------- Additional Comments From jsm28 at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-05-13 19:27 ------- What was the purpose of applying this patch to 4.0 branch? Did it fix a regression? I can't find this patch (looking for the ChangeLog entry test) in my gcc-patches folders.
As the patch changes the testsuite harness it changes what each test tests so the appearance of a FAIL might or might not strictly be a regression (depending on whether the same test and harness combination fail or pass with older compiler versions) but it seems undesirable on a release branch. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21554
