Yes, of course it is helpful. Some functions have a specification that leaves a lot of room to the implementation. Printing the result helps to determine quality-of-implementation issues. > I left backtrace_symbols_fd untested because I did not see too much > benefit in testing it. Oh, every function is worth testing. Sometimes the implementors were lazy and the function always crashes :) (See doc/posix-functions/wctrans.texi.) Bruno
