Tests fail on Julia 0.3.3

[rened]

Pkg.test("Mocha") succeeds on 0.3.2, but fails on 0.3.3 with the following error. Tested both with Mocha 0.0.2 as well as current master. Tested on OSX 10.9.

Thanks!

This seems to be a problem in the OpenBLAS library you got with Julia. I've had loads of that on OS X, but this was recently improved. Note that if you are using Julia from Homebrew, you may need to remove its dependencies and reinstall them (check last paragraph here).

[rened]

Thanks for the hint! But I compiled Julia from source (both 0.3.2 and 0.3.3) and did not set any USE_SYSTEM_xxx, so I believe it should work in both cases.

Hi, Thanks for reporting this! This might be an issue related to Julia changing to 64bit version of OpenBLAS in 0.3.3. There is a few place that I have to use an undocumented API to access the built-in OpenBLAS, but I think that API has changed after 0.3.2. I will test on a 0.3.3 installation and try to fix it. Didn't know julia v0.3.3 already released, cheers!

[rened]

Great, thanks for the quick response! In the meantime I'll just use 0.3.2, no problem.

[pluskid]

@rened can you give me the output of the following command in your julia prompt (in v0.3.3)?

Base.blasfunc(:sgemm_)

[rened]

That would be:

  | | |_| | | | (_| |  |  Version 0.3.3 (2014-11-23 20:19 UTC)
 _/ |\__'_|_|_|\__'_|  |
|__/                   |  x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0

julia> Base.blasfunc(:sgemm_)
"sgemm_64_"

and

  | | |_| | | | (_| |  |  Version 0.3.2 (2014-10-21 22:05 UTC)
 _/ |\__'_|_|_|\__'_|  |
|__/                   |  x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0

julia> Base.blasfunc(:sgemm_)
ERROR: blasfunc not defined

[pluskid]

@rened Cool! As I expected. It should have been fixed in bb633ca I just committed. Could you test if the latest master works on your side?

[pluskid]

To get the latest git version:

Pkg.clone("https://github.com/pluskid/Mocha.jl.git")

[rened]

Works like a charm :-) Thanks a lot!

It seems the Base.blasfunc is remove from the 0.5 version. And it fail to pass the test (see below).
I think the src/compatibility.jl file is out of date for julia v0.5. To make it work, modify it like this

using Compat

function blasfunc(name)
    try
        return Base.blasfunc(name)
    catch
        str_name = string(name)
        fnc_symb = eval(:(Base.@blasfunc $strname))
        fnc_name = string(fnc_symb)
        return fnc_name
    end
end

@chenych11 Thanks for reporting this! I have incorporated your fix. Could you test if the latest code works on your side? Thanks!

[lostanlen]

Thank you for the fix @chenych11. My Travis CI still relies on Mocha v0.1.0, thus fails on the 0.5.0-dev Julia branch. Could you please make a bugfix release v0.1.1. with this change ?
