Hi, https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dejagnu/2015-07/msg00000.html
this patch introduced a new failure related to GDB testing, but this time in GCC guality part of the testsuite. When gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/guality/example.c is executed we have this set of processes started PID PPID command 100 99 ./example.exe 101 99 cat 102 100 sh -c gdb -nx -nw --quiet > /dev/null 2>&1 ./example.exe 103 102 gdb -nx -nw --quiet ./example.exe The issue is that when close_wait_program is called pid="100 101" and when the "wait" returns none of these 4 processes is actually killed, and the killing of the "kill pipeline" made these pids untouched and the validation hangs forever. I not sure what's the best way to fix this issue without re-introducing the pid race in GDB. I'm testing a solution which first gather all the childs processes of the close_wait_program pid input (with a recursive call of pgrep -P) and then kill them all with a -15, my assumption is that killing explicitly all the processes (maybe in the child -> parent order) will avoid the need of stdin closing and the pid re-use race, but I might be wrong, and all comments are welcome. It works so far on a subset of the testsuite, but I'm still validating this approach. Now, maybe just the reducing the sleeping time might workaround the issue....
