-# This script checks that the compilers emit the errors which we expect.
-# Usage: errchk COMPILER [OPTS] SOURCEFILES.  This will run the command
-# COMPILER [OPTS] SOURCEFILES.  The compilation is expected to fail; if
-# it succeeds, this script will report an error.  The stderr output of
-# the compiler will be matched against comments in SOURCEFILES.  For each
-# line of the source files which should generate an error, there should
-# be a comment of the form // ERROR "regexp".  If the compiler generates
-# an error for a line which has no such comment, this script will report
-# an error.  Likewise if the compiler does not generate an error for a
-# line which has a comment, or if the error message does not match the
-# <regexp>.  The <regexp> syntax is Perl but its best to stick to egrep.
