I like the intent. I noticed that almost all of the instances in the -data
files use a consistent convention for the comment:
// Bug NNNNN: ...
My first impulse was to ask that the convention be stated somewhere and
followed uniformly. But it occurs to me it would be nice to have this be
more formal than a comment convention. How about instead of:
// Bug NNNNN: explanatory comment
xfail-foo ...
we make it:
// explanatory comment
xfail {NNNNN} foo ...
This makes it completely explicit that you can't have an XFAIL without
having a bug filed for it. It also makes it marginally easier than a
comment convention to have scripts that do something or other with the bug
number.
Thanks,
Roland
