Bug 191285 – [Win] run-javascriptcore-tests does not run to completion in Release mode

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Ross Kirsling]

Remaining work after bug 189880:
WinCairo JSC stress tests are now able to run to completion in Debug mode, but we still end up with hanging subprocesses in Release mode.

Notes:
- Repro rate seems to be 100% when running the full suite, but which tests end up stuck seems random. In particular, these are not failing tests.
- We may well manage to *start* running every test, but then we just sit at the end forever since some number of subprocesses will never terminate.
- Running a subset of tests with --filter is generally stable, and it seems that even --quick usually terminates successfully.

As mentioned in the previous ticket, the stack trace for all hanging subprocesses is:
> [External Code]
> jscLib.dll!`anonymous namespace'::jscExit(int status)            at Source\JavaScriptCore\jsc.cpp(174)
> jscLib.dll!main(int argc, char * * argv)                         at Source\JavaScriptCore\jsc.cpp(2275)
> jscLib.dll!dllLauncherEntryPoint(int argc, const char * * argv)  at Source\JavaScriptCore\jsc.cpp(2855)
> jsc.exe!main(int argc, const char * * argv)                      at Source\JavaScriptCore\shell\DLLLauncherMain.cpp(222)
> [External Code]

Attaching to process and hitting the Pause button breaks at jsc.cpp:174, and attempting to Step Into has the same effect as hitting Continue, since the call stack above the `exit(0);` call is just "external code".

[Ross Kirsling]

Hmm, it seems like if I ensure that we never collect continuously, then none of the subprocesses hang!

Now, AppleWin port Buildbots are running run-javascriptcore-tests with 64bit JSC JIT.
AppleWin port is also showing the same issue.
Release builds are timing out, while Debug builds are completing.
