It passes on amd64 and powerpc. Amd64 has in the readelf output of libpr9676-4a.so the following line:
52: 0000000000000650 6 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 12 foo
(and similarly powerpc) which is tested for by (and matches) the
following regular expression:
+[0-9]+: +[0-9a-f]+ +[0-9a-f]+ +FUNC +LOCAL +DEFAULT +[0-9]+ +_?foo that is in pr9676.rd.But the output of readelf of libpr9676-4a.so on Alpha contains the following:
45: 00000000000007c0 8 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT [<other>: 80] 11 foo
That is, it contains an extra "[<other>: 80]" which does not match the regular expression in the test.
So my question is, what is this "[<other>: 80]"? Does it matter? Is this failure a false report?
Cheers Michael.
