<p>I read somewhere that fixing the graph register allocator would
be a good project so I thought I'd look into it. I couldn't find
any tickets about it on Trac though so I was poking around for
tests to see what (if anything) was wrong with it.</p>
<p>After I sent that last email I googled around for how to write
ghc unit tests and <a
href="https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-January/003916.html">this</a>
is the only thing I found. Is it not possible to unit test GHC?
If not are there plans/discussions about this? I think it'd help
document the code base if nothing else and it'd be a good way to
get my feet wet.<br>

<pre wrap="">What sort of tests are you looking for in particular? I'm afraid all we
have are regression tests covering the code generator as a whole.
