Test scripts must ignore the compiler messages "path prefix never used"
and "linker input file unused". Don't let their appearance cause a testcase
to fail. See lib/dg.exp for the exact regsub to use.
If you're unclear about which directory a testcase should be installed in,
ask gcc-local.

-Always use abort() for runtime failures, and exit(0) for success.
-The testing harness is set up to watch for these and do something appropriate
-(when necessary) for target boards.
-\f
Have the text of a fail message be the same as that for pass.
IE: have
This lets test-tool (which drives the nightly tests) do a better job
at tracking which tests have digressed or been fixed.

+The "torture" tests are meant to be generic tests that can run on any
+target. So you have to be careful about endianness, assumptions about
+sizes of datatypes, etc etc.
+
+For tests that merely need to compile, put them in the "compile" directory.
+
+For tests which should give an error, put them in the "noncompile" directory
+and update noncompile.exp appropriately (see examples in noncompile.exp).
+
+For IEEE FP specific tests, put them in execute/ieee.
+
+For execution tests, put them in execute.
+
+Always use abort() for runtime failures, and exit(0) for success.
+The testing harness is set up to watch for these and do something appropriate
+(when necessary) for target boards.
+
+If a test does not fit into the torture framework, use the dg framework.
