Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build
on amd64.


Relevant part (hopefully):
The full build log is available from:
http://qa-logs.debian.net/2025/01/24/rocblas_5.5.1+dfsg-7_unstable.log

All bugs filed during this archive rebuild are listed at:

If you reassign this bug to another package, please mark it as 'affects'-ing
this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects

If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with mine
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

Hi Lucas,

The message "error: unable to execute command: Killed" is likely due to
running out of memory. My build on sid has continued further than yours,
but I have 64 GiB of RAM in my workstation.

Your build failed while compiling Kernels.cpp, which is a ~70 MiB
generated source file. While watching the build proceed in top, I've
seen clang take >5 GiB of RAM to build one translation unit.

If my build completes successfully, I will be downgrading the severity
from 'serious' to 'wishlist' (unless there are objections raised). I
feel that the rocblas build should be more efficient in its use of
system memory, but I don't think that's worth kicking it out of Testing.

Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
