Yeah , yeah..<br>
Maybe people was not aware that tests are running for couple of months now.<br>
<br>
But my question if we need something in addition.<br>
For instance, threaded FFI. How to test if it there, and if it is, how<br>
to test that it works ok?<br>
Apparently standard FFI test are not covering new threading capabilities of VM.<br>

<br>
Is it possible to expose what a VM supports? Actually, mirrors here would be great - you could ask the mirror what plugins it supports, what special features it provides (immutability, tail call optimisation, ...).<br></blockquote>

In Pharo there is:<br>
<br>
Tests-VM<br>
BecomeTest<br>
IslandVMTweaksTestCase<br>
Tests-Finalization<br>
ObjectFinalizerTest<br>
Tests-ObjectsAsMethods<br>
TestObjectsAsMethods<br>
<br>
.. and they are run every day at least once (in 1.2, 1.3 and before 1.2 was stable even 1.1) since a couple of months.<br>
<br>
