Finding regressions might be easier if there are tests for the Macro Assembler. I am currently experiencing a crash in the MIPS JIT for the most basic JavaScript (3+3) indicating something very basic must be broken. Having very simple tests for the MacroAssembler might help developers to indentify such issues easier. When looking at JSC in the Mozilla copy I found a very basic test[1] and GNU lightning has tests that could be used as inspiration as well[2].
WebKit didn't pick a UnitTest framework yet, but do you think the idea of tests for MacroAssembler is a good idea?
