Testing Guidelines for d2qbe

This skill describes how to write and run tests for the d2qbe compiler.

Unittests

• Location: Native D unittest blocks inside source/d2qbe/*.d.
• Command: make unittest
• Why: macOS process/linker overhead makes integration tests slow. make unittest compiles and runs native unit tests in-memory under 1 second.
• Rule: Always write unit tests before writing code!

Integration Tests

• Location: test/run.sh
• Command: make test
• Usage: Verifies end-to-end compiler output, compilation via qbe, and execution.
