Err, I'm not sure if you mean the dejagnu scripts, or my scripts. My scripts are happy with this format. A lot of tests use "(...)" for various things, so the "PRMS" and "gdb/NNN" bits need to be mandatory in order to pick out this information from the noise. fna> setup_kfail "gdb/999" *-*-* Fine with me. setup_kfail *-*-* "gdb/999" is fine with me as well. fna> 4) Note that, when a test that was expected to fail due to a known fna> bug suddenly starts to pass, it becomes a KPASS (as XFAILs do).

You can access the Gnats database through a URL: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb&cmd=view&pr=460 For programmatic access, there may already be a more suitable "cmd" than "cmd=view", or someone may need to update gnatsweb.pl. I volunteer to write Perl analysis scripts. My test bed is almost all Perl, and I am planning to release it. Michael C
