our buildbots are setup to configure --with-pydebug which also
unfortunately causes them to compile with -O0... this results in a python binary that is excruciatingly slow and makes the entire test suite run take a long time.
given that nobody is ever going to run a gdb or another debugger on the
buildbot generated transient binaries themselves how about we speed all of the buildbot's up by adding CFLAGS=-O2 to the configure command line? The main problem is that doing so would disable test_gdb. Humans don't run gdb on those binaries, but the test suite does. I agree it would be nice to figure out a way to run most of the tests on an optimised build, though. Cheers, Nick.
Sure, the compile step will take a bit longer but that is dwarfed by the
test time as it is:
http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20Ubuntu%20LTS%203.x/builds/32...
http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/ARMv7%203.x/builds/7
http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20Snow%20Leop%203.x/builds/639
It should dramatically decrease the turnaround latency for buildbot
results.
