So it's fine to dump any code to the test suite no matter on what platform it might break or work? I.e. it is sufficient that it runs on at least one platform that complies to the C standard (for C test case)? Are there really no policies for test case that they behave reasonably? If, for example, there were hundreds of testcases in the test suites that break if sizeof(void) != 2 adding to the fun working with your platform: What would you think? Johann
