Created attachment 584766 [details] Patch to Fedora Git including upstream patch for the issue Description of problem: Check does not properly halt execution when running in CK_FORK=no mode and a test fails. In CK_FORK=yes (the default) mode, check calls exit(1) if a test fails. This is safe, because the test is run in a forked process. In non-forking mode, more changes are required. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): check-0.9.8-4.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a set of unit tests with check including one that should fail. 2. Have it print something after the failure. Actual results: The printed message is seen. Expected results: The test case should not progress past the failed assertion. Additional info: I am attaching a patch from upstream that fixes this issue. Please review it and update the Fedora package.
The patch looks reasonable. I've tried it with a number of tests, and it has behaved as I expected so far. I will build this for Rawhide, F-16, and F-17 now, and we can continue to try it out while it sits in the testing repos. I probably won't update F-15 at this point unless someone begs me.
