-This is a collection of tests for the C and C++ frontends of GCC. For
-further information please check README.gcc and README.g++, though the
-latter may not be up-to-date any more.
+This is a collection of tests for GCC. For further information about
+the C testsuite, see README.gcc.
The driver that runs this testsuite is called DejaGnu and you will
need a current DejaGnu snapshot, which is available from
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure, for example.
-Most of these tests were originally developed and/or collected by
-Cygnus Solutions, but these days many are being added by the GCC
-developers.
-
These tests are included "as is". If any of them fails, do not report
-a bug. Bug reports for DejaGnu can go to bug-dejagnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
+a bug. Bug reports for DejaGnu can go to bug-dejagnu@gnu.org.
Discussion and comments about this testsuite should be sent to
gcc@gcc.gnu.org; additions and changes to should go to sent to
gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org.
The entire testsuite is invoked by `make check` at the top level of
the GCC tree. `make check-g++` runs the C++ testsuite only.
+STRUCTURE OF THE G++ TESTSUITE
+
+ g++.dg tests:
-STRUCTURE OF THE TESTSUITE
+ All new tests should be placed in an appropriate subdirectory of g++.dg.
-Almost all C++ tests reside in subdirectories of g++.old-deja, based on
-the following structure:
+ g++.old-deja tests:
g++.benjamin Tests by Benjamin Koz
g++.bob
g++.rfg
g++.robertl Tests from gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org, gathered by Robert Lipe
-g++.old-deja uses a fixed driver for all g++ tests based on the old
-DejaGnu drivers. But just because its old, doesn't mean its redundant!
-Tests that want to use the normal dg.exp driver can be put in g++.dg instead.
-This may be required for platform-specific tests, or tests with other
-special requirements.

Finally, some random last minute notes by Mike Stump <mrs@cygnus.com>, on
how to run tests (in the GCC 2.7 era):
