Hi, We suspect that the non-ordered nature of stdout vs stderr is causing random problems in our GCC validations.
I wanted to experiment with forcing separation between stdout and stderr, then concatenating them, but so far I haven't been able to twist dejagnu to do so. I wanted to make use of a function like "invoke" as defined in http://wiki.tcl.tk/1241. I tried to call "invoke" instead of "spawn" but it seems that $spawn_id is not set by "open", but this variable is needed by dejagnu (local_exec in remote.exp). Then, I thought I could force output redirection, hence using an existing code-path in dejagnu (still in local_exec in remote.exp). To this end, at the beginning of local_exec, if $outp is empty, I force it to, say /tmp/foo.pid and set a flag to remember this later. In the code handling the redirection, I replaced set outp "> $outp" with set outp "> $outpf 2> ${outpf}.err" Now before resuming the normal code-path, I need to execute "cat $outpf ${outpf}.err" (if the flag I mentioned above is set): set result [catch {open "| cat $outpf ${outpf}.err" "w"} id] But I keep having errors in the expect statement a few lines later: ERROR: bad spawn_id (process died earlier?) while executing "expect { -i $spawn_id -timeout $timeout -re ".+" { append output $expect_out(buffer) if { [string length $output] < 512000 } { exp_contin..." (procedure "local_exec" line 117) I hoped that the statement: set result [catch "spawn -ignore SIGHUP -leaveopen $id" result2] would setup $spawn_id and help building $output I'm surely missing something obvious, but I'm not very fluent in tcl :( I'd like to make this "work" and experiment with it to check if it would make our validations more reliable. Thanks, Christophe. _______________________________________________ DejaGnu mailing list DejaGnu@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dejagnu
