Description Christopher Holmes 2002-03-01 19:44:13 UTC
Description of Problem:

	gcc-3.0.1 gcc test suite contains alpha failures

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

	gcc3-3.0.1-5.src.rpm

How Reproducible:

	always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. rpm -i gcc3-3.0.1-5.src.rpm
2. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
3. rpm -ba gcc3.spec
4. cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/gcc-3.0.1-20011002/obj-alpha-redhat-linux
5. make -k check
6. compare ./gcc/testsuite/gcc.{sum,log} with one produced on an Intel machine

Actual Results:

gcc.sum on alpha:
	# of expected passes		15328
	# of unexpected failures	7
	# of expected failures		80
	# of unresolved testcases	6
	# of unsupported tests		53
gcc.sum on intel:
	# of expected passes		15369
	# of unexpected successes	3
	# of expected failures		79
	# of unsupported tests		22

Expected Results:

Alpha results that match Intel results

Additional Information:
	alpha tests run on ES40

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2002-03-04 10:47:08 UTC
This compiler was included as a technology preview, at least I never understood
this as something we'd fully support.
There is an errata ongoing for gcc3-3.0.4-1, but the unsupported status is not
changed at all for it (at least on Intel, dunno about Alpha).

Comment 2 Beth Uptagrafft 2002-04-24 18:21:04 UTC
gcc-3.0.1 was provided as a technology preview and is not supported.  Besides, 
there are 7 gcc failures compared to 3 on intel. 6 of the 7 gcc failures are a 
single test case (gcc.c-torture/execute/20010403-1.c),with 6 different options. 
Given there are only 2 true failures, this is inline with intel.
