Hello,
I am very curious to know what kind of testing techniques are applied to
machine description files. To be precise, is there any unit-testing environment
when some instructions are added/removed from MD file, or any other testing
technique is applied? Also, when MD file is patched to fix a bug, what kind of
tests are done on it?
I'm very much interested in knowing compiler internals and hence this question.
Thank you.
