LIN8-521 : valgrind ptest segmentation faults result in a PASS status

Created: Jun 30, 2015 Updated: Apr 19, 2018

Resolved Date: Apr 17, 2018

Found In Version: 8.0

Severity: Standard

Applicable for: Wind River Linux 8

Component/s: Workbench Integration

Description

Valgrind ptest correctly handles most failure cases by reporting FAIL, however if the test case aborts with segv then the status is incorrectly reported as PASS.

sh: line 1: 14861 Segmentation fault      VALGRIND_LIB=/usr/lib64/valgrind VALGRIND_LIB_INNER=/usr/lib64/valgrind /usr/bin/valgrind --command-line-only=yes --memcheck:leak-check=no --tool=memcheck -q --num-callers=500 ./deep-backtrace > deep-backtrace.stdout.out 2> deep-backtrace.stderr.out
