sorry, what change do you plan to make? Did you work out what the bug is? My<br>
basic worry is that it sounds like you are trying to hide the underlying issue<br>
rather than fixing it, please correct me if I'm wrong.</blockquote><div><br></div><div style="">Hi Duncan,</div><div style=""><br></div><div style="">There are two issues:</div><div style=""><br></div><div style="">1. The LTO bug we found by running Livermore Loops on test-suite. I'm still trying to isolate this and will report as soon as I get a smaller test case. (I sent a tarball earlier to the list on how to reproduce it). Bugs like these will not be caught any more with the standard LNT tests, true, but there's also point 2 below...ping </div>
<div style=""><br></div><div style="">2. Buildbots with multiple test builders, confusing and generating too much noise. LNT is not testing LTO at the moment, but David said there someone working on it right now. So, the way to go would be to have LNT on all buildbots (in the long run) testing with and without LTO (and possibly other variations), so we can have. a coherent story and an easy way to reproduce errors locally.</div>
