Hi! The COBOL tests has many tests which just dump emit lots of output to stdout and want to compare it against expected output. We have the dg-output directive, but if one needs more than dozens of lines in the output, adding hundreds of dg-output directives to each source uses too much memory and is harder to maintain.
The following patch offers an alternative, dg-output-file directive where one can supply a text file with expected output (no regexp matching in that case, just exact output, except that it handles different line ending styles (for the expected file using tcl gets, for the actual output skips over \n, \r\n or \r). And a newline at the end of the whole output is optional (in the actual output, because I think some boards get it eaten). Tested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? Also tested with addition or subtraction of some characters from the expected output files and saw FAILs with appropriate messages. 2025-03-18 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> * doc/sourcebuild.texi (dg-output-file): Document. * lib/gcc-dg.exp (${tool}-load): If output-file is set, compare combined output against content of the [lindex ${output-file} 1] file.
