Sending patches inline rather than as attachments is the preferred way for
gcc-patches, you can always grab it from the gcc-patches ml archive:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-11/msg02557.html
(then click on Raw text).

I'm attaching the diff for asan_test.cc from llvm anyway.

The test isn't disabled, just by default limited to 30 threads instead of
1000, because that really will ruin testing for everybody with ulimit -u
in 1024-ish range.  Even 500 threads would be undesirable for that.

I'd prefer delay committing the patch over causing random testsuite failures
elsewhere.

Got it, thanks.

Which is the same as disabling it.
Unfortunately, we don't have a good automated way to test asan performance,
so this test is guarding us from performance degradation in the asan's
pthread wrappers.
If there is a bug there, we may not notice it on 30 threads, but may
(with a high probability)
on 1000 threads.

Anyway, does http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=169118&view=rev
solve the problem?
It adds ASAN_AVOID_EXPENSIVE_TESTS and checks the results of all
pthread_{create,join} calls in tests.

I understand that, that is why the test by default, when not run as part of
dejagnu, or even in dejagnu when requested expensive tests, runs 1000
threads instead of 30.

Yes, thanks.  So, is the patch ok to commit to GCC with the imported tests remerged
from upstream (or do I need to repost the patch for that)?

Yes, ok to commit. Thanks!
