Again, it depends on the optimization level, but IMHO it's not worth it to implement an heuristic to check if gdb has enough info to run tests. > The fact that these GDB tests are not run in any CI build is bad. gdb is not installed on Travis CI, but test_gdb is run on almost all buildbots. > We should try to catch test breakage as early as possible, the buildbot > should be the last resort. Maybe open an issue to attempt to install gdb on Travis CI? test_gdb breakage are quiet rare. If you modify code which can impact test_gdb, you can run test_gdb locally. Because breakages are rare, I never invested time on this issue: there are more blocking issues in my agenda ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37382> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
