julia @0.6.2_3: destroot stage of install fails "no more memory"

[p-bro]

An install of the current version of julia fails in the destroot stage with the following error:

LoadError("sysimg.jl", 361, LoadError("dates/Dates.jl", 49, LoadError("dates/io.jl", 285, ErrorException("PCRE JIT error: no more memory"))))

This happens reproducibly with different variants (I used +gcc7 and +gcc8), after port clean --all julia.

The full log is attached.

System information:

Hi, i can confirm the same "no more memory" error. This is open now for 2 months. anybody?

So this is not my area, but the log indicates

LoadError("sysimg.jl", 361, LoadError("dates/Dates.jl", 49, LoadError("dates/io.jl", 285, ErrorException("PCRE JIT error: no more memory"))))

which suggests the pcre JIT is running out of memory. This is a known issue, and there are no shortage of internet reports of similar errors in other software that uses pcre, for example in PHP <​https://externals.io/message/87245>.

How about updating julia to current 1.1.0? The JIT stack size was enhanced from the tiny 32K default several releases ago.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

julia was updated to 1.1.1. Do you still see this problem with that version?

The "Staging julia into destroot" takes a long time, but "Activating julia @0.6.2_3+gcc9" then works for me.

Replying to ryandesign:

julia was updated to 1.1.1. Do you still see this problem with that version?

1.1.1 worked for me; building, staging, installation take time, but without a hitch.

I think this can be closed. Julia versions >1.0 have been working in Macports for awhile.
