Sorry for late response.
This regression test is supposed (by its creator) to fail at runtime because of a detection of a division by zero. If the executable does not detect the division by zero, the regression test is reported to fail. AFAICT this is not a failure of the executable on IBM, this is just a property of the executable.
This test is intended to check that testing framework do what it supposed to do - in this case catch division by zero. This test failure mean that a compiler does not support this feature.
1) Or regression tests are not used anymore to test *properties* of the platform/compiler/exe 2) Or I include the pragma only for this regression test just for the sake of passing the test.
I definitly prefer option 1 because I consider option 2 as a cheat.

I could add pragma just to show the way how to make test system to work fir this compiler. Though I am not sure it would bring too much value - after all it's users code that needs to include this pragma. Is there any way to manage this with command-line args? Gennadiy.
