Subject: [Caml-list] Use of unit testing frameworks in OCaml
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 14:35:18 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55F09806.1030507@nmt.edu> (raw)

 From what I can tell, the tests for the OCaml compiler and standard 
libraries are all done with a fairly small framework designed 
specifically for testing the compiler and standard libraries. Is there 
any particular reason not to use a tool such as OUnit or Broken for 
these tests? I am aware that adding dependencies to the compiler is 
generally frowned upon, but these libraries could significantly improve 
the maintainability of the core language and libraries.
