[bug #43122] texi2dvi does not compile enough times to get toc

[Vincent Belaïche]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #43122 (project texinfo):

After looking at what the generated_files_get function does, I am now
understanding that it scans metafont-for-beginners.log for finding output
files produced by etex. To do that, grep is using the '^\openout[0-9]' regexp.
But there are *NOT* any such match in the metafont-for-beginners.log file, and
actually file openings are not traced at all. 

So, the story seems to be that:

* either MikTeX etex does not do tracing properly, or
* latest texinfo.tex disables tracing at some point

Are you using the latest texinfo.tex to do the tests ?

FYI, latexmk uses the -recoder option in order to trace in a separate file
what files are open, that is probably safer to do this way, this way you are
robust to anything that the user is doing --- but maybe you rely on this that
the Texinfo user will do less tricky things than the LaTeX user, :-/ :-P
