-This is a collection of things that test suites have
-said were "wrong" with GCC--but that I don't agree with.
-
-First, test suites sometimes test for compatibility with
-traditional C. GCC with -traditional is not completely
-compatible with traditional C, and in some ways I think it
-should not be.
-
-* K&R C allowed \x to appear in a string literal (or character
-literal?) even in cases where it is *not* followed by a sequence of
-hex digits. I'm not convinced this is desirable.
-
-* K&R compilers allow comments to cross over an inclusion boundary (i.e.
-started in an include file and ended in the including file).
-I think this would be quite ugly and can't imagine it could
-be needed.
-
-Sometimes tests disagree with GCC's interpretation of the ANSI standard.
-
-* One test claims that this function should return 1.
-
- enum {A, B} foo;
-
- func (enum {B, A} arg)
- {
- return B;
- }
-
-I think it should return 0, because the definition of B that
-applies is the one in func.
-
-* Some tests report failure when the compiler does not produce
-an error message for a certain program.
-
-ANSI C requires a "diagnostic" message for certain kinds of invalid
-programs, but a warning counts as a diagnostic. If GCC produces
-a warning but not an error, that is correct ANSI support.
-When test suites call this "failure", the tests are broken.
