Re: Patch for gcc.dg/tree-ssa/loop-1.c test case on IA64.

as in:

/* { dg-final {scan-assembler times "foo" 5 { target not_hppa_or_ia64 } } } */.

Setting up a special effective-target keyword sounds like a lot of work
for one test.  How about the following?

/* { dg-final {scan-assembler times "foo" 5 { xfail hppa-*-* ia64-*-* } } } */
/* { dg-final {scan-assembler-times "foo,%r" 5 { target hppa-*-* } } }      */
/* { dg-final {scan-assembler-times "= foo" 5 { target ia64-*-* } } }       */

Is the listing of two triplet patterns in the xfail considered kosher?
I found a few examples of it in other tests.

That would work, but it would be confusing, as it would not seem that there's some test in this file which is failing on PA and IA64, when that's not really true. You could mitigate that with a comment, but I'd prefer that we not abuse XFAIL in this way.


I know this stuff is a hassle.
