I think that helps a lot to make sure that zsh works properly. Because the code on zsh changes so quickly, the additional tests help prevent those changes from breaking existing code. Which means folks can spend more time making useful changes. :) Anyways, one of my back burner projects has been to try to get some sort of code coverage information about the zsh tests with something like gcov. I haven't really done much about this yet. (So if this actually interests anyone, please go ahead and do it.) Code coverage would help find code that isn't being tested, which should help point to additional tests that could be written. I would really like to see the zsh project take advantage of more of the automated testing/quality tools (e.g. electric fence, purify, gcov, gprof, etc.) available to help prevent bugs and other problems. -FR. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
