- Subject: large file tests
Hi !
I would like to add a directory to the test suite called
testsuite/gfortran.large_files
it would have it's own .exp file, which would run the tests only
if the environment variable GFORTRAN_LARGE_FILES is set as
suggested in:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2004-11/msg00237.html
the tests in this directory would be making large temporary
files and such would be painful for those with normal amounts
of memory and disk.
are these names OK ? i kind of want to make sure these type
of things will be acceptable before I create the patch.
at this time one test is available, which was submitted by
Tom Browder:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2004-11/msg00167.html
i justify the need for this by the large number of fortran
users who care about this feature (large files).
