I tried to make use of check-function-bodies for cris-elf and was a
bit surprised to see it failing.  There's a deliberate empty line
after the filled delay slot of the return-function which was
mishandled.  I thought "aha" and tried to add an empty line
(containing just a "**" prefix) to the match, but that didn't help.
While it was added as input from the function's assembly output
to-be-matched like any other line, it couldn't be matched: I had to
use "...", which works but is...distracting.

Some digging shows that an empty assembly line can't be deliberately
matched because all matcher lines (lines starting with the prefix,
the ubiquitous "**") are canonicalized by trimming leading
whitespace (the "string trim" in check-function-bodies) and instead
adding a leading TAB character, thus empty lines end up containing
just a TAB.  For usability it's better to treat empty lines as fluff
than to uglifying the test-case and the code to properly match them.
Double-checking, no test-case tries to match an line containing just
TAB (by providing an a line containing just "**\s*", i.e. zero or
more whitespace characters).

	* lib/scanasm.exp (parse_function_bodies): Set fluff to include
	empty lines (besides optionally leading whitespace).

History
This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

The GNU Compiler Collection is free software.  See the files whose
names start with COPYING for copying permission.  The manuals, and
some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.

The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text.  The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi.  The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.

See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information.  An online readable
version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully.

Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range
notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range,
inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed
individually.
