Hello,
While trying to improve my Open64/Gcc-3-3-3 based compiler results on the
gdb-6.8 testsuite, I noticed on gdb.cp/templates.exp that even on
x86/GCC-4.1.x there are still several KFAIL tests dating back to 2003.
In particular, there are issues when setting breakpoints on ctor/dtor.
I thought that the recent support for multiple breakpoints would fix
this, so I am a bit surprised.
They've all got PRs associated with them that explain the problems.
Most of them seem to deal with menus or with the names of the
constructors/destructors; we've mostly fixed breakpoints by line
number.
Could someone give me some updated status in this area: should the tests
be revisited, or is it GDB itself that should be fixed, or GCC?
In general we use kfail only for GDB bugs, not GCC bugs.
