From: Tom de Vries Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2023 19:35:35 +0000 (+0200) Subject: [gdb/testsuite] Set TSAN_OPTIONS by default to history_size=7 X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fa2b9e04060b25f0338110798c08415081eab365;p=binutils-gdb.git [gdb/testsuite] Set TSAN_OPTIONS by default to history_size=7 I build gdb with -fsanitize=thread and ran the testsuite, and ran into the case that a race is detected, but we see the full stack trace only for one of the two accesses, and the other one is showing "failed to restore the stack". Try to prevent this by setting ThreadSanitizer flag history_size [1] to the maximum (7) by default, as suggested here [2]. Tested on x86_64-linux.
