 I know I've been completely ignoring ECPG-Check buildfarm results
 for awhile now.

I was aware of this Tom, but didn't find the time to dig into it yet.

 there was also some discussion off-list last week with Michael - I have 
 arranged for an account on that box for him but I'm not sure if he 
 already found time to investigate.

I did today. This seemed like a strange one, but apparantly a gcc
ABI-bug workaround interfered with the compiler used here because the
workaround wasn't covering all positions.

make check now gives a full list of OKs on Stefan's machine. Thanks for
the account.

[HACKERS] Why is ecpg segfaulting on buildfarm member clownfish?

2007-02-01 Thread Tom Lane
Has anyone looked into $SUBJECT?  I just today realized that the
ECPG-Check failures on that machine are not the run-of-the-mill
small difference in the expected results.  Rather, most of the
tests are actually dumping core on the client side:

testing connect/test1.pgc  ... skipped
testing connect/test2.pgc  ... Segmentation Fault - core 
dumped
FAILED (log)
testing connect/test3.pgc  ... Segmentation Fault - core 
dumped
FAILED (log)
testing connect/test4.pgc  ... ok
testing connect/test5.pgc  ... ok
testing compat_informix/charfuncs.pgc  ... ok
testing compat_informix/dec_test.pgc   ... ok
testing compat_informix/rfmtdate.pgc   ... ok
testing compat_informix/rfmtlong.pgc   ... ok
testing compat_informix/rnull.pgc  ... Segmentation Fault - core 
dumped
FAILED (log, output)
testing compat_informix/test_informix.pgc  ... Segmentation Fault - core 
dumped
FAILED (log, output)
testing compat_informix/test_informix2.pgc ... Segmentation Fault - core 
dumped
FAILED (log, output)
testing preproc/comment.pgc... ok
testing preproc/define.pgc ... Segmentation Fault - core 
dumped
FAILED (log, output)
etc etc

BTW, this is a perfect example of why it's not a good idea to allow
minor regression failures to go unfixed --- people become desensitized.
I know I've been completely ignoring ECPG-Check buildfarm results
for awhile now.

I already reported that a while ago:

there was also some discussion off-list last week with Michael - I have
