Subject: Re: [patch/rfc] KFAIL gdb.c++/annota2.exp watch triggered on a.x
Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2003 22:12:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200301032212.h03MCQa20253@duracef.shout.net> (raw)

One advantage of David's code is that when the bug gets fixed,
people see a more informative message for a while: "KPASS gdb/38"
rather than "PASS".

One disadvantage is that it adds more file editing steps to the
lifecycle.  David, what edits, exactly, are you envisioning
when "KPASS gdb/38" starts popping up?

You shouldn't delete this part:

  -re "known bad expression" {
    kfail "gdb/NNN" "test name"
  }

... because old bugs have a way of popping up again, especially
when additional configurations get tested.
