Build failures, possibly 32 bit only, with OCaml 4.13.1

Build failures, possibly 32 bit only, with OCaml 4.13.1

Hi Julia,

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=76740903

I observed build failures with OCaml 4.13.1.  They manifest as
segmentation faults.  Unfortunately it's not easy to get the core
dump, but I might be able to get a stack trace later.  Apart from that
you can look at the build logs by clicking through the red links above
and going to "build.log".

The common factor may be 32 bit platforms.

We (Fedora) don't really care too much about cocci on 32 bit since
it's a development tool and every developer these days has a 64 bit
machine.  (It could of course be something unrelated to 32 bit)

Rich.

Thanks for the report, I will see if something can be done.

After saying all that I noticed there's a newer version available,
and upgrading actually fixes it:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=76743322

I didn't notice any particular change that mentioned "32 bit".
So that's .. strange, but at least it's fixed!

Rich.

Hi,

According to the log, it seems to be some warning about some deprecated 
function calls and the error was about Python integration.


Great if it is fixed !

Nico.
