#15363: Do some cleaning up of the testsuite driver -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: lantti | Owner: lantti Type: task | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Test Suite | Version: 8.4.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by lantti): As I mentioned earlier, Windows seems tricky. I had already come to the conclusion that python subprocess module is not going to be able to cleanly cut this, but, like you said, the next option would be a rewrite accessing winapi over ctypes and I don't see that as prohibitive in any way. I think I have reasonably good understanding of what timeout.hs is doing, but like I mentioned earlier, it doesn't seem to be fully functional in the current msys environment. I will slowly keep on investigating this when I find free moments. After I come with a patch we can discuss how to best test it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15363#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
