Re: Testing containers outside of ghc source tree

Hi,

...

However, the HEAD testsuite driver is designed to be used with the HEAD, so may need tweaking to work with older compilers. In this case, the -fno-ghci-history flag isn't supported by any released version yet.

Thanks for help. I managed to run tests properly.

Meanwhile I've found:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers-benchmark

Is there an idea how these two should relate?

Containers-benchmark is a package for benchmarking only, it contains no tests. I use from time to time to measure impact of code changes. So the package is orthogonal to the testsuite. Cheers, Milan
