Re: Extra 4.0 -fpic/-fPIC testsuite failures on i686-unknown-linux-gnu

[Paolo Carlini]

Hi Kaveh,
Finally, here are the excess -fpic/-fPIC testsuite failures from
mainline on i686-pc-linux-gnu as noted here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2005-01/msg00027.html
I'd like some assistance categorizing them please.
 

I'm trying to help for the libstdc++-v3 failure: can you confirm that, in
order to reproduce, I should just add -fpic/-fPIC to the CXXFLAGS? Or,
please clarify, otherwise, thanks...
27_io/basic_istream/extractors_character/wchar_t/1.cc:52: void test01(): Assertion `i1 == i2' failed.
(New testcase.)
 

This is a rather new testcase that I adapted from the plain char 
counterpart.
I think it's just a bug in the testcases (present also in the char 
version actually):
In fact i1 is computed as:

   i1 = ctraits_type::length(array1);
but array1 is *not* zero terminated ;)
Paolo.
