Anyone using contrib/regression/btest-gcc.sh besides me? It has, besides a copyright update, not seen love and attention in a decade. Also, the original author and maintainer hasn't been visibly active with gcc. I've contributed the other trivial, non-date changes since 2009 and some others before that, and I use it regularly both in my autotester and any per-target patch testing.
Thus, I volunteer to pick it up. I intend to keep functional compatibility. Besides adding .sum file with optional presence as has been done in the past, new functionality, as well as changes in functionality, will be optional and default off, where reasonable alternative use could otherwise break and/or have different results. For example, I won't add an almost trivial LC_ALL=C to unify results and avoid the problem with different LC_ALL and trying to pass state between systems. One such breaking setup is running btest-gcc.sh with LC_ALL=C on one system and using the resulting state in a run with LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 on the other. This will break at the calls to "comm" after "sort" between previous and current collections of passing tests due to "g++" and "gcc" collating differently, a wart I've discovered twice (and wrongly worked around once). Changing that would obviously break *some* setups. This problem also doesn't need a fix in btest-gcc.sh, it's trivially handled by changing its usage to e.g. "env LC_ALL=C /path/to/btest-gcc.sh ...". That's not a big deal if you like me call btest-gcc.sh in *another* script. With this mostly trivial patchset, leading up to optional handling of XPASS, I'm sort-of testing the waters. I knew about XPASS being currently ignored, just didn't care enough about that as I also diff the test-logs for my manual testing. The biggest problem was then that each run can't be done in parallel.
