Re: Validating a C++ back-end

[Vasanth <geekvasanth at gmail dot com>]

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for the inputs. Can you tell me if there is a set of tests in
the G++ testsuite for verifying just my implementation of basic
machine dependent C++ hooks? To give examples - verify global
constructor/destructors being invoked correctly, init_priority,
thunks,  Vtable stuff etc. Can I just take all those "dg-do run" tests
and run them on my target?

I am just looking for basic testing since I am only in the initial
stages, before I go onto those full blown conformance tests.

thanks for the clarifications so far,
Vasanth
