RE: Suggested (easier) fix to ... RE: Regressions problem (200 failures)


Title: RE: Suggested (easier) fix to ... RE: Regressions problem (200 fa ilures)
And a bit more... the rebuild/regression did succeed (after some tweaking)
and the problem with __main is in the current CVS as well.

Mark:
 
I just tried to rebuild with my interim patch in place, and found that RTH had completely
rewritten the area.  If I don't run into too many ICEs during the rebuild of the compiler
suite (it comes and goes regularly depending on who has patched what) I'll know
something tomorrow (Fri) about what effect his changes had on this, but from
 looking at the code, it may have the same problem.  (I'm skipping my patch for the moment.)
 
Richard: quick synopsis: the code in this area doesn't (didn't?) take into account the
possibility of there being a call to __main, with the consequence that the initial
breakpoint for main ends up at the {, rather than at the first statement *if* the
call to __main is generated.

Touche.

OK, now I understand the problem -- thanks to you.  I'll look back at
why I did what I did -- and then see if I can figure out how to fix
it.

Thanks for bearing with me on this.
