Hi Stefan,
CEDET has an extensive test suite, but most of it hasn't been merged
into Emacs' tests. I suspect the easiest way for you to get some good
coverage is to pull CEDET from the sourceforge repository, build it
using your development version of Emacs, and then do:
make utest-batch
and when that works
make itest-batch
The unit tests were failing for me with Emacs 25 a couple months back
and I fixed a bunch of issues to make it work with some of the planned
changes to eieio. I'm not sure where it stands today as I haven't had
time to mess with it recently.
The tests include all the tools that use eieio, and exercise a wide
range of features from Semantic's completion to the SRecode insertion
macros. If you pass these tests, I'd have high confidence your eieio
changes are in good shape.
The unit tests usually only take a minute or so, but the interactive
tests can take several minutes. The tests require you have many
external tools installed which I assume you do, such as make, automake,
gcc, and a few other things.
Eric
