Comparison of gcc 3.2.1 and gcc 3.2.2-20030203 with gdb

Comparison of gcc 3.2.1 and gcc 3.2.2-20030203 with gdb

[Michael Elizabeth Chastain]

Hello,

I'm a gdb guy.  I run regular regression tests on gdb with a variety of gdb
versions, gcc versions, and binutils versions, and analyze the results.

I am happy to report that a comparison of gcc 3.2.1 and gcc 3.2.2-20030203
showed no regressions in gdb behavior.  This is on native i686-pc-linux-gnu
with both dwarf-2 and stabs+.

My test matrix was:

  target     => native
  host       => i686-pc-linux-gnu
  osversion  => red-hat-8.0
  gdb        => 5.3, gdb_5_3-branch%20030205, HEAD%20030205
  gcc        => 2.95.3, 3.2-7-rh, 3.2.1, 3.2.2-20030203, gcc-3_2-branch%20030204, gcc-3_3-branch%20030204, HEAD%20030204
  binutils   => 2.13.90.0.2-rh, 2.13.2.1, HEAD%20030204
  libc       => 2.2.93-5-rh
  gformat    => dwarf-2, stabs+
  count         114 = 1 * 1 * 1 * 3 * (6*3+1*1) * 1 * 2

(I'm not sure if I should post this to gcc or gcc-testresults,
as gcc-testresults looks it's all automated results for gcc).

Sure, that would be very helpful.

Thanks,

First of all, thanks!

Second, I believe this raises an important point: Might it be a good idea
that, a weak before rolling an actual release, to also drop a note to the
gcc-announce list to enroll additional testers for our prereleases?

Comments?

That makes sense to me.
