The patch here is clearly wrong. If you don't like the warnings, you should work out why they are being output and fix the underlying bug, rather than ignoring them in the testsuite. The (spurious?) warning is also present in 4.3.

The patch may be wrong, but so far nobody cared to fix the "underlying bug" or even bothered to explain its origin and how to fix it!-(
This issue is eliminated in Xcode 3.0 of Leopard. I've updated my original radar bug report to ask that the fix be backported to Xcode 2.5 so that it is available on Tiger as well but I wouldn't hold my breath. This issue won't be fixed in the Xcode available for darwin8. It is resolved in Xcode for darwin9. |
Currently the ld64 on Darwin seems to create warnings of the form... can't find atom for N_GSYM stabs i:G(0,2) in /var/tmp//cc6KtMzX.o when compiling Fortran COMMON blocks at -m64 with the -g flag. These warnings incorrectly cause about 38 apparent fortran testsuite failures on Darwin. This problem can be suppressed until the issue causing the warnings (whose cause is currently unknown) is addressed. The following patch (sorry about the unified format) allows these warnings to be pruned and ignored during a -m64 make check. --- gcc-4.2-20060822/gcc/testsuite/lib/prune.exp.org 2006-08-23 18:33:56.000000000 -0400 +++ gcc-4.2-20060822/gcc/testsuite/lib/prune.exp 2006-08-23 18:41:28.000000000 -0400 @@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ regsub -all "(^|\n)\[^\n\]*file path prefix \[^\n\]* never used" $text "" text regsub -all "(^|\n)\[^\n\]*linker input file unused since linking not done" $text "" text + regsub -all "(^|\n)can't find atom for N_GSYM stabs \[^\n\]* in \[^\n\]*" $text "" text #send_user "After:$text\n" return $text With this patch in place the fortran testsuite failures for -m64 are identical to those for -m32 with three unexpected passes. This patch will help remove the "noise" off of the Darwin -m64 test results.
