		       GCC 3.0 Test Suite Notes
			     Pooma 2.3.0

POOMA is a complex expression-template library that will tax the
ability of G++ to deal with templates, an area that has historically
been buggy. In addition, templates have historically taken
inordinately much time and memory at compile-time. With the widespread
prevalence of templates in C++ programs, including the standard
library, testing this area heavily is vitally important.

One of the release criteria for gcc 3.0 is successful compilation of
Pooma 2.3.0.  Compile-time performance is also important.  See 
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.0/criteria.html for more information.

To configure the source code, compile the source code and example
programs, and run the examples, use

1. ./tester.pl <gcc-location-prefix>

   where <g++-location-prefix> specifies which gcc program to use.
   We assume gcc is at <g++-location-prefix>/bin/gcc and the
   associated C++ libraries are located at <g++-location-prefix>/lib.

   Command-line options are documented at the beginning of tester.pl.

2. If unsuccessful, read the resulting log file "tester.log" and fix
   the problem or email it to someone who can diagnose and fix the problem.
