But they're not in the tree now, today. Other gcc developers who run
a full bootstrap tomorrow might rebreak your case and never know it.
Why not prevent that in the first place and save yourself a headache
later?
If the case could *only* be reproduced in Ada, that's one thing. If
it can be reproduced in both, I see no reason not to include a C
testcase.
If truly any use of builtin longjmp would fail, then how long would it
take to write and checkin the testcase? Minutes?
