[sdcc-devel] proposal for regression test changes

[Gabriele G. <go...@ya...>]

currently many tests have per port overrides like:

#if !defined( __SDCC_pdk13) && !defined( __SDCC_pdk14) // Lack of memory
#if !defined(__SDCC_ds390) && !defined(__SDCC_ds390) && !defined(__SDCC_hc08) && !defined(__SDCC_s08) && !defined(__SDCC_mos6502) && !defined(__SDCC_mos65c02) // struct return not yet supported

this is all over the place and it is really difficult to maintain.
i.e. I have implemented struct return for mos6502 but I am still grepping the test suite to enable the relevant tests for the arch.

I am thinking to have each port define its features/limits in testfwk.h 
i.e. memory size, stack size, struct return, struct param, Bitint ...

In this way the tests would be able to check if they should run in a architecture independent way.

Any feedback?

thanks,
GG
