[Boost-users] 64-bit Boost Regression testing.

28 Oct 2005

      Hi,

I have built 64-bit Boost libraries on SUSE Linux ES 9
(SLES 9)for IBM POWER/PowerPC(PPC) using gcc 3.3.3 and
3.4.4. in both 32-bit and 64-bit.
Now, I also want to run Boost 1.33.0 regresion test
with gcc 3.4.4 in 64-bit to see if there are any
problems with 64-bit compilation.
Regression test helper programs and tests themselves
are being built in 64-bit OK. However, the run tests
give the error message:
*****************************************************
unknown location(0): fatal error in "some_test_name":
signal: memory access violation

*** errors detected in test suite "Some Test Suite
Name"; see standard output for details

EXIT STATUS: 200
*****************************************************
I enabled detailed output and here is an example of
what I see during the regression test (Just one
orbitrary chosen test - the rest show pretty much the
same picture).:

Indeed, trying to execute the 64-bit executable in gdb
gives something like:
Error accessing memory address 0x53e00001b5a6:
Input/output error.

(gdb) where
#0  0x000053e00000d932 in ?? ()
#1  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
Previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt
stack?)

I modified slightly the run-tests.sh script and
gcc-tools.jam to regression test in 64-bit.

RUN_TESTS.SH:
diff run_tests.sh.orig run_tests.sh
18c18
< boost_root="$HOME/CVSROOTs/Boost/boost_regression"

GCC_TOOLS.JAM - added two lines:
...
flags gcc CFLAGS
<architecture>power/<address-model>64 : -m64 ;
flags gcc LINKFLAGS
<architecture>power/<address-model>64 : -m64 ;
What am I missing here? What am I doing wrong? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
