Right. Already a while ago, I had run into the same (for a lexer-level thing), and have early-stages WIP changes to implement dumps for the several GCC/Rust front end stages using the (more or less) standard '-fdump-lang-[...]' flag. These dump files may then be scanned using the usual GCC/DejaGnu testsuite idioms. I plan to complete that work at some later point in time, hopefully not too far out. (Mark, I then actually had planned to add some testcases fore your recent lexer changes.) (My work there is independent of/orthogonal to the S-expression dump format discussed elsewhere.)
