Re: [commit] Deprecate remaining STREQ uses



It should be relatively easy to produce a script like that, assuming
that the tests you listed above constitute the minimal suite of tests
that are required to prove that a GDB port is alive (or at least if
the set of the tests required for that doesn't change too much with
time).  If the set of tests changes too much, tracking them might not
be easy, given my free time (or should I say the lack thereof ;-)[1].

As an aside, it is in theory possible to use dejagnu to test a remote go32 system. I believe that the code is no longer used (it was developed to remote test cygwin) and presumably bitrotten. So no way is any one going to be expected to run that, and I don't know that there is much return on investment.


Having said that, someone might find it useful as a tool that allows us to finally overhaul the *&!)($*&)(*@ coff code.

However, running the script once a month (on the then-latest snapshot,
I presume) is not something that I can afford, and I don't see anyone
else stepping forward to do that for me.

I suspect michael might have been volunteering :-)


Since your proposal for deprecating counts minor releases, would it
be enough to request a run for every such release?

That's what actually happens :-)
