[issue7251] Mark expected failures of test_math, test_cmath and test_round as such.

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm[at]gmail.com>:

There are some buildbot failures due to platform-specific bugs that need
to be marked as expected failures, using the unittest.expectedFailure
decorator. This may require reorganizing the tests slightly.

* tanh(-0.0) produces 0.0 instead of -0.0 on FreeBSD 6; this causes
test_math and test_cmath to fail. E.g.,

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/builders/x86%20FreeBSD%20trunk/builds/2741

* the libm round function on Debian alpha seems to be buggy; this
causes test_round in test_builtin.py to fail. E.g.,

http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/builders/alpha%20Debian%20trunk/builds/30

Oops. I meant 'platform' bugs, not 'platform-specific' bugs. These are
not bugs in Python, but in the underlying C library.

Skip Montanaro <skip[at]pobox.com> added the comment:

For 2.6.4 I get a test_float failure on Solaris as well:

test test_float failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/tuba/skipm/src/python/Python-2.6.4/Lib/test/test_float.py",
line 765, in test_roundtrip
self.identical(-x, roundtrip(-x))
File "/home/tuba/skipm/src/python/Python-2.6.4/Lib/test/test_float.py",
line 375, in identical
self.fail('%r not identical to %r' % (x, y))
AssertionError: -0.0 not identical to 0.0

Haven't looked at 2.7 or 3.1 yet, but it seems to fall into the same
class of test failures as the tanh(-0.0) critter.

May be one day python modules will deal with TANH_PRESERVES_ZERO_SIGN
set by configure check.

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm[at]gmail.com> added the comment:

Skip, that looks like a float.hex failure. I'm not sure what the
underlying problem is here; my best guess is that it's something to do
with the copysign function. Please could you tell me what the Solaris
results are for the following interactive session? (Results shown are on
OS X 10.5.)

Python 2.6.4+ (release26-maint:76116, Nov 5 2009, 13:30:59)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import math
>>> (-0.0).hex()
'-0x0.0p+0'
>>> float.fromhex((-0.0).hex())
-0.0
>>> math.copysign(1.0, -0.0)
-1.0

Also, is HAVE_COPYSIGN defined in pyconfig.h?

Maybe. I added that configure check mainly as a diagnostic, to verify a
suspected cause of test failures. I'm not sure to what degree it's worth
working around system libm bugs in the Python source: an explosion of
#ifdefs in mathmodule.c and cmathmodule.c would reduce readability and
maintainability.

The test_round failure on Debian alpha is likely related to this glibc
bug:

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm[at]gmail.com> added the comment:

The round tests for large values have been broken out into their own test;
this test is now skipped (only if it would fail) on Linux/alpha. See
r76176 (trunk), r76177 (py3k) and r76178 (release31-maint).

The round function itself needs fixing in release26-maint: issue #7070.

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm[at]gmail.com> added the comment:

The round function in release26-maint is fixed (r76179). I'm not sure
whether the round_large test needs to be skipped for release26-maint,
since the Python 2.6 version of round doesn't use the libm round
function.

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm[at]gmail.com> added the comment:

The tanh-related failures are no longer happening, since the FreeBSD
buildbot was upgraded from FreeBSD 6.2 to FreeBSD 6.4.

I'm still worried by Skip's report, but that's a separate issue.

Closing.
