Comment 1 Gabriel Kerneis 2013-09-04 06:57:28 UTC
It might be worth upgrading to the latest upstream version (2.09) and see if this bug is still present. I'll give it a try because hevea is the only missing buildreq for ocaml-cil on ppc.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 15:12:15 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Jerry James 2014-01-16 20:11:16 UTC
This still happens on ppc64 in Rawhide, with hevea 2.12, ocaml-4.01.0-4.fc21.ppc64 and glibc-2.18.90-17.fc21.ppc64.  Running inside gdb shows this backtrace:

Apparently, .camlLexer__handle_lexical_error_1023 triggers infinite recursion between .camlLexer__action_1065 and .camlLexer____ocaml_lex_action_rec_1066.  Some disassembly from the relevant parts of the code:

Adding the ocaml maintainer to the bug, since this looks like a bug in the ocaml compiler for ppc64.

Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-01-16 21:43:52 UTC
Does increasing the size of the stack help at all?

There are various known cases in the compiler (eg.
http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=5626) where it's
highly recursive, and works on x86-64 but fails on ppc64
where IIRC the default stack size is much smaller or the
default frame size is much bigger.

If it is a case like this then I'm afraid upstream
won't fix it.  See that bug report.  However you can
easily work around it with ulimit.

Comment 5 Jerry James 2014-01-16 22:13:06 UTC
Well, look at that.  You're right; adding "ulimit -s unlimited" to %build does the trick.  Thanks, Richard!
