Re: 1600 "unexpected failures" in gdb-weekly-CVS-6.8.50.20090113.tar.bz2 (on OpenSolaris 2008.11 using gcc version 4.4.0 20090111) |

Did you consider fixing this, and posting a patch at gdb-patches@ ?
Not for a moment. All my spare time is devoted to gcc, OpenSolaris and
a few other things ...
There are other people better qualified than I am to ensure that GDB
and Binutils is fixed _CORRECTLY_ for
the OpenSolaris Platform. I would not want to implement fixes to have
someone else come along and need
to fix my fixes. These should be fixed by a better qualified person
than me.
I only have 6 months experience with OpenSolaris and only needed to
build gdb to attempt to fix something
else, not to adopt another GNU project to devote more time to. I
volunteer (way) over 10 hours a week to
the GNU projects so I feel no guilt about not taking on any more work.
:) .
I like to see the "# of unexpected failures" closer to zero.
Someone has to put effort into making that happen.
Yes, it would be nice.
If you look at the log file, does it look like many failures are ...
I can enclose the screen output during the check I made
a few days ago but I can not find the '.log' file. See enclosure.
Thanks for accepting my report,
Rob

Nasty. Even more, the current code assumes
that alignof (arg.watch) == alignof (prwatch_t)).

[...]
If you look at the log file, does it look like many failures are
related to \r\n patterns being misdetected? Passing --debug to
RUNTESTFLAGS
will make it easier to spot. I had some troubles related to that when
I last ran the testsuite on that version of Solaris. See here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2008-08/msg00144.html
I still don't know what the proper fix is.
