Yes, but the tests can change at any point in time and might not reflect the code stored in the repository. Could a note at least be provided, or a port maintained to help others (say vendors) who have to qualify FreeBSD that this is the particular version that needs to be picked up from <blah> in order to test our shiny new compiler? That would make things considerably easier to work with, as I've worked as QA in a Linux shop in the past, where a lot of Linux provided packages that we had in the tree did not have the associated test code, and as QA that made my job a pain to deal with. Just a small file that stated where and/or how to obtain things would make this a lot easier. I would think that developers would also like the same to see whether or not there are any particular known issues with clang/llvm.
