<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">Antariksh and I have hit a generation debugging mystery, that I'm hoping for some help with. Our grammar (of Marathi) can generate for some strings (with both ace and lkb) but for this particular item:<span class=""><br><br><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><b>ravi vicaar-t-o kii tsor zhop-t-o kaa</b></div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">(Ravi asks if the thief sleeps)</div><br clear="all"></span><div><span class=""><div>it gives a "Stack overflow (signal 1000)" error on the lkb and just no results with ace. Turning packing off doesn't affect things. I played around a bit and found that if I set *maximum-number-of-edges* to 717, I run out of edges before the stack overflow, but with 718 or more it's back to that. (I tried diffing the output of (pprint *gen-chart*) in those two conditions, but that wasn't informative ... too many spurious differences.) batch-check-morphology() ran happily for a while and then returned nil, which I assume means no problems. Setting *gen-packing-p* to nil doesn't change the behavior. <br><br>This is clearly a problem with the grammar, but I'm at a loss as to how to localize it. Are there any other tools or strategies I should be aware of?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Emily<br><br></div></span><div>In case it's helpful, the grammar can be found here:<br></div><div><a href="http://faculty.washington.edu/ebender/mar.tgz" target="_blank">http://faculty.washington.edu/ebender/mar.tgz</a><br></div><span class=""><div><br></div><div>ace output:<br><br>ubuntu@UbuntuLKB:~/Downloads/mar$ ace -g mar.dat -Tf1 | ace -g mar.dat -e<br>ravi vicaar-t-o kii tsor zhop-t-o kaa<br>NOTE: 1 readings, added 653 / 401 edges to chart (76 fully instantiated, 84 actives used, 49 passives used) RAM: 3766k<br>NOTE: 122 passive, 620 active edges in final generation chart; built 305 passives total.
