Hi! I've noticed when using ALT_CC_UNDER_TEST=gcc all compat.exp and struct-layout-1.exp tests fail, because prune.exp adds -fno-diagnostics-show-caret unconditionally, which is undesirable if $ALT_CC_UNDER_TEST doesn't support that option (but of course desirable if $ALT_CC_UNDER_TEST supports carets). check-g++ compat.exp & struct-layout-1.exp don't suffer from this problem, because they apparently clear ALWAYS_CXXFLAGS completely in their compat-use-alt-compiler (which isn't right either, when testing say g++ 4.9 against 4.8 we will want to pass -fno-diagnostics-show-caret, and also perhaps -fmessage-length=0 should be passed too conditionally depending on whether alt g++ supports it or not). Another thing is that ALT_*_UNDER_TEST testing doesn't work when testing a compiler built with different prefix from the alt compiler, then the problem is that GCC_RUN_PATH is put into environment. Perhaps compat-use-alt-compiler should remove GCC_RUN_PATH from environment and compat-use-tst-compiler add it back if it was initially in the environment?
Anyway, this fixes the most urgent issue. Ok for trunk? 2013-01-02 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> * lib/c-compat.exp (compat-use-alt-compiler): Remove -fno-diagnostics-show-caret from TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS if needed. (compat-use-tst-compiler): Restore TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS. (compat_setup_dfp): Initialize compat_alt_caret and compat_save_TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS. --- gcc/testsuite/lib/c-compat.exp.jj 2009-02-20 15:43:09.000000000 +0100 +++ gcc/testsuite/lib/c-compat.exp 2013-01-02 13:41:28.595153560 +0100 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -# Copyright (C) 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 +# Copyright (C) 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2013 # Free Software Foundation, Inc. # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify @@ -35,12 +35,16 @@ load_lib target-supports.exp # proc compat-use-alt-compiler { } { global GCC_UNDER_TEST ALT_CC_UNDER_TEST - global compat_same_alt + global compat_same_alt compat_alt_caret + global TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS # We don't need to do this if the alternate compiler is actually # the same as the compiler under test. if { $compat_same_alt == 0 } then { set GCC_UNDER_TEST $ALT_CC_UNDER_TEST + if { $compat_alt_caret == 0 } then { + regsub -- "-fno-diagnostics-show-caret" $TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS "" TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS + } } } @@ -50,12 +54,14 @@ proc compat-use-alt-compiler { } { proc compat-use-tst-compiler { } { global GCC_UNDER_TEST compat_save_gcc_under_test global compat_same_alt + global TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS compat_save_TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS # We don't need to do this if the alternate compiler is actually # the same as the compiler under test. if { $compat_same_alt == 0 } then { set GCC_UNDER_TEST $compat_save_gcc_under_test + set TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS $compat_save_TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS } } @@ -64,6 +70,11 @@ proc compat_setup_dfp { } { global compat_use_alt global compat_same_alt global compat_have_dfp + global compat_alt_caret + global TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS compat_save_TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS + + set compat_alt_caret 0 + set compat_save_TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS $TEST_ALWAYS_FLAGS verbose "compat_setup_dfp: $compat_use_alt $compat_same_alt" 2 @@ -72,6 +83,15 @@ proc compat_setup_dfp { } { set compat_have_dfp [check_effective_target_dfprt_nocache] verbose "compat_have_dfp for tst compiler: $compat_have_dfp" 2 + if { $compat_use_alt == 1 && $compat_same_alt == 0 } { + compat-use-alt-compiler + if { [check_no_compiler_messages_nocache compat_alt_has_caret object { + int dummy; } "-fno-diagnostics-show-caret"] != 0 } { + set compat_alt_caret 1 + } + compat-use-tst-compiler + } + # If there is an alternate compiler, does it support decimal float types? if { $compat_have_dfp == 1 && $compat_use_alt == 1 && $compat_same_alt == 0 } { compat-use-alt-compiler Jakub
