[PATCH] tests: handle "funny" exit code 127 produced by MSVC-compiled exes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx>

The exit code 127 is well-documented to mean: command not found.

Unfortunately, it is also used as fall-back in Cygwin's
`pinfo::status_exit()` method (which maps things like Windows'
`STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION` to `128 | SIGSEGV`).

This is particularly unfortunate because there is no explicit mapping
for `STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW`. Meaning: when MSVC-compiled executables
produce a stack overflow the exit code in the Cygwin Bash will be 127.
Consequently, the same will be true for the MSYS2 Bash that is used by
Git for Windows.

Now, `jk/tree-name-and-depth-limit` introduces a pair of test cases that
expect a command that produces a stack overflow to fail, which it
typically does with exit code 139 (which means SIGSEGV).

But since MSVC-compiled `git.exe` exits with `STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW`
which the MSYS2 runtime maps to 127, and since 127 is taken to mean
"command not found" by `test_must_fail`, even though everything works as
planned the two new test cases fail when run in `win+VS test`.

Let's work around this by:

1) recording which C compiler was used, and

2) adding an MSVC-only exception to `test_must_fail` to treat 127 as a
   regular failure.

There is a slight downside of this approach in that a real missing
command could be mistaken for a failure. However, this would be caught
on other platforms, and besides, we use `test_must_fail` only for `git`
and `scalar` anymore, and we can be pretty certain that both are there.

    Fix t6700.[45] in win+VS test
    
    These two test cases have been failing for a while in Git for Windows'
    shears/* branches. Took a good while to figure out, too.
