Hi again,
I'm wondering what state the gdbtk test suit is in. I'd really
like to use it to make sure that I don't break anything while
moving over to Tcl/Tk 8.3.
When I do a "make check" on gdb build with the current version of
Tcl/Tk I get a bunch of failures in the gdbtk tests. However if
I do a "make check" on a gdb build with Tcl/Tk 8.3 it doesn't seem
to get any fails on the gdbtk tests. I'm assuming that this is
because it's skipping over them?
There are a number of places that gdbtk should be failing when
build with Tcl/Tk 8.3. One place is the proc escape_value
(in prefs.tcl) which is using a regsub call to match "[]". This
and some other regexp/regsub need changed to work with Tcl/Tk 8.3,
the changes aren't really such a big deal, but I'd be happier to
see them fail in the test suit before I start fixing them.
Comments? ideas? testing tips?
Ian.
