Using simulavr, I have so far succeeded the vast majority of the execution tests. Among the whole test suite there are only about 3 tests that cannot= be executed since they need too much memory. (If interested: look at the=20 corresponding threads at the avr-libc-dev mailing list for a how-to). I ha= ve=20 just posted the first test result at gcc-testresult@gcc.gnu.org. Having in mind that the avr community is fairly active, it is, in my opion= ion not justified to consider this platform to be not even secondary target. In my opinion it could be a big benefit also for the bigger platforms=20 development: Those like us, who are working with tiny systems actually still look at th= eir assembler code. We will recognize immediately if a change in the compiler mid-end, e.g. the register allocator results in strange or not optimal code. Yours, Bj=F6rn
