Sorry I forgot the mailing list ^^ I was only answering to Dave Korn ....
Just a message to notice that you must be patient for my script &
program test to crash .....
Previously I have waited for 1150 loops to see gcc crash. (And "rm"
command failed 6 times 'only' ^^)
I'm still installing lot of programs on my virtual machine but the
script doesn't want to fail :-(
grrrr I'll find it..........
My new script (with counters) :
#!/bin/sh
ok=0
fails=0
while gcc prog.c -o prog.exe ; do
if ! rm prog.exe; then
echo "** RM FAILS **"
fails="$(( $fails + 1 ))"
else
ok="$(( $ok + 1 ))"
fi;
echo "ok $ok , fails $fails"
done;
echo "fails !"
