Subject: [9front] prof profiler changing program result
Date: Sat, 9 Dec 2023 19:29:29 +0100 (GMT+01:00) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c27b29a0-d34e-4f53-898f-718797a46ca4@sirjofri.de> (raw)
Hello,
today I did an implementation of mandelbrot and learned to use prof to profile my program. I noticed that the mandelbrot result is different when linked using -p. Instead of the nice mandelbrot image I get a circle (but still with lots of details). Funnily enough, julia seems to work better.
Since my installation of 9front isn't always up to date that issue might already be fixed. I also doubt that the issue appears very often, and I didn't find any notes about issues like that when reading prof(1).
For reproduction, find this small repository: https://shithub.us/sirjofri/fractals/HEAD/info.html .
You should be able to just run `mk` to build the program, and use `mk test` to build sample images. The mkfile contains a commented out "-p" ldflag which you can use to reproduce the issue.
In general, I don't expect anyone to go this far at this stage (or at all). I'll probably take a deeper look and try to find out what's happening. Did anyone encounter other (or similar) issues when using prof and the -p flag?
