As the title says. The Orc APIs should lend themselves to unit tests, and this may allow us to reduce our reliance on the JIT regression tests, which often have problems with portability.
Adding Anthony, who was interested in general JIT stuff.
Initial unit test checked in by Dave Blaikie in r230196. Now I've got something to crib from when adding more tests. Thanks Dave!
Progress report: We now have several unit tests for portions of the ORC APIs. Still to do - several of the layers are still untested, and there are no tests for the generic layer concept.
How is (unit) test coverage today in Orc?
Improved! Plenty of infrastructure and basic tests are in place now. I'm going to call this fixed. :)
