From gjforte at gmail.com Tue Apr 3 00:40:24 2018 From: gjforte at gmail.com (Greg Forte) Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2018 20:40:24 -0400 Subject: [ccache] ccache test failures In-Reply-To: References: <44585255f231408085cf239faebe320f@msx.bala.susq.com> <65c2233931ea4e2cace63315e471079f@msx.bala.susq.com> Message-ID: I figured out what the problem was with both of those tests - the directory I was building in had a symlink high up in the path - a 'cd $(readlink -f .)' before the build fixed it, and make/make test/make install now succeeds on our SLES12 systems. Now I have two different test cases failing only on even-older SLES11 systems: one is in the cpp1 suite, and manifests as: Manifest has bad magic number: 1013343290 Corrupt manifest file Error reading manifest file Did not find object file hash in manifest in the ccache.log. The "bad magic number" value is always the same. This only occurs when building via a rather convoluted script that we use to crank out builds of (mostly) 3rd party packages - the failure occurs consistently in that script, but I have so far not managed to reproduce it outside. So I'm pretty certain it's got something to do with the environment rendered by the script ... no idea what, exactly, though. Any thoughts? The same script is driving the successful builds on SLES12, for whatever that's worth. The other one appears to be due to a too-old or buggy (or both) version of objdump on the oldest platform we still support - when the test suite (debug_prefix_map) runs 'objdump -g' on the file, objdump just prints the "file format" line and nothing about the debug symbols .. but objdump from a slightly less ancient os image prints the expected output. So I think I can safely ignore that one ... though that also means the same suite could be falsely passing when it checks for `pwd`. I'd submit a patch, but not sure what the best alternative would be ... fall back to readelf? -Greg Forte On Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 7:41 AM, Forte, Greg via ccache < ccache at lists.samba.org> wrote: > Thanks, Joel!
