Hi,
The other source of noise in RTEMS test results
are the profiling tests. Again the latest
powerpc-rtems results:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2008-12/msg01477.html
A typical noise entry is:
FAIL: gcc.dg/matrix/transpose-6.c compilation, -fprofile-generate -O3
UNRESOLVED: gcc.dg/matrix/transpose-6.c execution, -fprofile-generate -O3
UNRESOLVED: gcc.dg/matrix/transpose-6.c compilation, -fprofile-use
-fipa-matrix-reorg -fdump-ipa-matrix-reorg -O3 -fwhole-program -combine
UNRESOLVED: gcc.dg/matrix/transpose-6.c execution, -fprofile-use
-fipa-matrix-reorg -fdump-ipa-matrix-reorg -O3 -fwhole-program -combine
So generally saying profiling isn't going to
work on this target would eliminate a bunch of
noise.
My goal is to get results that accurately reflect
the target so I can then begin to focus more on the
real failures.
This is specific to the GCC testsuite, which already has the support
you need. Add your target(s) to check_profiling_available in
gcc/lib/target-supports.exp.
