Yes it will ICE on failure. What is the guideline on c.torture vs gcc.dg?
I don't think there's any general guidelines.
c-torture was an older framework that was considerably less expressive
in terms of control of flags, testing for specific messages, etc. But
c-torture had the advantage that it iterates through a (predefined) list
of options, testing each one individually while gcc.dg ran each test a
single time.
A many years ago parts of the older c-torture framework were revamped to
utilize the gcc.dg framework *but* they kept the ability to run the
tests with a variety of options.
Based on my experience I tend to prefer the torture framework as it
gives coverage across a wider variety of options and that's proven
useful through the years. For this particular test the increase in
coverage is marginal, hence my comment "No objection to it being in
gcc.dg though".
