On my multi-target branch I was occasionaly seeing a FAIL like this:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/fork-running-state.exp: detach-on-fork=off: follow-fork=parent: non-stop: kill parent
[Inferior 2 (process 32672) exited normally]
kill inferior 2
warning: Inferior ID 2 is not running.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/fork-running-state.exp: detach-on-fork=off: follow-fork=parent: non-stop: kill child (the program exited)
... other similar fails ...
Turns out to be a testcase bug/race. A tweak like this increases the
changes of hitting the race substancially:
--- a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/fork-running-state.c
+++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/fork-running-state.c
@@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ fork_child (void)
{
while (1)
{
- sleep (1);
+ usleep (100);
The testcase has two processes, parent and child fork. The problem is
that the child exits itself if it notices the parent is gone, but the
testcase .exp does not expect that.
I first wrote a patch that handled the different combinations of
non-stop/detach-on-fork/follow-fork/schedule-multiple, making the .exp
file know when to expect the child to exit itself vs when to kill it
explicitly, but the result was that the code to kill the parent and
child was getting about as large as the test code that is the actual
point of the testcase, above the kills.
So I scratched that approach and came up with a simpler patch --
simply make the child not exit itself when the parent exits.
The .exp file is going to kill both parent and child explicitly, and,
main() already calls alarm() as a safeguard. I don't think we lose
anything.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2018-04-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/fork-running-state.c (fork_child): Don't exit if parent
exits. Instead loop running forever.
(fork_parent): Run forever too.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
