Is it possible to change the keyword descriptions?
I would like:
xfail - "Obsolete - Don't use this"
ice-on-invalid-code - "Obsolete - Don't use this"
ice-on-valid-code "Internal compiler error (assert failure,
segfault, or stack overflow)"
The reason being, that in almost all case, invalid code is valid is
some context, so there's really no difference between ice-on-valid and
ice-on-invalid, and people get confused about which one to use.
(ideally, change all ice-on-invalid to ice-on-valid, remove
ice-on-invalid completely, and rename ice-on-valid as simply "ice" --
but simply changing the description would be an improvement).
xfail comes from dstress and has never been used.
Extra keywords that could be added:
inliner bug appears only if -inline is used
optimizer bug appears only with -O
line-number error message with incorrect or missing line number
parser bug occurs in lexing or parsing step
64bit bug shows different behavior on 64bit vs 32bit
