I have to qualify what I said earlier. While I have not (yet) seen these failures at *this commit*, we often see failures in t/porting/podcheck.t *on certain platforms*. For example, see: http://perl.develop-help.com/raw/?id=206259 ... which is a report from one of Tux's HP-UX smokers. However, such failures are infrequent in the Linux and *BSD machines that generate a lot of reports. So I'm inclined to think this is a resource-constraint problem. I know that when I test blead on my laptop, where I have $TEST_JOBS = 8, the perl test suite slows to a crawl -- this one test file absorbs all the system's energy -- and indeed the entire machine slows down. Once t/porting/podcheck.t completes, it's as if the system has just become unconstipated. My hunch is that to diagnose and remediate problems like these, we need someone with access to machines where the test often fails to patiently profile and debug. But there were *no* POD changes in the commit in question, so I don't think we can say we have a BBC situation here. Thank you very much. -- |

> Done in 446f12a Sorry, this does not help, v5.27.8-243-g446f12a860 fails similarly. The noisy output still contain "near line 12729 of dist/Storable/core" Test Summary Report porting/podcheck.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 1476 Failed: 2) -- |

The root cause for this is https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=132849. This patch series is like applying bandages to a cannon wound - for example, it'll fail again if you set /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to "core.%p". Or "core.%u.%p". Or whatever. Is it feasible to guess all such possible patterns on all possible systems? |
