I was surprised to see this in phobos master:

make -f posix.mak unittest

This passes. So do these:

make -f posix.mak BUILD=debug unittest
make -f posix.mak BUILD=release unittest

Now, this also passes:

make -f posix.mak BUILD=debug std/algorithm/sorting.test

But this fails in std/algorithm/sorting.d line 2266!

make -f posix.mak BUILD=release std/algorithm/sorting.test

I'll investigate this. Any insight is welcome!


Thanks,

Andrei

That is known as well ;-)

std.algorithm.sorting fails in the individual test due to entropy 
behaving weird in std.math:

A couple of pointers:

- https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4587 (recognizes this 
problem and ignores std.algorithm.sorting from Travis)
- https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4719 (switches back to 
just run test_runner)

I answered to quickly:

1) entropy is in std.numeric, not std.math
2) the issue has been reported a month ago - 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16227
