Description Francesco Giancane 2022-02-14 12:09:52 UTC

Description of problem:

Hello, we are working with a project using cpputest as unit test library. We are using standard packages from EPEL for CentOS 8 (but same issue apply to Fedora, latest release).

We are running some basic unit tests for a (yet small) application, but those tests won't run. The test runner won't reach the end of execution, and is stuck undefinedly.

If you disable the Memory Leak detector component, however, everything runs fine.

Please have a look at my discussion in the GitHub repository for the project, where more data is reported: https://github.com/cpputest/cpputest/issues/1541

It seems that the problems only arises when using dynamically-linked builds of cpputest.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Name         : cpputest-devel
Version      : 4.0
Release      : 1.el8
Architecture : x86_64
Size         : 911 k
Source       : cpputest-4.0-1.el8.src.rpm
Repository   : @System
From repo    : epel


How reproducible:
Write some basic unit tests using cpputest and then build them. They should produce executable(s) failing at memory leak detector (even though no memory is allocated) and never terminate

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write some unit tests (in separate files, also copy-paste from official manual)
2. Run them
3. Observe that program never exits

Actual results:
Unit tests does not terminate. Frontends managing results (eclipse, automake, ...) cannot report test suite results.

Expected results:
Unit tests should terminate after execution.

Additional info:
Please find attached here further investigation: https://github.com/cpputest/cpputest/issues/1541

Also, in Fedora/CentOS/EPEL, CMake for cpputest is patched not to produce static builds: however, this issue is not present in static version of library. We are discussing with author whether it is doable to enable dynamically build objects for cpputest too or if there are architectural constraints forcing him to use static builds.

Comment 1 Francesco Giancane 2022-02-28 11:18:52 UTC

Hello,

Per our latest discussion in https://github.com/cpputest/cpputest/issues/1541, the original library author agreed upon the fact that his library is specifically designed to be statically linked , and this strage behavior is caused by the library being compiled as a dynamic object.

I think here the culprit is the patch https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cpputest/blob/epel8/f/cpputest-no-static-ext.patch that should be removed; this should fix the issue Fedora/EPEL side.
