[dacapobench-researchers] strange behavior of -n command line option

[Christian W. <wi...@ss...>]

Hi

When the command line option "-n" is specified to run benchmarks a fixed
number of times, then this option affects only the first benchmark. When I
start the benchmarks for example using

  java -jar dacapo.jar -n 5 antlr bloat

then "antlr" is executed 5 times, but "bloat" (and all successive
benchmarks) only 1 time.

The number of iterations is stored in the field TestHarness.iterations, and
the field value is decremented to 1 for the first benchmark, so it is
already 1 for all subsequent ones. 

In my opinion, this is a strange behavior, so I consider it rather as a bug
than a feature.
Is it possible to change this in an update release?

Regards
Christian
