Each patch should produce a working compiler (it did when it was originally written), though since the patch set has been re-ordered slightly there is a possibility that some of the intermediate steps may have missing test updates that are only cleaned up later. However, only the end of the series should be considered complete. I've kept the patch as a series to permit easier regression hunting should that prove necessary.
Thanks for this information: my validation system was designed in such a way that it will run the GCC testsuite after each of your patches, so I'll keep in mind not to report regressions (I've noticed several already). I can perform a manual validation taking your 29 patches as a single one and compare the results with those of the revision preceding the one were you committed patch #1. Do you think it would be useful? Christophe
