From b54c60b76af183ffa8980845200b8f549d858c3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Fl=C4=81vius?= Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 12:05:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] rexcode: the x86 test suite could fail and the build said PASS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Found by accident, and worse than the bug that found it. Five deliberately broken decode cases came back green through `build.lua --test --isa x86`, while running the same suite directly reported "253/258 PASSED, 5 FAILED". Two independent holes, both open, so neither backstopped the other: - the x86 test binary ended at `print_summary()` and never called `os.exit`, so it exited 0 no matter how many cases failed; - `do_test` looked for the words "N failed" in the output, and the x86 harness prints "N FAILED" — a lowercase-only Lua pattern, so the largest suite in the tree was exempt from its own gate. The exit code is the check that should have been load-bearing, so the harness sets it. The output match stays as a backstop for a suite that forgets to, and is now case-insensitive. How long this has been true is not knowable from here — every x86 regression since the pattern was written would have been reported as PASS.
