| Title | Many (mmqa) tests fail on OS X |

| Description | perl test/test/qa run test/function/5.c fails because, % MPS ASSERTION FAILURE !assert=true !assertid=<no id supplied> !assertcond=ResIsAllocFailure(res) !assertfile=trace.c !assertline=511 This turns out to be because of an unimplemented stack scanner. |
| Analysis | OS X uses the ssan.c implementation of the Stack Scanner which has no real implementation, it just return ResUNIMPL. We need to implement sspp.s, a version of the stack scanner in PowerPC. This is sufficiently distant from the reported defect that I will create a new job for creating an Stack Scanner for PowerPC / OS X. See job001146 |
