Hi,

I recently set up a Jenkins server which is running DMD builds and tests at: http://emoba.net:8888/jenkins/view/D/ It's running on an x86-64 installation of Gentoo.

It seems that there is a test failing on both x86 and x86-64 builds of DMD; see: http://emoba.net:8888/jenkins/view/D/job/DMD-x64/1/console

Does anyone know why this might be happening? Is it a bug?

FYI, the shell commands used to compile:

> cd src;
> make -f posix.mak clean;
> make -f posix.mak MODEL=64;
> cd ../test;
> make clean;
> make;

Regards,
Alex

This tests are failing as evidence by:

So the devs will need to work out the solution.

It's a known issue. The deprecated std.random.rand was removed, and when fixing the dmd tests accordingly, it was revealed that a test which used rand was actually defective and that the optimizer bug that it was supposed to test for wasn't actually fixed:

So, the optimizer bug needs to be properly fixed and the test adjusted accordingly. Until then, the test is failing.

OK, thanks for the clarification!
