Description

It appears that 64 bit MinGW trunk build results in test-all are stable . The only inconsistent item is the number of reported assertions. See Ruby MinGW 'test-all' Results for details. The build system I use is available at MSP-Greg / ruby-loco.

Build & test-all Info / Issues:

Two patches are applied for building - configure.in and include/ruby/defines.h.

Four items related to test-all, which are also detailed on the web page.

  1. test-all SEGV - TestEnumerable#test_callcc - This causes a 'logged' segv, which is attached and listed here. Note that the only difference between this assert and the next one is the array length, [o, o].sort_by {|x| x } vs [o, o, o].sort_by {|x| x }. Checking blame, it was added for code coverage. See patch. I believe a 32 bit build requires a more extensive patch.

  2. test-all 'silent' stop - TestSocket#test_closed_read, see patch.

  3. Failures / Errors - 8 failures and 1 error are consistently generated. Listed on web page.

  4. Readline & temp files - there may be issues with using GNU Readline on Windows, but it passes all tests except TestReadline#test_input_metachar. A patch is used for temp files, otherwise failures occur on Windows.

I realize that MinGW is considered a Tier 2 platform, and that these issues may have existed for quite some time.

Given that most mentions of Ruby and Windows also mention MinGW builds, I hope that, in time, these issues can be addressed. Hopefully, consideration can be given to moving MinGW to a Tier 1 platform, along with appveyor testing of it, instead of mswin64.

Thanks for everyone's help. If there is anything else I can do, please let me know.
