>Description:
The current testing framework already knows about tests
that are meant to fail. In order to fully test regressions,
it would be desirable to compare the output of a meant to
fail test case with a known to be correct entry and make
sure that the compiler fails in an identical way.
I've sometimes seen gcj regressing on the way it reports
errors -- it's not something desirable.
