while working on issue 15235 I've been trying to add some new tests for DMD.
The tests I want to write involve checking that certain asm statements throw
syntax errors instead of segfaults, but the fact that asmerr() ends compilation
unconditionally is proving to be a problem. __traits(compiles, …) doesn't help
(as discovered in issue 15257).
The only solution I can think of would be to have a separate test for each
statement. Anyone got a better idea?
The usual technique in the D test suite is to pipe the output to a file, and
then diff against what it should be. Yes, you wind up with about one test file
per error message.
