with -O between -Og, -O0 and -O2 it gives 1:300 - pass:fail Chances for pass are increased by running or turning off any GL app.. for this case I always get one or two "pass". With CFLAGS="-ggdb -pg -g -Og -gdwarf-2 -gstrict-dwarf" I mostly getting more pass for turning GL app on/off (about 3-4) Command to test: $ while true; do sleep 0.03 && /projects/piglit/bin/gl-3.2-layered-rendering-clear-color-all-types 3d single_level -fbo -auto | grep pass; done
