Original bug ID: 5945
Reporter: bvaugon
Assigned to: @damiendoligez
Status: closed (set by @damiendoligez on 2013-07-17T11:51:30Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: minor
Version: 4.00.1
Target version: 4.01.0+dev
Fixed in version: 4.01.0+dev
Category: runtime system and C interface
Monitored by: @gasche

Bug description

In the OCaml runtime, the contants representing the minor heap bounds Minor_heap_min and Minor_heap_max are sometimes used as byte number and sometimes as word number.

The comments near declarations of these constants (from config.h) tells that Minor_heap_* should be word numbers.

The attached patch fixes this problem.

Steps to reproduce

This problem can be observed in two different ways:

1/ Break an assertion with a valid minor heap size initialization:

$ grep Minor_heap_max [OCAML_PATH]/byterun/config.h
#define Minor_heap_max (1 << 28)
$ ocamlc -use-runtime [OCAML_PATH]/byterun/ocamlrund hw.ml -o hw
$ CAMLRUNPARAM=s=200000000 ./hw
file minor_gc.d.c; line 82 ### Assertion failed: size <= Minor_heap_max

2/ Impossibility to dynamically change minor heap size to a valid value:

With the same Minor_heap_max (1 << 28) from config.h, run this OCaml program:

Gc.set { (Gc.get ()) with Gc.minor_heap_size = 200000000 };;
Printf.printf "%d\n" (Gc.get ()).Gc.minor_heap_size;;

-> 67108864

Additional information

This problem comes from gc_ctrl.c and minor_gc.c, see ocaml-4.00.1-minor-heap-sizes.diff.
