For compile-time fortify checks (such as the wrappers for type-safe
open/openat), we need to add tests in glibc which examine the compiler
output for warnings and errors.
I do not want to add Dejagnu as a dependency to the glibc test suite,
but I wonder if you could share any lessons learned from the testing
support facility in GCC.
Would you suggest to mirror the GCC directives exactly?
I probably have to implement the testing directive parser as a small C
program.
Thanks,
Florian
