Dear all, I am a member of OCaml's developement team. More specifically, I am working on a test-driver for the OCaml compiler, which will be part of OCaml's 4.06 release.
I am currently writing an article to describe the tool and its principles. In this article, I would like to also talk about how other compilers' testsuites are driven and loking how things are done in Rust seemed natural to me. In OCaml, our testsuite essentially consist in whole programs that we compile and run, checking that the compilation and execution results match the expected ones. I tried to understand how tests are run for the Rust compiler but was not able to get an overall picture. It seems there are special comments to declare expected errors, for instance, but how do you deal, for instance, with conditional tests that should be executed only on one platform? Any comment / hint on this aspect of the test harness' design would be really helpful. Many thanks in advance, Sébastien. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
