Subject: erc-join-tests runs "forever" on Solaris 10
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2025 08:16:32 -0700
This is with current Savannah master. I haven't tested on Solaris for a 
while so I don't know when it started happening.

To reproduce the problem, build Emacs and run "make check". It loops 
seemingly forever. The culprit can be found via:

cd test
make check LOGFILES=lisp/erc/erc-join-tests.log

This ran for about 12 hours before I killed it. Emacs is CPU bound. 
"truss" reports a seemingly infinite sequence of syscalls containing the 
following pattern, repeated indefinitely:

...
lwp_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, 0x00000002, 0x00000000) = 0xFFBFFEFF [0x0000FFFF]
lwp_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) = 0xFFBFFEFF [0x0000FFFF]
pollsys(0xFFBFE278, 2, 0xFFBFE5D8, 0x00000000)  = 1
lwp_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, 0x00000002, 0x00000000) = 0xFFBFFEFF [0x0000FFFF]
lwp_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) = 0xFFBFFEFF [0x0000FFFF]
read(25, 0x040AB840, 65536)                     = 0
timer_settime(0, 1, 0xFFBFE4B8, 0x00000000)     = 0
alarm(0)                                        = 0
timer_settime(0, 1, 0xFFBFE438, 0x00000000)     = 0
lwp_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, 0x00000002, 0x00000000) = 0xFFBFFEFF [0x0000FFFF]
lwp_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) = 0xFFBFFEFF [0x0000FFFF]
pollsys(0xFFBFE278, 1, 0xFFBFE5D8, 0x00000000)  = 1
lwp_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, 0x00000002, 0x00000000) = 0xFFBFFEFF [0x0000FFFF]
lwp_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) = 0xFFBFFEFF [0x0000FFFF]
...

The file lisp/erc/erc-join-tests.log looks like this:

Thanks, I've added the maintainer of ERC in the hope that he could
have some ideas.

Thanks for the detailed info. The tests in that file have remained
unchanged since they were created four years ago. Unfortunately, they
were never updated to use the newer fixtures and helpers ERC now uses
for mocking connections more responsibly. FWIW, I couldn't yet manage to
reproduce the error (https://0x0.st/8dzt.png), though it's quite
possible I didn't build Emacs correctly. In any case, I'll at least try
to ensure those tests fail fast in the future instead of running
forever. For now, I've just arranged to skip the failing one.

J.P.
