This directory contains tests for ROSE.  

The tests are divided into separate directories to test the ability to
compile code and the ability to execute the compiled code separately. Other
tests isolate parts of the internal ROSE infrastructure for testing that
use to be in the ROSE/src directory but could not be colocated there under the
new directory structure.

Since ROSE optimizes the use of libraries and A++ is the only current library that
ROSE can optimize, tests that test the ability of ROSE to optimize performance
are located in the RunTests directory.  Before any optimization can occur, we have to
be able to process the code through ROSE, this is sufficiently significant as a problem
that we have a separate directory of compile tests to test the ability of the preprocessor 
(and all of it's different phases). These compiler tests (code fragments that are or have been
a problem to compile properly) are located in the CompileTests directory.

   All translators build using ROSE should
be able to parse, process internally (generate ASTs), unparse, and
compile (with a C++ compiler)  the codes in each of these directories.

CompileTests:
   This directory contains code fragments that test the internal compiler mechanisms.
Many code fragments or whole codes are present which have or continue to present
problems in the compilation.  The CompileTests directory consists of several directories,
the README file in that CompileTests directory gives more specific information.

RunTests:
   This directory contains subdirectories representing code which uses libraries that
ROSE can optimize.  It's purpose is to test the optimization mechanisms within ROSE.
A testing harness (used in A++/P++ and developed by Brian Miller) will be use to report
the performance of the optimizations at a later stage.

roseTests:
   This directory tests the internal ROSE infrastructure. It contains separate 
subdirectories for individual parts of ROSE. See ROSE/tests/roseTests/README 
for details.

translatorTests:
   This directory contains test translators and their input codes for regression tests of ROSE.
