Description Martin Cermak 2021-11-10 08:45:36 UTC
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1952505

Description of problem:

The version of DejaGnu in Fedora is old and has a bug that causes problems for GCC testing.

See details in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-dejagnu/2018-07/msg00000.html
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=100203


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dejagnu-1.6.1-7.fc32
dejagnu-1.6.1-8.fc33
dejagnu-1.6.1-9.fc34

How reproducible:

Always.


Actual results:

Tests that deadlock and timeout do not get killed.


Expected results:

Tests are killed if they time out.

Additional info:

The patch at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-dejagnu/2018-07/msg00002.html is in the 1.6.2 release from November 2018, but has never made it into Fedora.

Other distros either ship 1.6.2 or include that patch.
