Yes, but that requires domain-expert knowledge, which, as I wrote in an earlier email, I want
to keep my hands out of. Other people are welcome to contribute, and I`ll be happy to _help_
them if my help will be needed, but I`m not volunteering to make my entire work-life all about
reading the source code for each test in LLVM`s test-suite that has a large amount of output.
I think I might get fired if I did that without mgmt. approval, and I think the probability of
my boss approving me working on that and only that for the next 6 months or so is -- to quote
my favorite author of fiction -- "as near to nothing as makes no odds".
FYI for all reading this: I humbly request that contributions along the lines of the above wait
until Sebastian and I have sufficiently improved the test-suite that it is well-stabilized
again. We have some large changes in the works, and if accepted then there will be large
improvements in the way the non-legacy harness works.
Sincerely,
Abe
