  1. [buildfarm related] Machines gcc experimental failed test_lfind

    Hi hackers,
    
    Sorry if it has already been discussed somewhere.
    
    While seeing the buildfarm, I found that recently regression test for modules
    sometimes failed [1]. Typical example is [2] and failed at simd.h.
    The issue happened over branches, and they use gcc experimental. Based on that
    I felt recent commits for gcc might be related with.
    
    I don't have enough knowledge around here, but I saw commits in gcc and listed
    Candidates [4], [5], [6]. Can you find something from here?
    Also, what should we do for nightly-built compilers? Will we fix tests or codes for them?

    We're not compiler engineers.

    We might ask ourselves how often these have resulted in
    forward-looking fixes for our code, weighed against spurious failures
    and compiler bugs.

    If a problem is being observed only on animals with experimental
    compilers, it's almost surely a compiler bug and not something
    we should spend time on.  In this case, the failure is in test
    code that hasn't changed in several years, making it even less
    likely that we broke it.
    
    I'm not really thrilled that toolchains like these are being
    run as normal buildfarm animals.  Even with the "experimental"
    annotation, there's too much chance that PG hackers will spend
    time analyzing issues that aren't ours.  I do realize that
    there's value in this sort of testing, I just wish the results
    were more clearly identified as "probably not our problem".

    It looks like the failures are limited to AArch64, and commit f8f4afe did
    change the code in question a bit.  However, there are failures on older
    PG versions where that commit was not applied, so the evidence does seem to
    point to a compiler bug.

    The present failures started much more recently than f8f4afe ...
    leafhopper, for example, was okay until about a day ago.
    Also, AFAICS f8f4afe was HEAD-only, but leafhopper is also
    failing in v18.  (No evidence as yet about older branches.)
    
    Anyway, this is exactly the sort of analysis that we shouldn't
    be doing.

    Well, I wanted to be sure we weren't accidentally depending on undefined
    behavior, like what we fixed in commit 43da394.  Something like that seemed
    within the realm of possibility.

    Dear John, Tom and Nathan,
    
    Thanks for seeing the issue. I found the animals are now green, e.g. [1], so
    I hope it might be a compiler's bug. I learned that no need to spend time for
    experimental tools unless we have idea around here.
