This directory contains scripts that are used for identifying the patch that introduced a regression. General information about such searches is covered in http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/reghunt.html. reg_search searches for a small time interval within a range of dates in which results for a test changed, using a binary search. The functionality for getting sources, building the component to test, and running the test are in other scripts that are run from here. reg_periodic invokes separate tools (the same scripts invoked by reg_search) over a range of dates at specified intervals. reg_test_template shows the format for the script that runs a test and determines whether to continue the search with a later or earlier date.
