Hi list, I've received a report that the notmuch test suite fails when compiled without debugging symbols on openSUSE. I am able to reproduce the issue on the master branch (commit 74a1b5ac65b31f7ebc1258b259b8c355023e21b4): # note the missing -g: $ export 'CFLAGS=-O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector-strong -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -Werror=return-type -flto=12' $ export 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector-strong -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -Werror=return-type -flto=12' $ ./configure $ make download-test-databases $ make check results in this error: T060-count: Testing "notmuch count" for messages and threads FAIL error message from query_search_messages --- T060-count.14.EXPECTED 2019-09-30 12:15:29.518585353 +0000 +++ T060-count.14.OUTPUT.clean 2019-09-30 12:15:29.518585353 +0000 @@ -1,3 +0,0 @@ -notmuch count: A Xapian exception occurred -A Xapian exception occurred performing query -Query string was: * Checking out 0.29.1 gives this additional failure: T070-insert: Testing "notmuch insert" FAIL success exit with --keep when index_file returns FILE_NOT_EMAIL exit code 1, expected 0 gdb --batch-silent --return-child-result -ex 'set args insert --keep < /home/dan/packages/git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/test/tmp.T070-insert/mail/msg-023' -x index-file-FILE_NOT_EMAIL.gdb notmuch FAIL success exit with --keep when index_file returns READ_ONLY_DATABASE exit code 1, expected 0 gdb --batch-silent --return-child-result -ex 'set args insert --keep < /home/dan/packages/git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/test/tmp.T070-insert/mail/msg-023' -x index-file-READ_ONLY_DATABASE.gdb notmuch FAIL success exit with --keep when index_file returns UPGRADE_REQUIRED exit code 1, expected 0 gdb --batch-silent --return-child-result -ex 'set args insert --keep < /home/dan/packages/git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/test/tmp.T070-insert/mail/msg-023' -x index-file-UPGRADE_REQUIRED.gdb notmuch FAIL success exit with --keep when index_file returns PATH_ERROR exit code 1, expected 0 gdb --batch-silent --return-child-result -ex 'set args insert --keep < /home/dan/packages/git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/test/tmp.T070-insert/mail/msg-023' -x index-file-PATH_ERROR.gdb notmuch FAIL EX_TEMPFAIL when index_file returns OUT_OF_MEMORY exit code 1, expected 75 gdb --batch-silent --return-child-result -ex 'set args insert < /home/dan/packages/git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/test/tmp.T070-insert/mail/msg-023' -x index-file-OUT_OF_MEMORY.gdb notmuch FAIL success exit with --keep when index_file returns OUT_OF_MEMORY exit code 1, expected 0 gdb --batch-silent --return-child-result -ex 'set args insert --keep < /home/dan/packages/git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/test/tmp.T070-insert/mail/msg-023' -x index-file-OUT_OF_MEMORY.gdb notmuch FAIL EX_TEMPFAIL when index_file returns XAPIAN_EXCEPTION exit code 1, expected 75 gdb --batch-silent --return-child-result -ex 'set args insert < /home/dan/packages/git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/test/tmp.T070-insert/mail/msg-023' -x index-file-XAPIAN_EXCEPTION.gdb notmuch FAIL success exit with --keep when index_file returns XAPIAN_EXCEPTION exit code 1, expected 0 gdb --batch-silent --return-child-result -ex 'set args insert --keep < /home/dan/packages/git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/test/tmp.T070-insert/mail/msg-023' -x index-file-XAPIAN_EXCEPTION.gdb notmuch Are these failures expected?
