Subject: GDB `cannotfix' pr state, require PR with xfail `moving forward'.
Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2003 19:35:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E270973.9020702@redhat.com> (raw)
Hello,
There is currently a long thread (Remove all setup_xfail...)'s on
gdb-patches@. Several proposals, I think, can already be identified at
this point in the discussion.
- yank the existing xfail PR markings (but not the actual xfails) (they
apply to old internal Red Hat and HP bug databases and hence are
meaningless).
- `moving forward' all new xfails, and all modifications to existing
xfail's should include a bug report (this way, new analyzed vs old
unanalized xfail's can easily be differentiated).
- GDB have a new closed state `cannotfix'; or a new class `xfail' or
`notabug' or ...; or even reuse the class `mistaken' that can be used to
categorize xfail bug reports (not sure which is better here).
thoughts,
Andrew
PS: The state `willnotfix' was suggested. I think that is wrong. GDB
shouldn't refuse to fix a real problem (just drop the priority to low),
and here the problem is one of cannot fix.
