I would say both of these are non-superficial tests, since they both exercise major parts of the functionality (code generation, linking?, I/O functions, simulation etc) rather than just superficial things like options processing etc. Obviously if you can come up with more tests to exercise a larger variety of functionality, that would be good. BTW, is qemu-system-sh4 not suitable for running the output of gcc-sh-el? Also, yabause is an emulator for the Sega Saturn, which was a games console based on SuperH SH-2. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
