[New-bugs-announce] [issue7127] regrtest -j fails when tests write to stderr

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com>:

If a test writes to stderr, then the -j (multiprocessing) support in
regrtest fails to correctly extract the JSON data from the test output,
resulting in a JSON traceback followed by a failure of the worker
thread.  Antoine has suggested tagging the JSON result string with a
prefix and looking for that prefix, instead of the current method (which
assumes that the JSON result string is at the end of the output from the
test).
