-file-list-exec-source-files testsuite question

[Bob Rossi]

Hi,

Before committing my -file-list-exec-source-files patch I am running the
testsuite a final time.

With a fresh checkout I get,
   # of expected passes        10072
   # of unexpected failures    32
   # of unexpected successes   1
   # of expected failures      52
   # of unknown successes      40
   # of known failures     73
   # of unresolved testcases   1
   # of untested testcases     3
   # of unsupported tests      6

With my patch I get,
   # of expected passes        10075
   # of unexpected failures    31
   # of unexpected successes   1
   # of expected failures      52
   # of unknown successes      40
   # of known failures     73
   # of unresolved testcases   2
   # of untested testcases     3
   # of unsupported tests      8

The number of expected passes makes sense to me, since I added some
results. I am concerned about the number of unsupported tests and the
number of unresolved testcases. What does this mean? Is this normal?

Finally, it looks like 1 unexpected failure was fixed. How can I find
more info about these?

Thanks,
Bob Rossi

It's normal.  It means that gdb has bugs, or the test suite has
deficiencies, or the platform that you are running on is missing things.

The best thing to do is 'diff old/gdb.sum new/gdb.sum' and look at
the results.  You can post the results of the diff and someone (me)
can tell you if these are normal noise or abnormal noise.
