Well, there are larger tests, in that the normal test suite passes with VM-compiled code (e.g. ice-9 and all that). However the normal test suite code is interpreted always -- we need to figure out how to run it with the interpreter and the evaluator. And there are smaller tests, which test that VM compilation and execution produces the same result as interpretation. But there are no unit tests of the compiler itself. Also, these particular tests are not yet integrated with the main test suite. Benchmark-wise, there's not much. I am not currently running many benchmarks, fwiw -- been focusing more on correctness. So yes, there's still some work to be done. Andy --=20 http://wingolog.org/
