gcc-3.0.1 gcc test suite contains alpha failures
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:38:01 EDT
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
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).
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.
