This proposal is for HEAD only, not gdb_6_0-branch. The issue is that "gdb.c++" contains characters which are not permitted on MS-DOS filenames. So *every* file in testsuite/gdb.c++ must have an entry in config/djgpp/fnchange.lst. I would like to get away from that requirement and use plain directory names that just work everywhere. I propose to use testsuite/gdb.cp for new C++ test scripts only. Existing scripts would remain in gdb.c++. 'cp' is the same name that other C++ files in gdb have, such as cp-abi.c, cp-namespace.c, and cp-support.c. Also libiberty/cp-demangle.c. I am proposing this because I want to add a test script for pr gdb/186, which has been open for two years and is still broken with gdb HEAD. I'd like to start adding new test scripts to the new directory, so I'm coming here to create the new directory. 'cvs add' with a directory name is irreversible (with cvs commands at least) so I am making a formal application to do this. Okay to create new directory gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp in HEAD ? Michael C
