No, the autotester does not run them _before_ a merge is done. It runs them _after_. So, it's quite good at telling you whether the code in master repositories for dmd, druntime, and Phobos is currently broken, but it doesn't tell you whether the code in _pull requests_ is broken, which appears to be what Walter is looking for. Daniel Murphy's autotester does that, but not the primary one - not unless you've changed something that I don't know about. - Jonathan M Davis _______________________________________________ dmd-internals mailing list dmd-internals@puremagic.com http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-internals
