Hi Robert, Since there's only one ACATS FAIL on mipsel-linux I investigated it and it looks like a-teioed.adb code is wrong in some case:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39221 << ,.,. CXF3A01 ACATS 2.5 09-02-17 22:07:04 ---- CXF3A01 Check that the Valid function from package Ada.Text_IO.Editing returns False for strings that fail to comply with the composition constraints defined for picture strings. Check that the Valid function returns True for strings that conform to the composition constraints defined for picture strings. * CXF3A01 Incorrect result from Function Valid using Invalid_String = 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999. **** CXF3A01 FAILED ****************************. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2009-02/msg01635.html After investigation it looks like the code of Expand is wrong when Picture'Length > MAX_PICSIZE since in this case memory after Result will be overwritten (on all platform, but with effect FAIL on mipsel and ia64-linux). Two obvious solutions: use Unsupress locally since there's already a others handler or add explicit length checks. >> To reach quickly the interesting point under gdb: break cxf3a01.adb:110 cond 1 i=25 run step If you share my analysis, what solution do you suggest? Thanks in advance, Laurent
