Re: [patch] Make vector::at() assertion message more useful (try #2)

There are a lot of targets using unsigned int for size_t, which would

We can't test all patches on 3-4 different targets... It wasn't obvious this patch could be that sensitive to the target.

That's true, just remember to test *both* -m32 and -m64, for non trivial changes.

So how do you do that in practiceÂ? Is it done by default if multilib is enabled? You also mentioned doing something special to check debug/profile modes recently, is there a make target to really perform all the tests necessary for a submission?

http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html has an outdated section on testing. It mentions that you should do a bootstrap for a change to the C front-end (should also be for the C++ front-end and I guess libstdc++ even if it isn't used much inside gcc).
