<<My experience working on the C front end has been that tests for proper
diagnostics from ill-formed code are extremely useful. Can you explain
why they're almost useless for the Ada front end?

It's just the experience that I mentioned, that most of the work is
fiddling for perfectly acceptable correct changes in messages.
<<This is all fair. How about a compromise position where you check the B
tests into the CVS tree but don't bother adding dejagnu harnesses for them.
They are then instantly available if they are needed.

Certainly they are not secret. And we can certainly check them in. The
question is whether to set up the harness with the baselines or not.
(evaluating B test runs without the baselines is an overwhelming task).
