Hmm. While I can see the point that running all of the test in a single process does exercise Guile as a whole more heavily, I suppose I was looking at this more from the perspective of testing accuracy. Running all of the tests in a single process increases the chance that some unrelated action by a previous test might inadvertently break (or just improperly skew) the current test, i.e. it makes it harder to isolate your variables. Such a problem seems like the kind of thing that might take a long time to track down, without providing any useful diagnostics. --=20 Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org; previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 =3D 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 7= 3A4 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
