Hi Andrew,

Thanks. Regarding the working TCP stack on Windows the answer is  (I think) yes - it is our Windows terminal server machine and I was logged in using remote desktop at the time. However that doesn't rule out other problems. The compiler and c support libraries are also fairly recent. Any diagnostic suggestions would be welcome. I will also run the R3.14.12.1 tests to see if the result is the same.

Cheers,

Thanks for that report, Janet confirmed it so I just reverted the commit that
modified epicsSingleton.h a couple of weeks ago.

[I usually use 'make -s runtests' to silence the output from GNUmake and just
display the test results BTW.]

Those numbers are right for src/libCom/test; if you do the 'make runtests'
from the top level directory it also runs a second set of tests in src/db/test
but they're not likely to fail.

Those failures are known bugs in some versions of Microsoft's optimizer, which
assumes for example that the expression X-X will always give 0 (not true when
X is NaN).

Interesting, we don't get that here; that's one of Jeff's tests, and it
implies that socket() returned an invalid socket.  Did you have a working
TCP/IP network connected to the machine at the time?

Thanks,

- Andrew
