624404 - Need test suite for exactgc.as and tracer macros

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Garbage Collection (mmGC), defect, P2)

Description

[Lars T Hansen]

There are macros / facilities that are not currently used but which were included for completeness (eg, the full _IF/_IFDEF/_IFNDEF set of macros).  It would be good to have at least a basic smoke test for the facilities provided by exactgc.as, since it won't be fully tested by running on the code (certainly not the shell code).

Attachment: Simple test case

This is a header file that sits in core/.  It is processed by the generator script and tracers are emitted into the standard place; the output can be visually inspected for correctness.  There is an #ifdef wrapping the contents of the file so that the contents are inert during compilation.

Right now I only have a test in here for the preprocessor sniffer, since that's a facility that's new.  We can expand that.

It would actually be useful for the contents of the file /not/ to be inert during compilation, because that way we could check for bugs in #ifdef handling more easily: same-name fields should only be present once; and fields should be referencable (from inline functions, say).  Something to think about for a second pass.
