Thanks for your work on adding a testsuite. Can you please explain why
you do this when a complete testsuite exists in autoconf (autotest)
format (which roots back to decade of work in GnuCOBOL, with all
copyrights for that already with the FSF)?
Is the existence of this in upstream [1] just unknown (because it was
not part of the initial patches [for reasons I not understood])?
Is the format such a big issue (note: previous discussions elaborated "a
test suite is very important and other frontends also use a framework
other than dejagnu)?
If dejagnu is the way to go:
* Shouldn't there be deprecation of autotest in autoconf (of course only
if that preference is also outside of gcc)?
* Shouldn't there be a (at least semi automated) script / migration tool
(at least for this specific time in place to convert the "UAT" once into
dejagnu format)?
Thanks for giving me some context on this,
Simon
