> [Discussion of test suite] > And what about 2 stage bootstrap It's the "bootstrap" entry of the OCaml Makefile, and we've been doing this for years. (We compare executables and gcc compares object files, but that doesn't make any significant differences.) It is a good test, but by no means a complete test suite. In particular, it tests correct source code, while the hardest thing to test in a type-checker and compiler are the error cases (like the initial bug report that triggered this discussion, where source code that should have been rejected was not). - Xavier Leroy ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
