | 12:47.34 |
| chrisl | Ah, thanks - my mail client hadn't picked up the notification | 12:47.49 |
| deekej | no problem :) | 12:48.19 |
| | chrisl: I guess the 9.23 is coming out soon, right? | 12:57.56 |
| | I'll try to finish the pkg-config patch before it (hopefully) | 12:58.13 |
| chrisl | Too late - the release is underway - we should be starting the testing later today | 13:02.52 |
| deekej | ah, ok :) | 13:04.04 |
| | Will the https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699068 make it into 9.23 as well? | 13:42.31 |
| chrisl | deekej: yes | 13:49.40 |
| deekej | chrisl: ok, thanks :) | 13:49.50 |
| chrisl | deekej: I hadn't pushed it and closed the bug until I was sure you were happy with the way I'd changed it | 13:51.30 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2018/03/08)>>> | |
