In fact, in the test, src/Interfaces/maxima is launched. So wims is not launched at all. To have the behaviour with wims, one should make the test wims test file tt where file is a file with inside tt=!exec maxima 3+4 Bernadette |

You are right and the tests for the calculation software are not fiable. I put them only because there are some environment variables I never remember ! I was more interested on the "wims command" So I have no answer about your question. |

Hello, How to be sure that the tests in wimstest give the same result as executed from wims by the standard way ? I found a strange behaviour in this respect with the classical memory problem of maxima : on some servers (64 bits ?) if we don't increase the value of rlimit_as in wims.c, the use of maxima isn't possible in wims, for instance the command 3+4; launched from directexec produces an error : mmap: Cannot allocate memory ensure_space: failed to validate 8589869056 bytes at 0x1000000000 (hint: Try "ulimit -a"; maybe you should increase memory limits.) maxima: execution error or time out. But the wimstest maxima.sh is still correctly executed (it creates a file containing the correct result "7"). Does any of you understand this difference ? Eric |
