Subject: Unreliable test suites?
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:58:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86CED23D-95E1-4A1F-B656-EDD2A2244FE7@dell.com> (raw)
I'm doing some work on gdb and want to run the testsuites to confirm that I didn't mess it up.
The problem is that a number of them seem to be quite unreliable. I've seen test runs where gdb.btrace/step.exp and/or stepi.exp have a pile of failures, but then when I rerun either just those tests, or the whole suite, they pass.
Since I haven't a clue how the reverse execution stuff works, I don't know if this is expected. It seems strange. I also don't know what to do about it if it's not supposed to be like that. For now, I'm just running things a couple of times, and if they pass once, I call it good enough.
