Thanks!  Note you'll need to configure gdb with --enable-build-with-cxx
in order to make it build with a C++ compiler.

I suspect that nobody is really actively paying attention to Windows bugs
in bugzilla... :-/

That said, this sounds like a demangler testsuite issue.  GDB is not involved.

Iain, this is:

./test-demangle < ../../../gdb-7.10/libiberty/testsuite/d-demangle-expected
FAIL at line 750, options --format=dlang:
in:  _D8demangle23__T4testVfe0FFFFFFP128Zv
out: demangle.test!(3.40282e+038)
exp: demangle.test!(3.40282e+38)
FAIL at line 758, options --format=dlang:

exp: demangle.test!(1.17549e-38)
E:\MINGW-packages\mingw-w64-gdb\src\build-i686-w64-mingw32\libiberty\testsuite\test-demangle.exe: 266 tests, 2 failures

It just looks like msvcrt.dll's printf prints using an
unexpected format?  Maybe building the test program with
__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO defined fixes it.  Could you try that?

Thanks,
Pedro Alves
