Hi -- I'm running the gcc test suite on powerpc-unknown-eabisim on the trunk and I get results which are different from one run to the next. When I run the failing tests by hand, all pass. Mike Stein also has noted that some of the tests are intermittent failures.
There are only a few test cases which I've noticed this non-reproducible behavior: gcc.c-torture/execute/builtins/fprintf.c gcc.c-torture/execute/builtins/fputs.c gcc.c-torture/execute/builtins/printf.c gcc.c-torture/execute/20020406-1.c gcc.c-torture/execute/fprintf-1.c gcc.c-torture/execute/fprintf-chk-1.c gcc.c-torture/execute/printf-chk-1.c gcc.c-torture/execute/va-arg-21.c gcc.c-torture/execute/vfprintf-1.c gcc.c-torture/execute/vfprintf-chk-1.c gcc.dg/packed-array.c gcc.dg/matrix/matrix-2.c Clearly, something is not initialized or is being overwritten. I'm assuming that this is a problem only on powerpc and perhaps only powerpc-eabi. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get one of these tests to fail consistently, or a different approach to finding the cause of the intermittent failures? -- Michael Eager ea...@eagercon.com 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077
