Ready for review. Only test-wasm-i64.js segfaulting on macos-13 remains (and macos 13 goes EOL in three months so maybe not worth the effort to sink a lot of time in?) |
The tests scan stderr of the child process for a particular string. My hypothesis is that, because they don't wait for the child to terminate, there is a race window where the parent tries to read stderr before the child is completely done writing the error message. This problem doesn't manifest on the other buildbots but maybe the Windows buildbots are a little slower, or maybe line buffering works different there, making the problem more apparent.

Yeah. I should also get back into replacing wasm3 (as it's unmaintained) with wavm. Thanks Ben! |
