These worry me (btw, no one got around to moving selftest.exp to testsuite/gdb.gdb/ :-). > native hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11 has regressions in 17 test scripts. > I estimate there's about 1 real regression bug per 4-5 test scripts, > so there are about 4-5 real regression bugs to hunt down and fix > (or document). > > http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-testers/2004-q2/msg00160.html > http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-testers/2004-q2/msg00157.html But these don't. Presumably being ISA specific its possible to have fixes easily pulled into the branch. There's also a balancing act here. GDB as a whole should continue to improve. While there are the above regressioins, there are also dramatic improvements on other ISAs such as i386 and PPC/PPC64. enjoy, Andrew
