Just as a follow up to this - since not running fullscreen (as in not click on the green expand button in OSX) and having saved my image once - the stability seems to be much better. I’ve had an image running in the background for over a week now with no issue (whereas before it crashed in less

Hmmm Ben - its interesting that other languages/environments show that same stack error - and they seem to hint at memory issues- although in our case I’m working with a simple Pharo image that has very little in it (I’ve had much larger ones in Pharo 6.x without issue). Interestingly - since

I’ve actually being using both - but 32bit has generally been considered the older more stable cousin (until Pharo 6 - where it was felt that 64bit was now just as stable). I only mentioned it - because the zeroconf example that has crashed a few of my several times - was 32 bit (but I have

I can't tell, but in your initial email you mentionned using the 64bits VM, so the image is 64bits too. So if you are using 32bits, you can try 64bitsVM https://get.pharo.org/64/ Le 16/02/2019 à 12:01, Tim Mackinnon a écrit : > As mentioned, I’m on OSX HighSierra I get a zero conf image (which I

Depends on what you are doing, I guess. I am using the same P7 32bits image on linux since June 2018, but I am doing bare bone smalltalk, and I don't use iceberg. It could be the source of your problem as it is still new, or it could be the 64bits image/vm. You could give a try for the 32bits

[Pharo-users] Stability of Pharo 7 vs 6?

2019-02-15 Thread Tim Mackinnon
I’m not sure if this is born out by others - but I’m finding that Pharo 7 is a bit less stable than Pharo 6 - I’m seeing quite a few seg-faults where the vm dies and terminates - both when the image is left running for a while, but also in fresh images where I do an Iceberg load of my projects.
