There is an acc test failure in the dynamic bitset library (affecting all 64 bit platforms, AFAICT), which only doesn't show up because it's marked as 'has been failing in the last release'.
To make matters worse, this failure wasn't even present in the last release, so the markup is plain wrong. (It's probably from the version before, or something like that.)
I think this highlights a problem in the way we're doing the markup for the known failures. If one test fails and is marked up accordingly for the release, there is no procedure that once this failure is fixed, the markup is removed.
I've been concerned about that for a long time.
I've got similar concerns. My thought is to get 1.35.0 out of the way, then review testing issues before starting on the next release. That would probably be a good time to retire process_jam_log, for example, and switch to bitten as our main test harness if it is ready. --Beman
