Bug ID: 112396
Summary: "make check" should not error out, even when some
checks failed
Product: gcc
Version: 14.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libbacktrace
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: fxcoudert at gcc dot gnu.org
CC: ian at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
The behaviour in GCC is pretty consistent: parts of the testsuite do not error
out in make, even when individual tests fail.
The one exception is libbacktrace, which does error out when one or more test
failed:
make[4]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 1
make[3]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 2
make[2]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[2]: Target `check' not remade because of errors.
make[1]: *** [check-target-libbacktrace] Error 2
This means that if, like me, you forgot to run "make check" with -k, you get
stopped in the middle of testing. To be nice to users, and for consistency, it
would be nice if this behaviour was changed.
