Bug ID: 104023 Summary: Bulk rename of C++ test files to one filename extension ? Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: testsuite Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: dcb314 at hotmail dot com Target Milestone: --- I notice the following in the testsuite: [/home/dcb/gcc/trunk.git/gcc/testsuite] $ find . -name \*.C -print | wc -l 18461 [/home/dcb/gcc/trunk.git/gcc/testsuite] $ find . -name \*.cc -print | wc -l 168 [/home/dcb/gcc/trunk.git/gcc/testsuite] $ find . -name \*.cpp -print | wc -l 23 [/home/dcb/gcc/trunk.git/gcc/testsuite] $ find . -name \*.cxx -print | wc -l 0 [/home/dcb/gcc/trunk.git/gcc/testsuite] $ Would it be a good idea to pick one filename extension for C++ testsuite files and stick to it ? Maybe moving to *.C would be cheap, but I notice that the main parts of the compiler are moving to using *.cc, implying that over 18,000 files might have to be moved to *.cc Just an idea. Given the amount of work involved, it might not be worth it.
