5 "make test" fails on irix - ID: 2352003

Last Update: Settings changed ( kennykb )

Details:

Configured with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sde/TclTk-2008-11-26
--disable-nls --enable-load --enable-shared

Compiled with gcc-4.3.2

When running "make test", there are failures. See attached file. When
using the same configuration to build on a Solaris 10 box, all the tests
pass.

Date: 2009-10-29 02:29 Sender: kennykb The clock-40.1 problem is peculiar; it appears to be that the gmtime() system call is failing on a valid time. The remaining problems all relate to the fact that there are a couple of places in tclStrToD.c that need to set floating point controls. The rounding mode for doubles, in those routines, must be "53 bit, round to nearest", and gradual underflow (denormalized numbers) must be enabled throughout Tcl. Neither appears to be the case, given the set of tests that are failing. I haven't the faintest idea how to go about setting the floating point controls correctly on IRIX, nor do I have an SGI machine on which to test. Referring to the one Tcl maintainer who might have such a beast.

The clock-40.1 problem is peculiar; it appears to be that the gmtime()
system call is failing on a valid time.

rounding mode for doubles, in those routines, must be "53 bit, round to
nearest", and gradual underflow (denormalized numbers) must be enabled
