Re: [RFC] decimal float point patch based on libdecnumber: testcase

[Wu Zhou <woodzltc at cn dot ibm dot com>]

So what is XFAIL intended for?  In my opinion, it is intended for failure, 
but an expected failure.  I guess it can be used for such situation like:
the output is expected, but is not what we want at last.  We might fix 
that at a later time.  

Just my two cents anyway.  Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks
