Subject: [PATCH 00/13] test suite parallel safety
Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 20:36:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1377290210-483-1-git-send-email-tromey@redhat.com> (raw)

This is the final series to make the test suite parallel-safe.  As a
reminder, here parallel safety just means that a given test will not
write (or delete) files outside of the subdirectory assigned by the
gdb test harness.

Even after this series there are stragglers:

First, I only seriously tried this on a single architecture.  So,
there are bound to be issues for other arches.  These are generally
easy to fix; and, if you have inotifytools easy to diagnose as well.
I'll work on this as time permits.  I think this is less serious than
it may sound, as there aren't really that many arch-specific tests
that are likely to have clashes.


Second, Fortran:

    Running ../../../archer/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/library-module.exp ...
    ./ CREATE lib.mod0
    ./ DELETE lib.mod0
    ./ CREATE libmany.mod0
    ./ DELETE libmany.mod0
    Running ../../../archer/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/module.exp ...
    ./ CREATE mod1.mod0
    ./ DELETE mod1.mod0
    ./ CREATE mod2.mod0
    ./ DELETE mod2.mod0
    ./ CREATE modmany.mod0
    ./ DELETE modmany.mod0
    ./ CREATE moduse.mod0
    ./ DELETE moduse.mod0

This happens because the compiler generates these files.  I don't know
of a good, portable (across Fortran compilers) way to fix this.

This is only an issue in practice if we have multiple Fortran modules
with the same name.


And, finally:

    Running ../../../archer/gdb/testsuite/gdb.trace/save-trace.exp ...
    ./ CREATE savetrace.tr
    ./ DELETE savetrace.tr

This is a test for a directory-less save.  It seemed wrong to change
it.


I regression tested this series on x86-64 Fedora 18, both with
GDB_PARALLEL set and without.


After this series, I think we're ready to enable the new parallel
code.

Tom
