            Bug ID: 18704
           Summary: Don't run bigcore test by default on make check
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: testsuite
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: ciro.santilli at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

When I run the testsuite, gdb.base/bigcore.exp takes a very long time, and
worse: almost stalls my machine because it runs out of memory, and produces a
16Gb file.

I wish that this test would not be run by default as it just puts way more
strain on the machine than any other.

I have seen projects that put all slow / intensive tests in a separate
directory and you need a separate command to do them, e.g.:

    make perf

I'm not sure if such test category currently exists: performance tests are
typical candidates for such category, but they are acceptably slow.

If I could all tests but one that would be great as well, but gmake's wildcard
does not seem to support it easily:

Old issue that does an analogous thing on Frisk:
