[Tcl/Tk 8.3 upgrade] Testing...



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.
