- Subject: zillions of testsuite failures
Is anybody seeing lots of testsuite failures all of a sudden? I'm
getting huge numbers; many, possibly all of them (e.g. every MI test
fails), seem to have to do with how GDB is invoked. It seems like, at
some point, invocations start getting
<directory>/testsuite/gdb.base/args 1 '' '' 3
tacked onto them. E.g. the last line of gdb.sum is:
/extra/gdb/mirror/src/gdb/testsuite/../../gdb/gdb version 2003-01-15-cvs --args /extra/gdb/mirror/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/args 1 '' '' 3
Looking at this a bit further, it seems like this 'global GDBFLAGS' that
args.exp sets is persisting for the rest of the entire test run. So I
think there's something wrong with args.exp.
On a separate, I get the following results from gdb.base/advance.exp
Running ./gdb.base/advance.exp ...
PASS: gdb.base/advance.exp: advance line number
PASS: gdb.base/advance.exp: malformed advance
PASS: gdb.base/advance.exp: advance func
FAIL: gdb.base/advance.exp: advance function not called by current frame
FAIL: gdb.base/advance.exp: find line number containing "break here"
PASS: gdb.base/advance.exp: set breakpoint at call to func3
FAIL: gdb.base/advance.exp: continue to call to func3 in main
FAIL: gdb.base/advance.exp: advance function called as param
FAIL: gdb.base/advance.exp: advance with no argument
This happens before the args fiasco, so I think the failures are
legit. Are they known? I'll append the relevant part of my gdb.log
after my signature.
