587093 - Augment avm_args to have "uses_bugcompat" functionality

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Virtual Machine, defect)

Description

[Steven Johnson]

For testcases that vary depending on System.bugCompatibility, it would be convenient to be able to flag them as such, so that we can exercise all versions with a single run without having to run multiple entire runs with different -bugcompat arguments. (See https://bug444630.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=465380 for an example.)

Attachment: add uses_bugcompat keyword to avm_args file

patch adds uses_bugcompat (or USES_BUGCOMPAT) keyword

Any avm arguments on the same line will be passed to the multiple runs of the vm:

-Dinterp USES_BUGCOMPAT

will run the vm:

avmshell -Dinterp -bugcompat SWF9
avmshell -Dinterp -bugcompat SWF10
avmshell -Dinterp -bugcompat SWF11

Obviously, you can also use the keyword with nothing else on the line.
