Hello,
Was taking a peek at this ticket:
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1625
I thought I'd test out current expect/tcl to see if I couldn't tickle
the bug. On a finished system, I mimicked the chapter 5 tcl/expect
installation to a temporary location, something like /test/bin. Then I
tried the test case from this link:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43310
I couldn't get the bug to show. Expect worked as it was supposed to.
So, I thought I'd try a bit more of an extended test. The LFS book says
about the expect patch, "First, fix a bug that can result in false
failures during the GCC test suite run". I figured that I'd run two
different builds up to the final installation of gcc, one with and one
without the expect patch, then I'd compare the test-suite logs and see
if there was any difference. I've attached diffs of the test-suite logs
from glibc, binutils and gcc (it doesn't seem that glibc makes use of
expect, but I included it anyway) and there doesn't seem to be anything
noteworthy in them. In fact, the only difference seems to be
run-specific variables, like timestamps.
Interestingly, however, I tried HJL's testcase again on each of the
produced expects, and this time, the unpatched expect within the chroot
environment *did* show the bug he mentioned, while the patched expect
did not.
So, I'm not sure where this leaves us. The bug does still seem to exist
in expect, but, at least currently, the test-suites that make use of
expect seem unaffected by the inclusion or absence of the patch.
