The patch should also add a testcase to the testsuite (which fails before and passes after the patch). > I ran the gcc testsuite with the result (the FAIL seems unrelated to the > patch): > > FAIL: gcc.dg/cpp/_Pragma3.c (test for excess errors) You should use contrib/gcc_update --touch to get timestamps in the right order when checking out. This failure is a symptom of badly ordered timestamps. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
