The libstdc++ ABI testsuite does not work when testing an installed compiler because:
* abi.exp checks for "../src/.libs/libstdc++.so", which of course is not available with an installed compiler. * abi.exp requires baseline_file to be set in site.exp; with installed compiler testing, site.exp is generally created to set generic variables such as CC and CXX being the compilers to test, but not libstdc++-specific ones such as baseline_file. The testsuite should be arranged so that it can find the libstdc++ being used by an installed toolchain, and the logic to find the baseline file should be implemented within the testsuite. It would probably then no longer be necessary to restrict the ABI testing to native compilers only. Mark has asked for this PR to be assigned to him. -- Summary: libstdc++ ABI testsuite should work for installed compiler testing Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: testsuite AssignedTo: mark at codesourcery dot com ReportedBy: jsm28 at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23867
