Is O3 too much? or where is Zeta users feedback?
Updated!
Mentioned below ugly crashes are definitely related to BeOS 5.1d specifics (Dano/Zeta). Installed Dano on same machine where it worked stable with R5 - and got same crashes. Everytime something in BPrivate*****region is behaving wrongly.
Unfortunately seems that nobody knows about Dano/Zeta internals (excluding case when Dianne explained some things).



Ok people. 200 downloads of first Mozilla-bone O3 build.
No one reported crash to me.
But when i uploaded bit updated build today, thaflo reported bad occasional crashes on his Zeta Neo + Athlon XP 2800+.
I asked him to test previous version. Same s*t happens.
Then i found with special efforts another Zeta Neo user with Athlon 1.8 (AnEvilYak). Same with both O3 versions - occasional crashes on clicking, resizing.

I suspect that O3 optimization is still really risky, but question is, why nobody of those 200 downloaders didn't report it before???

P.S. at my PIII-550 (R5+Bone7a both builds are stable)

custom splash screen

maybe users have come to accept the bleeding edge builds to be less than rock-solid(as they're usually in development)?

what about including a custom splash screen to the effect of:

The BeZilla Team
wants you to report crashes!
Thank you very much


could this also be modded into the help/about menu?
it could encourage feedback w/minimal annoyance to the end user.

I don't think so. I used the previous O3 version for a while in Zeta Neo and had no problems. I just tried this build, and it crashes whenever I try to scroll down. Here is the stack crawl:

Thanks, Koki, for confirmation.
Can you tell also your CPU type and speed?
I removed that download fronm bebits until i fix at least scroll - hope it happens soon

yeah, it fits in that case.
Wondering if P4 and Zeta produces same result.
at moment i'm posting using this build from 2 GHz Celeron R5+Bone and it see,s working fine.
So it is still question, which component effects it so badly - Athlon or Zeta or coincidence of both

Unfortunately this don't narrow our field of investigations as much as i wish. Dano and Zeta use same (patched)kernel and same AppServer.
Did you test also previous O3 version?

Same result, I'm sorry to say. Again, tested on Dano/BONE. Crash happens immediately upon first try to scroll. Doesn't seem to matter whether the scroll is done using mouse-wheel, clicking the "down" arrow or clicking in the scrollbar itself.

thanks anyway. This crash seems bit different
But i didn't understand your sentence -
"tested on Dano/BONE."
Did you test it on two different installation - one of those is Dano
and second is R5+Bone?

This is very important to differentiate, as app-server and messaging system are very different in those cases

sorry for the lack of clarity. I tested on Dano 5.1d0 Nov 15, 2001 13:06:19. It's really redundant to say Dano/BONE, since Dano includes BONE. I have a couple of spare partitions; over the next few days I'll try to install a 5.0.3+BONE system so I can test on both.

R5+BONE7a v. DANO 5.1d0 on AMD
[info]tigerdog
2004-12-17 09:00 pm UTC (link)
I built a new partition and loaded R5 with patches through 5.0.3, then loaded BONE 7a and patched the BONE7a kernel. Email if you want more system info. CPU is Athlon XP 2000+ overclocked at 1750 MHz.
Here are the results using the "test 20" build:

R5+BONE7a System version Dano0, Kernel May 11 2001 15:40:59. SCROLL OK

Exp/Dano System version 5.1d0, Kernel Nov 15 2001 13:06:19. CRASH

Problem seems related to the Dano/Zeta kernel, not the Athon XP, as far as I can tell. I hope this helps.

thanks for testing efforts
I get same idea bit earlier, as you can notice from updated status of this main posting, but now i'm absolutely sure.

Unfortunately inspite my several code changes i couldn't get rid of that crash in last two hours, so now doing full rebuild with O0 optimization, to see if it helps

It may appear that for Dano/Zeta we will need O0 build made with gcc 2.9 while for R5 can use very optimized O3 builds with gcc 2.953

If the difference is the gcc version, do you think recompiling gcc under DANO and/or Zeta would fix it?
