In particular, just testing that errors are reported on lines flagged ERROR will not work for at least half of the tests, if you bother to look at the first B test: Commiting the B tests as is in GCC CVS is of zero value given they are readily available to anyone willing to spend more than one useful second of actual work on it. While waiting for someone volunteer to do the B test work instead of just talking ("talk is cheap" as once said a famous participant of this list :), I assume it is reasonable to proceed with the executable part as discussed and so far agreed upon. I'll upload a prototype tarball this weekend, I have a few hours of work to do to properly match and package the current upstream ACATS and write all the documentation I promised :). -- Laurent Guerby
