integrate testsuite
There should be some testsuite (possibly a more or less simple check
target) to be able to easily verify before a release (and actually before committing/merging any new further changes) that everything works as expected.
Every closed issue that is related to use of cobcd
can be integrated very easily (just add a common and possibly some specific COBOL sources, then execute the cobcd in the source tree with different command lines and see if there's any error), similar the use of cobcd-rw
; other checks would need a different target, I suggest to use the same as GC checkmanual
for a semi-manual testsuite that runs cobcd, then says "you should be able to do X in GDB" and start it afterwards.
Maybe that's also something @mheyman or @jklowden could help with?
The reasoning here is to "commit and update with confidence" (and ensure that issues already solved don't come back).
