- Subject: test embedded-c more
Hi -
I committed the following to the HACKING guidelines. We need to be
more skeptical and rigorous with testing of embedded-c stuff than in
the past.
- Every embedded-C routine should be tested for pass-4 buildability
- and ideally pass-5 correctness.
+ Every embedded-C routine should be tested for pass-4
+ buildability. As they are a security hazard, every tapset
+ embedded-C routine should be pass-5 stress-tested for response to
+ erroneous inputs. This applies doubly to /* unprivileged */ ones.
