Description

For example, [rule: 08_1; drivers: lgs8gxx.ko, specialix.ko, stv0299.ko, tc1100-wmi.ko, usbnet.ko; environment model: ldv_main0_plain_sorted_withcheck]

Descriptor is "empty":

Verifier: BLAST ()
Time Limit: 5000 sec
Memory Limit: 3000000 Kb
Additional options: -enable-recursion -fdepth 5
Solver: default
=========== Launch inform ends ===========

Another example, [rule: 32_1; drivers: a800.ko, at76c50x-usb.ko, and 105 more; environment model: ldv_main0_plain_sorted_withcheck]

I think that it's rather important issue, since we lose statistics about problems gathered by BLAST and must have to see files by hand to understand where is the problem.

Detection of "OCaml exception: Fatal error: out of memory." has been fixed.

Now, I have another example of uninformative Errormsg.Error descriptor coming from the following BLAST trace:

...32_7/drivers/isdn/hisax/config.c:1988: Warning: .../32_7/drivers/isdn/hisax/config.c:1988: CIL only supports attribute((alias)) for functions.

Bug: Visitor's instruction queue is not empty.
  You should only use queueInstr inside a function body!
Exception in Simplemem.simplemem: Errormsg.Error

The trace is generated by the following command:

In processing of all 2.6.31.6 drivers against 32_1 model I found following error descriptors lacks (* may be require some reference to the problem description):

Exception descriptions sometimes are incomplete ('XXX should be implemented', 'Not found', 'See above' and so on) but sometimes have a corresponding problem. Parsing errors don't point out a particular place and construction that leads to it ('Errormsg.Error').

Also it would be very helpful if blast instead of suicide with message:

BLAST couldn't find entry point/error location at .../bin/../dscv/rcv/blast line 343.

prepares useful descriptor that can be matched later.

  • Status changed from New to Open

Fixed most of the problem in commit=b6a9a03
Now error description contains last 100 lines of the error log (printing of statistics is redirected to stdout).

The problem of useful descriptor for

BLAST couldn't find entry point/error location at .../bin/../dscv/rcv/blast line 343.

still remains. But here is the problem with general logging and discovering intergation errors and not with blast error description, because the statistics server shows nothing in this case.

No, that's the separate issue. I've described it in bug #996.

Closing. Counting down to bug "BLAST error description contains too much details" though.

P.S. OMG, "Closed" has been renamed to "Verified". %)
