[Lightning] Re: Update on testcase [was: sse instructions and gcc warnings]

[Paulo César Pereira de Andrade]

[snip]

  This test case version may be a bit harder to compile as now it
depends on binutils devel, as I added a stripped down version of
the dissassembler I wrote for my language/virtual machine (initially
based on the GNU Smalltalk one).

  The new test attempts to detect stack corruption, and when finding
unexpected results, disassembles an as localized as it can figure
block of code, but it may be just disassembling the side effects,
that is, past the problem...

  It is also not passing doubles (and unsigned longs) by value, but
using pointers and static storage. Just to avoid the risk of getting
the stack corrupted (later another test case can be written to test
consistency on function arguments).

  Based on output, the failures in i686 should be only one, related
to load/store of single byte with certain jit registers. And the
failures on x86_64 should be only sign extension when loading a
negative 8/16/32 bit integer and storing in a 64 bit one.

  The test case is basically about memory load/store, so, major
missing features are check of usage of multiple floating point
registers and check of moving data from register to register.
