Hello. I'd read "GCC 4.3.0 Status Report (2007-11-27)" from http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-11/msg00753.html
I suppose that there is not time to eliminate many bugs from open regressions & others. Could not we to use "Code coverage" of the GCC snapshot during its bootstrapping or testsuite time? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_coverage It's very useful to analyze, line by line, or frame by frame, the traces of the GCC's sources. So, we can investigate "what lines are executed?" and "what lines aren't executed?", "how many times are executed"?, etc. Thanks to "Code Coverage", with the traces, we can to detect the anomalies of the new algorithms or existent modified algorithms. It's a little different to profiling (almost profiling functions only). "No Code Coverage" means "No important help from Code Coverage", so "Code Coverage" is our future help to follow. J.C.Pizarro
