doctest devel/sage/sage/graphs/graph_list.py fails on Solaris 10 (SPARC)

[drkirkby]

Details of the computer

• Sun Blade 1000
• 2 x 900 MHz UltraSPARC III+ CPUs
• 2 GB RAM
• Solaris 10 03/2005 (first release of Solaris 10)
• gcc 4.4.3 (uses Sun linker and assembler)

Sage version 4.3.3 (with several patches)

I'm using a patched version of Sage 4.3.3, built as a 32-bit binary. The patches include:

• #7867 Python patch, to allow Sage library to build.
• #8191 Addition of iconv, which is needed for R
• #8285 Update R's spkg-install to work on Solaris
• #8363 Remove a useless check for mpir in cddlib
• #8375 Numerical noise in devel/sage/sage/symbolic/pynac.pyx
• #8374 Numerical noise in devel/sage/sage/symbolic/constants_c.pyx
• #8371 Patch to allow pyprocessing to build - it failed after python was patched as #7867. (Note #6503 aims to remove pyprocessing completely).

The problem

There are 8 test failures on this rather old SPARC. Increasing SAGE_TIMEOUT allowed 3 to pass. The longest is "devel/sage/sage/rings/polynomial/symmetric_ideal.py" which takes 459.4 s.

However, 5 failures remain outstanding.

    sage -t  "devel/sage/sage/graphs/graph_list.py" # Segfault
    sage -t  "devel/sage/sage/graphs/generic_graph.py" # Segfault
    sage -t  "devel/sage/sage/graphs/graph.py" # Segfault
    sage -t  "devel/sage/sage/graphs/graph_database.py" # Segfault
    sage -t  "devel/sage/sage/databases/database.py" # Segfault

Specific failure of this ticket

This ticket is documenting graph_list.py, or to be more precise

"devel/sage/sage/graphs/graph_list.py"

Related tickets

The other failures observed on this build of Solaris 10 are #8398, #8399, #8400 and #8401
