Bizarre crash involving local symbol and computing basis in parallel #3439

Open mahrud opened 3 weeks ago

mahrud commented 3 weeks ago

I accidentally made a typo in a random piece of code I wrote, and I can't understand the ensuing crash. To replicate, put this in a file and run from "needs" until the end.

await = method(Dispatch => Thing)
await Thing := identity
await BasicList := L -> apply(L, await)
await Task := await @@ taskResult

async = method(Dispatch => Thing)
async Function := f -> (x -> schedule(f, x))

repeat = (n, R) -> (
    if n == 1 then return n;
    r := {repeat(n//2, R), repeat(n//2, R)};
    basis(10, ideal vars R);
    t) --                                <-- here is my typo!
repeat = async repeat

end--
restart
needs "parallel.m2"

R = ZZ/101[x_0..x_10]
elapsedTime await repeat(allowableThreads*2, R)

Note the typo I made, the t should have been an r. Here is what I got on a 1.24.05 binary:

i1 : needs "parallel.m2"

i2 : 
     R = ZZ/101[x_0..x_10]

o2 = R

o2 : PolynomialRing

i3 : elapsedTime await repeat(allowableThreads*2, R)
 -- 0.38629 seconds elapsed

o3 = t

o3 : Symbol

If I fix the t to r then I don't get this error. It also doesn't happen if the first input to repeat is at most a little above allowableThreads.

What on earth is happening?

@d-torrance is there a way to retrieve all current active tasks, or a way to cancel everything still running?

d-torrance commented 2 weeks ago

I don't believe so. That would be very nice to have!
