Hello Is there a set of regression test for Inferno ? Compiling it by different compiler for different platforms without a test suite can produce long-lived bugs. I have tried to compile Inferno for openmoko (ARM/Linux) using gcc-4.3 and found a few bugs there, although Inferno and most of applications can start on that platform. For example, conversion between int and big types (as well as '%b' in sys->sprint) does not work correctly because GCC assume stack is 8 byte aligned, registers used by jitted code are not saved in stack so jit does not work at all, etc I guess there are a lot of bugs remainded and some test suite may help to find them.
