[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61911] testsuite segfaults on Debian armel

[Dmitri A. Sergatskov]

Follow-up Comment #22, bug #61911 (project octave):

If I split the failing make doc command:


/bin/bash run-octave -disable-asan --norc --silent --no-history --path
../doc/interpreter --eval "genpropdoc ('legend');" >
doc/interpreter/plot-legendproperties.texi-t 
/usr/local/src/octave/gcc_asan/libtool: line 4739: warning: setlocale:
LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
/usr/local/src/octave/gcc_asan/libtool: line 4739: warning: setlocale:

warning: using the gnuplot graphics toolkit is discouraged

The gnuplot graphics toolkit is not actively maintained and has a number
of limitations that are unlikely to be fixed.  Communication with gnuplot
uses a one-directional pipe and limited information is passed back to the
Octave interpreter so most changes made interactively in the plot window
will not be reflected in the graphics properties managed by Octave.  For
example, if the plot window is closed with a mouse click, Octave will not
be notified and will not update its internal list of open figure windows.
The qt toolkit is recommended instead.

mv doc/interpreter/plot-legendproperties.texi-t
doc/interpreter/plot-legendproperties.texi



then it seems to work. It looks to me a race problem:
attempt to renamed the file before it's been written on disk.

Dmitri.
