I have more questions for Alina. What kind of tests do you
have:<br class="">
<br class="">
- "the compiler takes the bitcode and generates code
without crashing"<br class="">
- "the compiled test runs without crashing"<br class="">
- "the compiled test will produce an output that be
checked against a reference"<br class="">
- "the compiled test is meaningful as a benchmarks"<br class="">

<div class="">We have all 4 kinds of tests in Halide. The bitcode
files for the first category is already available and I'm
working on building the ones for the next 3. We'd like to
include all incrementally.</div>

It seems to me that the first category ("the compiler takes the
bitcode and generates code without crashing") are tests that should
be added to the "make check-all" tests in the LLVM subproject,
rather than the test-suite subproject?<br class="">
Or if these tests currently don't crash the compiler anymore, the
bugs must have been fixed, and there should already be equivalent
tests?<br class="">
