That's because of its uncertain copyright status. It's a collection of
everything that went wrong in the past, from a wide variety of sources.
Understood.
As to its format, it is designed to be run by a shell script. Each
source file is expected to compile and run without error, error means
terminating with an exception or a non-zero return from main().
Awesome! I'll add this to wiki4d. Might I also suggest adding it to some
reasonable location on digitalmars.com and bugzilla?
What do you do about examples that should explicitly not compile? For
example, a test for the fix to an accepts-invalid bug? Do you have to
use tricks with __traits(compiles) and static assert (!is (typeof))?
