gcc/testsuite/README

+This is a collection of tests for the C and C++ frontends of EGCS. For
+further information please check README.gcc and README.g++, though the
+latter may not be up-to-date any more.
+
+The driver that runs this testsuite is called DejaGnu and you will
+need a current DejaGnu snapshot, which is available from
+ftp://egcs.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure, for example.
+
+Most of these tests were originally developed and/or collected by
+Cygnus Support, but these days many are being added by the EGCS
+developers.
+
+These tests are included "as is". If any of them fails, do not report
+a bug.  Bug reports for DejaGnu can go to bug-dejagnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
+Discussion and comments about this testsuite should be sent to
+egcs@cygnus.com; additions and changes to should go to sent to
+egcs-patches@cygnus.com.
+
+The entire testsuite is invoked by `make check` at the top level of
+the EGCS tree. `make check-g++` runs the C++ testsuite only.
+
+

-  This is a collection of tests for g++, the FSF's C++ compiler. The

-DejaGnu yet, you will need to get it (ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/dejagnu).

-  Since these are part of the development source tree at Cygnus, this
-tar file is supposed to be untarred so that the testsuite directory is
-in the gcc source tree. Most of the time DejaGnu is run by hand using
-"runtest", but as we believe in solid testing, we've integrated it
-into the Makefile as a target. We normally use the testsuite by doing
-a "make all; make check-g++" at the top level and building and testing
-our whole tree.  If you have both the gcc testsuite and the g++
-testsuite, you can check both with the "make check" command.
-
-  DejaGnu can be run either installed, or uninstalled. Usually it gets
-installed so that anyone can just run the tests without having to
-configure or build DejaGnu.
