- Subject: Problem with merge
Hi all,
I have had a bit of a problem with the merge, particularly with having
it run the test suite after a particular merge. I thought I could point
the finger at Phil's patch to breakpoint.c, but it seems he has wiggled
off the hook as he has backed his patch out and the error still occurs.
I thought I would give a few details here and if anyone sees anything
familiar please provide some input.
The error that occurs is that the test suite barfs at the "break.exp"
test by looping forever and finally consuming all of memory until the
system locks up and has to have its power cycled. These tests are being
run on an x86_64 running Fedora 10, although it has also failed on
Fedora 8. Here is the output from running the test suite:
runtest break.exp --verbose --verbose break.exp

FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: (timeout) finish from called function
The above "FAIL" message occurs after about a minute of running. If you
do not abort the test at this point, gdb gradually consumes all of
memory(watching "top") and locks the system up.
If anyone has seen this kind of failure before, any input would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick
