Description Aaron Schulz 2014-03-23 21:21:20 UTC

See http://hhvm.com/blog/431/on-garbage-collection. Cycle collection seems to still be off by default.

Comment 1 Aaron Schulz 2014-04-11 18:35:15 UTC

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/125361/ should kill some cycles that could involve ParserOutput (which would suck for the mass messaging jobs).

Comment 2 Aaron Schulz 2014-07-02 19:13:40 UTC

The segfault issues are few enough to actually see that this does not appear to be a problem atm (based on job runner testing).
