Date: Fri, 10 May 2002 12:13:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200205101913.g4AJDia18551@duracef.shout.net> (raw)
Whoops, you've got the setup_kfail one line early in the tests.
Other than that, this patch is approved.
setup_kfail is our new facility for indicating that a test will
fail due to a known bug in gdb (k == "k"nown). This way, we can
distinguish between known bugs and new, unknown bugs (which are
presumably regressions).
It's not perfect because the more setup_kfail's exist in the test corpus,
the more likely that a regression will manifest as a KFAIL. But it's
a lot better than those hundreds of setup_xfail's that are not really
external bugs.
FernandoN has written a DejaGnu patch with doco. Here's a pointer:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2002-04/msg00201.html
We're waiting on Rob Savoye right now to release a new DejaGnu
with this patch. Also I don't know if Fernando's patch is in
sourceware dejagnu or not. I'm using DejaGnu 1.42 + this patch,
so I am ready for kfail's whenever we start going live with them.
