Re: [DynInst_API:] Testsuite-9.3.0 hangs with Intel compiler

[Bill Williams <bill@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

test3_6 does occasionally leave zombies around; it's testing forced termination of mutatees and it's somewhat brittle.

One workaround is to run the test suite under Jenkins or an equivalent framework that will reap every process in its process tree; that's what we do for our continuous integration (jenkins.dyninst.org). As an added bonus that will take advantage of the test suite's -junit output option, which I suppose I should publicize more...

Subject: [DynInst_API:] Testsuite-9.3.0 hangs with Intel compiler

Hello,
I recently built Dyninst-9.3.2 and testsuite-9.3.0 with Intel-17.0.0 compiler on KNL. The testsuite hung after the icpc test_execption  result printed and it didn’t complete the runTests:
$ ./runTests -icc –icpc
……
test_module                  icpc   none 64  disk      NA      dynamic nonPIC  PASSED
test_relocations           icpc   none 64  disk     NA      dynamic nonPIC  PASSED
test_type_info             icpc   none 64  disk     NA      dynamic nonPIC  PASSED
test_exception             icpc   none 64  disk     NA      dynamic nonPIC  PASSED

After aborting runTests, the following tests were still running when I did “ps ef”:
test3_6.dyn_icpc_64
test3_6.dyn_icc_64

Have you encountered this issue with Intel compilers?
Is there a workaround?

Thank you,
