They may be cross-posted to gcc-bugs@gnu.org if they affect the use of gas with gcc. They should not be reported just to gcc-bugs, since not all of the maintainers read that list. -If you report a bug in GAS, please remember to include: - -A description of exactly what went wrong, and exactly what should have -happened instead. - -The type of machine (VAX, 68020, etc) and operating system (BSD, SunOS, DYNIX, -VMS, etc) GAS was running on. - -The configuration name(s) given to the "configure" script. The -"config.status" file should have this information. - -The options given to GAS at run time. - -The actual input file that caused the problem. - -It is silly to report a bug in GAS without including an input file for GAS. -Don't ask us to generate the file just because you made it from files you -think we have access to. - -1. You might be mistaken. -2. It might take us a lot of time to install things to regenerate that file. -3. We might get a different file from the one you got, and might not see any - bug. - -To save us these delays and uncertainties, always send the input file for the -program that failed. A smaller test case that demonstrates the problem is of -course preferable, but be sure it is a complete input file, and that it really -does demonstrate the problem; but if paring it down would cause large delays -in filing the bug report, don't bother. - -If the input file is very large, and you are on the internet, you may want to -make it available for anonymous FTP instead of mailing it. If you do, include -instructions for FTP'ing it in your bug report. - -If you expect to be contributing a large number of test cases, it would be -helpful if you would look at the test suite included in the release (based on -the Deja Gnu testing framework, available from the usual ftp sites) and write -test cases to fit into that framework. This is certainly not required. +See ../binutils/README for what we need in a bug report. |
