OTOH gcc and/or gdb do use dejagnu parallelized
<fche>
they are wily
<fche>
highly wily
<jistone>
and not shyly
<jistone>
most of stap doesn't need interactive testing that expect is good at, just run and match output
<jistone>
(but here comes --interactive and --monitor)
<fche>
yeah baby
<fche>
</powers>
<jistone>
I think you could pull that look off
<fche>
oh behave
<jistone>
my installcheck is still on systemtap.base...
<fche>
it's a broad, firm, reliable base
<jistone>
maybe there's something wrong with my VM config
<fche>
that could probably be smaller
<fche>
(need >2G RAM at times IIRC)
<jistone>
I have exactly 2GB allocated.
<jistone>
only slight swap is used at the moment
<jistone>
if there'd been a problem, I'd expect more of the idle system to swap out
* fche
has seen phenomena where a kvm vm that started swapping was able to saturate the host machine's i/o subsystem, bringing the machine as a whole to a crawl
<jistone>
host is fine. it's all ssd though, with even a distinct drive for vm space
<jistone>
if only there were a tool to help diagnose such issues...
<fche>
indeed so
<fche>
(though one needs to be running already before the problem becomes acute)
<jistone>
a problem for another day. I'll just leave this running - my dinner calls
