Would this fully resolve Simon concern about > stack traces, or would something still be different about stack traces? There doesn't exist a way to do this now, but it'd be trivial to add a way. I won't claim it fixes all stack traces differences, but I'd think compiling using "-fno-inline -fno-optimize-sibling-calls" would get us pretty far in crashing stack traces being similar enough.

I believe Mark's proposal, initially, is just to make JSC do this. So I don't see the point of compiling WTF differently. JSC can kick off its own build, and run Debug+O3 tests faster than it can run Debug+O0 tests. Given people working on JSC want this, and people working on JSC defend these tests, and that these test results are more stable (see below), we should make this change for JSC. I was trying to convince folks defending non-JSC testing, that they too, should want this. I'm not going to pull teeth here. If folks want their tests to take ~10x longer to run, they're entitled to make that tradeoff. > > And again, on the run more tests front, it would be helpful to know whether > this change was enough to get the stress tests running or not. My experience running the tests locally supports this fully. I don't get timeouts when running O3+Debug locally. When running Debug+O0 locally, I'd get timeouts all the time, and the total test run would take ~4-8 hours. We can wait for official confirmation from Mark. - Saam > > Thanks, > Geoff > >> On Jun 18, 2020, at 9:30 PM, Saam Barati <sbar...@apple.com >> <mailto:sbar...@apple.com>> wrote: >> >> Why are we insisting on doing something on the bots that takes ~10x longer >> to run than necessary?
