Description Branislav Náter 2016-05-04 15:04:09 UTC
Description of problem:
This is a test checking that gdb can pretty-print various PyObject* types. The test itself is a modified version the test_gdb from the upstream test suite, which is available since Python 2.7

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
reproducible on 2.7.5-40 (works on 2.7.5-39)

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run /CoreOS/python/Sanity/gdb on s390x machine

Actual results:
<snip>

FAIL: test_basic_command (__main__.PyListTests)
Verify that the "py-list" command works

Comment 2 Branislav Náter 2016-09-08 14:10:37 UTC
Another test (also related to gdb) is failing on s390x.
"frame information optimized out" is displayed instead of frame content.
