#9307: wave4main in nofib fails -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jrp | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: NoFib benchmark | Version: 7.8.3 suite | Operating System: MacOS X Keywords: wave4main | Type of failure: Incorrect result Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | at runtime Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: wave4main Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Compiling HEAD with perf-llvm, (3.4.2) and running the nofib suite fails at the wave4main case. It is not clear to me whether wave4main should always produce the same output (and so the test fails because it does not do so) or whether the numbers generated depend on some feature of the build settings, or OS. {{{ HC = /Users/xxx/Projects/ghc/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 HC_OPTS = -O2 -Rghc-timing -H32m -hisuf hi -cpp -fglasgow-exts -rtsopts RUNTEST_OPTS = -ghc-timing ==nofib== wave4main: size of wave4main follows... __TEXT __DATA __OBJC others dec hex 4091904 450560 0 4295947176 4300489640 1005443a8 ==nofib== wave4main: time to run wave4main follows... ../../../runstdtest/runstdtest ./wave4main -o1 wave4main.stdout -o1 wave4main.stdout2 -o1 wave4main.stdout3 -o1 wave4main.stdout -o1 wave4main.stdout2 -o1 wave4main.stdout3 -ghc-timing 4000; ../../../runstdtest/runstdtest ./wave4main -o1 wave4main.stdout -o1 wave4main.stdout2 -o1 wave4main.stdout3 -o1 wave4main.stdout -o1 wave4main.stdout2 -o1 wave4main.stdout3 -ghc-timing 4000; ../../../runstdtest/runstdtest ./wave4main -o1 wave4main.stdout -o1 wave4main.stdout2 -o1 wave4main.stdout3 -o1 wave4main.stdout -o1 wave4main.stdout2 -o1 wave4main.stdout3 -ghc-timing 4000; ../../../runstdtest/runstdtest ./wave4main -o1 wave4main.stdout -o1 wave4main.stdout2 -o1 wave4main.stdout3 -o1 wave4main.stdout -o1 wave4main.stdout2 -o1 wave4main.stdout3 -ghc-timing 4000; ../../../runstdtest/runstdtest ./wave4main -o1 wave4main.stdout -o1 wave4main.stdout2 -o1 wave4main.stdout3 -o1 wave4main.stdout -o1 wave4main.stdout2 -o1 wave4main.stdout3 -ghc-timing 4000; real 0m0.217s user 0m0.191s sys 0m0.011s ././wave4main 4000 < /dev/null expected stdout not matched by reality --- wave4main.stdout 2014-07-08 20:57:14.000000000 +0100 +++ /var/folders/d9/94xh7l810mz3_skcsfh68khh0000gn/T//runtest16932.1 2014-07-13 13:43:22.000000000 +0100 @@ -1 +1 @@ -69923/1465 +69096/1465 real 0m0.197s user 0m0.186s sys 0m0.008s ././wave4main 4000 < /dev/null expected stdout not matched by reality --- wave4main.stdout 2014-07-08 20:57:14.000000000 +0100 +++ /var/folders/d9/94xh7l810mz3_skcsfh68khh0000gn/T//runtest16961.1 2014-07-13 13:43:22.000000000 +0100 @@ -1 +1 @@ -69923/1465 +69096/1465 real 0m0.201s user 0m0.189s sys 0m0.009s ././wave4main 4000 < /dev/null expected stdout not matched by reality --- wave4main.stdout 2014-07-08 20:57:14.000000000 +0100 +++ /var/folders/d9/94xh7l810mz3_skcsfh68khh0000gn/T//runtest17011.1 2014-07-13 13:43:22.000000000 +0100 @@ -1 +1 @@ -69923/1465 +69096/1465 real 0m0.201s user 0m0.190s sys 0m0.008s ././wave4main 4000 < /dev/null expected stdout not matched by reality --- wave4main.stdout 2014-07-08 20:57:14.000000000 +0100 +++ /var/folders/d9/94xh7l810mz3_skcsfh68khh0000gn/T//runtest17051.1 2014-07-13 13:43:23.000000000 +0100 @@ -1 +1 @@ -69923/1465 +69096/1465 real 0m0.200s user 0m0.189s sys 0m0.009s ././wave4main 4000 < /dev/null expected stdout not matched by reality --- wave4main.stdout 2014-07-08 20:57:14.000000000 +0100 +++ /var/folders/d9/94xh7l810mz3_skcsfh68khh0000gn/T//runtest17080.1 2014-07-13 13:43:23.000000000 +0100 @@ -1 +1 @@ -69923/1465 +69096/1465 make: *** [runtests] Error 1 }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9307> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This is needed whenever you try to make a program that's supposed to pass on all arguments, for example something like `ccache` or [https://github.com/fpco/pid1 pid1]. As you can imagine, swallowing +RTS argument's isn't great when you want to pass them on to a Haskell program. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12870> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
