tests.

inadvertently broken something. In some cases, adding randomness can
improve the quality of the test suite, but deterministic tests are
hugely valuable as well.

half-million lines of code. (Which started off as legacy code, and
I'm sure it was in worse shape than GCC's.) Unit testing works there,
and I see any obvious boundary in sight.

because it's generally recognized as the most useful one.
Maybe there are mathematical subcultures in which a different
convention (or no convention) is followed; I haven't spent time in
such cultures. But if it's a "local convention", then it's one for a

justify purchasing some nice build servers by software shops that do a
lot of GCC work. (I won't post the actual bootstrap times out of fear
of being lynched.) This might show up more as people start moving

My apologies to the GCC list: this is my last message on the subject,
since its relationship to GCC is tangential at best.
Yes, J.C., there is: see, for example
