I was thinking about adding a step to our CI to run stress-ng, as it seems
quite good at finding some kinds of regressions.
I wonder if you could suggest a suitable set of options to invoke it with?
Attached is an enhanced version of my local script used to test stress-ng before
packaging. I agree that it should provide some more comments :-)
Try
./cygstress -n CI
to see a selection of tests for CI. Remove -n to run these (~ 5min). It would
also be possible to run the tests with a single stress-ng command.
The tests which detected Cygwin bugs that are already fixed are included, see
comments "fixed in Cygwin ...".
Use WORK (or FAIL) instead of CI to run all working (or failing) tests. See
comments "TODO Cygwin: ..." for brief info about the failures. See three links
for testcases posted to ML.
Tests are intentionally run separately because failing tests sometimes hang and
may even ignore SIGKILL. Therefore an external tool is used, pskill from
Sysinternals Suite is the default.
Have you tried the Cygwin binary kill /usr/bin/kill -f PID..., which goes via
Win32, or even with -W WINPID, which I have found adequate for all purposes so
far, rather than the normal default shell kill commands, which are lacking.
