PRELIMINARY!

Testing the library and the compiler

• Create a distribution archive: make dist.
• Move the archive to a test directory.
• Install the distribution sources while following the install guidelines -- this debugs the guidelines.
• Build both larceny and bdwlarceny without optimization and with assertions enabled (i.e., comment out -DNDEBUG -O3 in Rts/Makefile).
• Build the heap image using the bootstrap system.
• Compile the library test suite.
• Run the library test suite both compiled and interpreted.
• Do make libclean, start the development environment in larceny, and rebuild the heap. Exit.
• Restart the development environment in larceny, and compile the library test suite.
• Exit, restart larceny, and run the self-compiled library test suite both interpreted and compiled.
• Exit, restart the development environment in larceny, and compile the development environment.
• Exit, make libclean, restart the development environment in larceny (this time compiled), and rebuild the heap.
• Exit, restart. From within larceny, do a make faslclean and then rebuild the development environment.
