- Subject: Spurious testsuite failures
Hi,
I'm getting lots of testsuite failures on sparc-sun-solaris. However,
these failures don't seem to be consistent over testsuit runs. I ran
the g++ testsuite twice in a row (with the same compiler!) once with 119
failures and a second time with only 50 failures. Closer inspection shows
that only 8 failures are common between the two consecutive runs.
>From looking at the testsuite log it seems that some error messages don't
make it to the log. All of the suprious failures are either
"test for error/warning" or "test for excess errors" The latter happens
if previous error message were missed and the compiler still exits with
a nonzero exit status.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? DejaGNU-Version is 1.4.1.
Any comments welcome. regards Christian
