17 ---------------------------------------------
19 Read the mcs/docs/compiler.txt for an overview of the compiler.
24 You might want to use the `make btest' in this directory to
25 have the compiler bootstrap itself, this is the basic regression
28 Before commiting changes to MCS, make sure that all the tests
29 in `mcs/tests' pass, and all the tests in 'mcs/errors' have the
30 expected result, type:
32 cd mcs # The top-level 'mcs' directory
35 If you want to test the installed compiler, you can run:
37 cd mcs # The top-level 'mcs' directory
38 make test-installed-compiler
43 To finally ensure the state of the compiler, it is ideal to do
44 a full bootstrap, to do this, do:
51 That installs the compiler and assemblies compiled by the new compiler.
53 Then, repeat that step again:
58 If things work, the compiler has not added a new regression
59 while building the mscorlib and the compiler itself.
64 When bugs are fixed, new tests must be added to the
65 `mcs/tests' directory to excercise the problem and to guarantee
66 that we keep the compiler in a good state.
68 When an error is reported, it should be added to mcs/errors.
70 We try to make the errors numbers be the same as the ones in
71 Microsoft C#, if this is not possible, allocate a negative error
72 number, and list it in mcs/errors/errors.txt
