Bug #98463 for Glib-Object-Introspection: Test failures on PPC - EPEL for Redhat 7

Thanks for the report. All the failures seem to have in common that they involve "int" arguments or return values which will probably be mapped to 64 bit big-endian integers on ppc64. We had a related bug in this area that was fixed a while ago, but it uses mechanisms only available with gobject-introspection >= 1.32.0. What version is the builder running? (Check with 'pkg-config --modversion gobject-introspection-1.0'.) Let's focus on the arrays.t failure first then. To rule out problems in the input conversion, please run the test under a debugger with a breakpoint set for regress_test_array_int_in. Then check whether the input values are correct and that the return value is computed normally. On my system, this looks like this: # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=build gdb --args perl t/arrays.t [...] (gdb) b regress_test_array_int_in Function "regress_test_array_int_in" not defined. Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y Breakpoint 1 (regress_test_array_int_in) pending. (gdb) r Starting program: /opt/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.20.0/bin/perl t/arrays.t [...] Breakpoint 1, regress_test_array_int_in (n_ints=3, ints=0x7a7800) at /usr/share/gobject-introspection-1.0/tests/regress.c:599 599 int i, sum = 0; (gdb) p n_ints $1 = 3 (gdb) p ints[0] $2 = 1 (gdb) p ints[1] $3 = 2 (gdb) p ints[2] $4 = 3 (gdb) n 600 for (i = 0; i < n_ints; i++) (gdb) n 601 sum += ints[i]; (gdb) n 600 for (i = 0; i < n_ints; i++) (gdb) n 601 sum += ints[i]; (gdb) n 600 for (i = 0; i < n_ints; i++) (gdb) n 601 sum += ints[i]; (gdb) n 600 for (i = 0; i < n_ints; i++) (gdb) n 602 return sum; (gdb) p sum $5 = 6 (gdb)
