Could you post the matching test output (just the test output, not the whole build log) here, please ? > sparc builds run all the way through but still unstable at times. > 1a) whether the tests should be in (and run) the ON source tree vs > a separate tree. Seperation of the test suite sources is not possible as they are delivered to usr/demo/ksh/tests/ , too. And there are the usual problems that 1) the test gate is not open (yet) and 2) the test gate and the OS/Net sources must be 100% in sync (which appears to be a tricky and on-going problem as far as I heared in the past). > I'll let the code review process deal with that. What about this: We disable the test run in the default build but keep the "testshell" target around ? AFAIM that should be acceptable for gatekeepers as the test suite would no longer disturb the build... > 2) ksh93 getconf - Glenn/Roland > Sounds like Glenn is getting close here and we have to wait for this. > > 3) ctfconvert:pics/wordexp.o: Couldn't parse stab "#vla0:(0, 14)" - Roland > I believe this is a performance issue which Roland could > bug fix later? It's not exactly a performance issue since the code is doing a |fork()|,|exec()|-sequence later... it was originally thought to test the C99 VLAs in OS/Net code. Originally it worked perfectly (with Sun Studio 10) but now it bites back badly with Sun Studio 11. And a fix for this problem is not available and it doesn't seem to be available in the next month. And even if there would be a fix we could need a "flag day" to deal with the problem that the ctf* tools need to updated to reflect the change. Or short: This is hopeless (and I am close to develop depressions here because yet another feature in the tree has been slaughted... ;-( ). I just rip this stuff out and replace it with non-VLA code... ;-( > 4) build cleanup - Roland/Craig > I gave Roland a bunch of make clean/clobber stuff to go do. > Still one output popping out of the build that should not. > [attached] Attached... where ? ---- Bye, ROland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
