Cool.
So, now we are down to the fine details. Please do see just how far you can
stretch the existing mechanisms to cover what you need to do. I think the
existing mechanisms should be able to cover it all; but the devil is in the
details and those matter.
At this point I'm only proposing one new directive, dg-ice. I think we can't
really do without it. The other one was a matter of convenience.
I've realized I have a concern. Grepping (or searching in an editor buffer)
the log file for 'internal compiler error' to find actual regressions is a
thing I want to still be able to do (perhaps with alternative spelling, I
don't care). I don't want to see the ICEs of tests that are expected to
ICE.
I think that means there has to be a positive marker on the unexpected ICEs,
rather than lack of an expected marker on them.
Hmm, by the log file you mean g++.log? Currently, if you run a dg-ice test,
and the test still ICEs, the g++.log file (but not the stdout of make
check-c++!) will have:
Executing on host: ... xg++ with options ...
spawn -ignore SIGHUP ... xg++ with options ...
.../foo.C:14:15: internal compiler error: in poplevel_class, at
cp/name-lookup.c:4225
<backtrace>
compiler exited with status 1
XFAIL: g++.dg/foo.C -std=c++17 (internal compiler error)
PASS: g++.dg/foo.C -std=c++17 (test for excess errors)
Which one of these would you not like to see?
Neither of these is solving the issue. How do I find the ICES that are
unexpected, without tripping over the ICEs that are expected?
Can you give me more details? Hopefully we'll work something out that doesn't
break your workflow.
sure.
* develop patch
* run testsuite
* observe unexpected ICEs
* load g++.log into editor
* ^sinternal comp
* gets to first unexpected ICE
* debug it.
What does '^sinternal comp' become? As there could be many expected
ICEs it'll be painful to determine whether any particular utterance of
'internal compiler' is expected or not.
