Hi,
I tried to run 02/13/09 code on Ubuntu 8.10/Intel two core CPU and face a few
errors.
1. how do I specifically test WREC/JIT? I just want to run a specific code file
so I can trace if sth wrong. I can run GtkLauncher or jsc.
2. on architecture level how WREC/JIT are used in webkit? how could I know the
calling sequence? I can run some test but how do I know whether WREC/JIT are
called? what's the running flow of WREC/JIT?
3. when I run_javascriptcore_tests the error is:
shell.js -f ./js1_6/String/regress-306591.js
-#- Wrote results to 'actual.html'.
** Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! The following failures have been introduced:
ecma/Date/15.9.5.31-1.js
#hour diff 1
ecma/Date/15.9.5.35-1.js
ecma_3/Date/15.9.5.6.js
You fixed the following test:
ecma_3/Date/15.9.5.7.js
3 regressions found.
1 test fixed.
Errors include time difference of 1 hour (time zone wrong?) or unexpected NaN.
4. when I run-webkit-tests:
...
3907 test cases (96%) succeeded
106 test cases (2%) had incorrect layout
35 test cases (<1%) were new
1 test case (<1%) timed out
9 test cases (<1%) crashed
138 test cases (3%) had stderr output
May be some errors are normal but how do I identify them?
