• Fortran Compiler: GFortran 7.1
• C compiler used for building lib: GCC 7.1
• Installation method: Travis-CI tests
• Output of uname -a: Good question, I should add this to .travis.yml... dockerized MacOS
• MPI library being used: MPICH 3.2
• Machine architecture and number of physical cores: virtual x86_64
• Version of CMake: 3.4

Observed Behavior

Test allocate_as_barrier_proc fails with:

      Start  6: allocate_as_barrier_proc
      Test  #6: allocate_as_barrier_proc .........***Failed  Required regular expression not found.Regex=[Test passed.
]  1.12 sec
 Test failed.           0

(https://travis-ci.org/sourceryinstitute/OpenCoarrays/jobs/253477906#L3460)

Expected Behavior

Test passes

Steps to Reproduce

Run on CI and repeat test a lot with CTest. @afanfa or @vehre if you want me to show you how to do this, please let me know.

[zbeekman]

Here is a link to a CI job that I won't rerun, that shows the error: https://travis-ci.org/sourceryinstitute/OpenCoarrays/jobs/262671942#L2947

[vehre]

Well, this is difficult to reproduce. On Linux I have no problem when running the test multiple times nor when running it with increasing number of processes 2-64 (more won't work on my machine: overload).
Furthermore did I try to start the test in parallel, but even starting it 40-times with 8 processes each did not produce the error.
I am using mpich 3.2.6.fc25. They have some small additional patches, but nothing that touches inner MPI routines. So I am tempted to exclude the slightly different version from the cause.

[zbeekman]

Yes I agree that this is very difficult to debug. I mostly just want to track it and document it here. Unless some insight can be gained from inspecting the code responsible for implicit synchronization of subroutines that do allocation, we can just sit on this issue---at least until it's observed in the wild.

[zbeekman]

This seems to happen more when compiling with clang, or using OpenMPI

Here is a more helpful debug log, but may not have all of the required information: (See https://travis-ci.org/sourceryinstitute/OpenCoarrays/jobs/373497931#L1733)

This appears to be fixed on GFortran >= 7. I'm going to close this after adding having CMake disable this test

if( ( NOT CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER_VERSION VERSION_LESS 7.0.0 ) OR OPENCOARRAYS_DEVELOPER )

Here is the debug output for GCC 6.4:
