*Certainly* people should use discretion. And I agree we should be
more cautious about testcases for new files or where the tested code
changes, as opposed to new testsuite infrastructure and dg- control
patches. By far, most of the testcase backporting I was referring to
would be along the lines of updating the dg- commands in existing
tests to take advantage of better infrastructure support.
Now case in point: we're already diverging between mainline and 4.1.
These two infrastructure patches were applied on mainline and not
backported to 4.1, let alone 4.0:
2005-12-06 Janis Johnson <janis187@us.ibm.com>
* lib/gcc-dg.exp (cleanup-dump): Remove options from test name.
2005-12-01 Uros Bizjak <uros@kss-loka.si>
* lib/gcov.exp (clean-gcov): Also remove $base.h.gcov files.
These might even be applicable all the way back to 3.4. Certainly the
latter one is.
Janis, would you like to take care of these?
