Since at least r138218, the regress test for powerpc-apple-darwin8.5.0 has been showing the new failures of...

FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/limits-exprparen.c -O0 (test for excess errors) Geoff Keating suggests this indicates the test is no longer testing if the stack space for gcc is reasonable. I don't see this on a dual G5 with 4GB of ram running darwin9 but regress is a G4 with less ram (I assume) running darwin8. -- Summary: Out of stack space on gcc.c-torture/compile/limits- exprparen.c Product: gcc Version: 4.4.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: testsuite AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: howarth at nitro dot med dot uc dot edu GCC build triplet: powerpc-apple-darwin8.5.0 GCC host triplet: powerpc-apple-darwin8.5.0 GCC target triplet: powerpc-apple-darwin8.5.0 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38605
