Thanks for the report. Failures in test 79 and 82 are already well-reported and fixed in CVS. I'm focusing on the other thing you turned up: > Platform: alpha-dec-osf5.1 > Compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 > Configure options: ./configure --prefix=/freeware/gnu-tools --exec- prefix=/freeware/gnu-tools/alpha > Build: Builds correctly > Check: Error; relevant output below > > [...] > Checking ./096.sysval > ./check-them: 36246 Hangup > <at> ../doc/m4.texinfo:3788: Origin of test > ./096.sysval: stdout mismatch > 1,4d0 > < > < 256 > < > < 2304 This was a testsuite bug, for assuming that kill -1 reliably kills shells with signal 1 (as a counterexample, ksh traps SIGHUP and exits normally with status 127), but I've already tried to improve things in CVS. So far, I have not found any counter-case for signal 13 reliably killing a shell. What does this output for you, with m4 1.4.5? $ echo 'syscmd(kill -13 $$)sysval' | m4 -- Eric Blake _______________________________________________ Bug-m4 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-m4
