Re: [sdcc-devel] m4 macros in sdcc regression testing

[Maarten B. <sou...@ds...>]

Hi Borut,

I found nothing strange in the documentation, some 
typing/spelling mistakes which are not too important.

But have you also changed the dependencies? If I touch a 
test file it no longer gets reevaluated as it was 
before.

And I do wonder why we needed yet another tool for 
running the regression tests.

Greets,
Maarten
