To chime in, latest validate for me on x86-32 had two fails: OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Sun May 15 16:16:28 BST 2011 2773 total tests, which gave rise to 10058 test cases, of which 0 caused framework failures 7598 were skipped 2377 expected passes 81 expected failures 0 unexpected passes 2 unexpected failures Unexpected failures: T3064(normal) (the improved GHC) T5084(normal) (the now typechecking expr) Edward Excerpts from Daniel Fischer's message of Thu May 12 10:59:01 -0400 2011:

Running the testsuite with today's HEAD (perf build, but without profiling to keep time bearable) resulted in:

==================== OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Do 12. Mai 13:34:13 CEST 2011 2765 total tests, which gave rise to 9300 test cases, of which 0 caused framework failures 1587 were skipped

7467 expected passes 229 expected failures 9 unexpected passes 8 unexpected failures ====================

Pretty cool, I can't remember having so few unexpected failures before.

==================== Unexpected failures: T5084(normal)

That's the compiler not complaining about an INLINE-pragma on a class method without default implementation. Patch is in ghc-generics branch, not yet in master, according to #5084. Anyway it's nothing serious (was a feature request, not a bug).

dph-diophantine-opt(normal,threaded1,threaded2)

These are due to a missing Show instance for [:Int:], a library issue.

dph-words-opt(normal)

Fails with "dph-words-opt: libraries/vector/Data/Vector/Generic.hs:369 (slice): invalid slice (1,2,2)". No idea whether that's a library or a compiler issue.

hpc_markup_multi_001(normal) hpc_markup_multi_002(normal) hpc_markup_multi_003(normal)

Those are due to hpc looking in the wrong directory for the tix files, patch exists, but is not yet in the master branch, according to #5069.

So, of the eight unexpected failures, six are due to trivia (they *might* fail for other causes when the trivia are fixed, but there's no reason to expect that), one is a feature request whose test reached testsuite/master before the implementation reached ghc/master and only one may (but need not) indicate a compiler bug at present, that's rather awesome.

====================

Unexpected passes: mc01(hpc,ghci) mc06(hpc,ghci) mc08(hpc,ghci) mc11(hpc) mc16(hpc) mc18(hpc)

All these involve the new MonadComprehensions extension, they're expected to work and do so for the normal and optasm ways, maybe they should also be expected to work for hpc and ghci.

Additionally, sometimes conc016(threaded2) passes unexpectedly; which thread first gets its exception to the other one is impossible to predict:

-- NB. this test is delicate since 6.14, because throwTo is now always -- interruptible, so the main thread's killThread can be legitimately -- interrupted by the child thread's killThread, rather than the other -- way around. This happens because the child thread is running on -- another processor, so the main thread's throwTo is blocked waiting -- for a response, and while waiting it is interruptible.

Summing up: Yay!
