- Subject: Questions on Bug Reporting
As I get more experience working with GCC, there are a two questions on
procedure that I still don't know the answer to:
1) If I find a bug, and figure out how to fix it right away, is it
better to file a bug report in Bugzilla, or just post the patch to
gcc-patches without opening a PR?
2) There are a whole lot of testsuite failures for the target I am
primarily interested in, Windows. After investigating a failure, should
I file a bug report for it? Should I submit patches to mark the PR as
XFAIL if I don't immediately have a fix for it?
Thanks,
