Date: Fri, 06 Mar 2015 14:57:56 +0100

guile 2.0.11 make check failure for ppc architecture on opensuse 13.2

details of the log is available at:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory:PowerPC/guile
https://build.opensuse.org/build/openSUSE:Factory:PowerPC/standard/ppc/guile/_log

There are two failing tests:
===
[ 1223s] FAIL: fractions.test: fractions: (eqv? (expt 2 1/2) (sqrt 2))
[ 1223s] FAIL: fractions.test: fractions: (eqv? (expt 2.0 1/2) (sqrt 2))
===

I have a guest on which I am able to recreate the problem,
but I do not know anything about guile to do investigation of the problem.

any suggestions ?

Sorry for the 15 month delay!  Our bad.  On the other hand we're finally
about to cut a 2.0.12 so it would be nice to fix this.  Can you still
find this condition?  If so can you run Guile and type these expressions
at the console:

(expt 2 1/2)
(expt 2.0 1/2)
(sqrt 2)

and attach the log of what you type and what Guile says in response?

Thanks!

Andy

The bugzilla should probably be closed now,
because since then it seems that problem disapeared.
If I do the manual tests as suggested there is no differences in expressions outputs as reported below.

Cool, that was easy :-)

Happy hacking,

We're seeing the same thing on a Debian powerpc buildd
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=guile-2.0&arch=powerpc&ver=2.0.11%2B1-9%2Bdeb8u1&stamp=1485708200&raw=0

  FAIL: fractions.test: fractions: (eqv? (expt 2 1/2) (sqrt 2))
  FAIL: fractions.test: fractions: (eqv? (expt 2.0 1/2) (sqrt 2))

and so I wondered if anything new had been discovered since this was
closed.

Note that this 2.0.11 (2.0.11+1-9+deb8u1), which we're attempting to
build to fix two CVEs in jessie.  I can also attempt to manually
reproduce the failure on a Debian porterbox.

Thanks

OK, I can reproduce this on partch.debian.org now
(https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=partch):

  FAIL: fractions.test: fractions: (eqv? (expt 2 1/2) (sqrt 2))
  FAIL: fractions.test: fractions: (eqv? (expt 2.0 1/2) (sqrt 2))

and poking around I see:

...looks like a build directly from the 2.0.14 xz archive (not the
Debian tree) fails in the same way.

OK, I may have tracked it down to a glibc issue that's been addressed in
newer versions: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=841724#80

Assuming that's right, then this bug can probably be (re)closed.
