Strange ‘abstract_call’ messages before code running

enjoyable · December 18, 2020, 5:44am

Hi I have been encountering this problem for both Julia 1.5.3 and 1.5, under both Julia Pro and VS Code.
Whenever I ran codes in Julia, there will always be some strange messages in the terminal, like

There are hundreds of lines or such messages each time and I have to wait for about 2 minutes before the code could run normally. Is there anyone who knows how to solve this? I have tried Julia 1.0 and 1.2 and there is no such issue. My system is Windows 10.

Does this also happen in the REPL? What about using the normal Julia binaries together with Atom, rather than JuliaPro?

enjoyable · December 18, 2020, 8:08am

The same problem still happens.

mkitti · December 18, 2020, 8:31am

It’s almost like a debugger is attached to the Julia process. How did you obtain Julia?

enjoyable · December 18, 2020, 8:33am

Hi I downloaded from Julia’s website

nilshg · December 18, 2020, 8:34am

Sorry just to confirm, when you download the Julia 1.5.3 executable from the Julia website, do a clean install on Windows, open the REPL (by just double clicking on the Julia icon on your desktop), and run

julia> 2+2

you get back all of those messages above, instead of just 4?

mkitti · December 18, 2020, 8:38am

In Powershell, what is the output of Get-ChildItem env: . I’m trying to see if there is anything in your environment that may be causing this.

You might want to delete your %USERPROFILE%\.julia folder or move it somewhere else as a test to see if it is anything in there.

You mentioned Julia Pro. Maybe try standard Julia: Download Julia

Hi Nilshg,
The result for both Julia 1.5.3 and Julia with VSCODE for the command is 4.
It seems that the error only happens when I run self-coded functions.

mkitti · December 20, 2020, 5:01am

You seem to have many versions of Julia installed. There’s JuliaPro, Julia 1.5.0_2 and Julia 1.5.3.

Just so we’re clear, also give us the output of versioninfo()

mkitti · December 20, 2020, 5:07am

Do you have a .julia\startup.jl ?

mkitti · December 20, 2020, 8:41am

Is the error message that you posted the entire thing?

I did not find starup.jl.

Hi what I posted is not the entire thing as there were too many lines of messages.
The beginning of the message is like below, which I copied from JuliaPro Terminal
( I did not manage to copy the error message using VScode as the message passed so quickly)

This is the most informative line so far.

mkitti · December 21, 2020, 6:27am

Does this happen with simple self-coded functions like f(x) = x*x ? Or particular ones?

It seems your self-coded functions seems to be running out of memory. Can you share with us a minimum working example of a self-coded function that causes these issues?

enjoyable · December 21, 2020, 7:20am

Hi the error does not occur for functions like f(x) = x*x.
There is no complicated calculation in the functions. And I can get the results from these functions after the end of the messages.
For Julia 1.0 and 1.2 versions, I do not encounter such issues either.

mkitti · December 21, 2020, 9:15am

Do you have any large tuples?

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/38364

mkitti · December 21, 2020, 9:19am

I think we really need a Minimum Working Example (MWE) that demonstrates the issue to progress further. Could you try to isolate what lines in your function are causing the issue?
