After this you try make again, bootstrap && configure if this fails, run the testscript, tell hg bisect if its good or bad and repeat this until the revision which introduced the problem is found.
Or you can use "hg bisect --command", see next point.

Tracking octave bugs with hg bisect

I had a strange problem when loading gzip compressed ascii files in octave. It failed dependent on the integer values. After some stripping I made a minimalistic test script (min_testcase_fails.m) which always fails in a current dev (88616c872933):
fn="file2.txt"
fid = fopen (fn,"w");
fprintf(fid, "%i %i %i %i\n",639, 25, 160, 978160);
fprintf(fid, "%i %i %i %i\n",687, 25, 171, 978160);
fprintf(fid, "%i %i %i %i\n",663, 31, 173, 978161);
fprintf(fid, "%i %i %i %i\n",663, 15, 154, 978161);
fprintf(fid, "%i %i %i %i\n",655, 21, 151, 978161);
fclose(fid);
## gzip it!
fn_gz=strcat(fn, ".gz");
cmd=cstrcat("gzip ",fn," -c > ",fn_gz)
system(cmd);
c=load("file2.txt.gz")  #this fails in newer versions

If line 4 with "663, 15, 154, 978161" is changed to ""663, 16, 154, 978161", load works as expected. Strange, isn't it? I also had an old build (dev ab1c6e6d1be6 from Sun Oct 28 21:48:02 2012) and "load" worked in this version.

Running bisect

I decided to make a fresh clone in a separate directory:

cd ~/src
hg clone http://www.octave.org/hg/octave octave-src
cd octave-src
hg bisect -b 88616c872933
hg bisect -g ab1c6e6d1be6

After this hg bisect uses a binary search strategy to test revisions:

Teste Änderungssatz 16428:f016a5342e19 (1380 Änderungssätze verbleiben, ~10 Tests)

So after checkout I had to compile the source tree (used ccache in the hope of faster checkout-compile cycles).

./bootstrap
cd .. && mkdir octave-build && cd octave-build
export CXX="ccache g++"
export CC="ccache gcc"
../octave-src/configure
make -j 7

After compilation I tried my test min_testcase_fails.m:

./run-octave -q ../min_testcase_fails.m

good or bad?

cd ../octave-src && hg bisect -g

After this you try make again, bootstrap && configure if this fails, run the testscript, tell hg bisect if its good or bad and repeat this until the revision which introduced the problem is found. Or you can use "hg bisect --command", see next point.

hg bisect --command

I used Jordis bisect script for bug 32818 and modified it to my needs:

~/src$ cat bisect-loadsave.sh 
#!/bin/bash
SRCDIR=~/src/octave-src
BUILDDIR=~/src/octave-build
cd $SRCDIR
## Try a simple build first
if  ! make -j 7
then
   cd $SRCDIR
   ./bootstrap || exit 127
   #rm -rf $BUILDDIR
   #mkdir $BUILDDIR
   cd $BUILDDIR
   $SRCDIR/configure || exit 127
   make -j 7|| exit 127
fi
$BUILDDIR/run-octave -q ~/src/min_testcase_fails.m || exit 1
exit 0
