(I think it qualifies as "obvious".) > Thanks > Wolfgang Well, "obvious" patches still should be tested somehow. I figured out a way. After compiling gcc, I replaced "ld" with a shell script like so, alternately replacing SEGV with TERM to control whether to create a core from "ld". > #!/bin/bash > kill -SEGV $$ I verified that the current compiler's error message is wrong, and the patch fixes it. So I went ahead and installed it on the mainline as "obvious". Since this PR is a regression (albeit a minor one regarding an error message,) I'd like to get it into the branches if possible. OK for 3.3 and 3.2? http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-03/msg02151.html Thanks, --Kaveh -- Kaveh R. Ghazi ghazi@caip.rutgers.edu
