Bullshit. You need to verify that the patch to the compiler makes the
necessary changes, and only those changes, to the EEPROM images that
the compiler creates. The compiler is essentially a filter - it
takes source code in and produces (among other things) a binary image
that gets uploaded to an OOPic EEPROM. When you already have known
good (or almost good in the case of oEvent) binaries that were
created by the 6.1.1 compiler, verification that the 6.1.2 compiler
is doing its job DOES NOT involve plugging in hardware test jigs. An
OOPic user already provided an oEvent patch utility and he didn't
have to resort to hardware hacking to verify it.
Where is your regression testing? Don't you already have a large
suite of test programs that you feed through the compiler when you
make changes so that you can verify that code generation isn't
adversely affected? If you make a change to how oh, let's say,
serial port code is generated, can't you quickly verify that programs
that DON'T use serial port objects are completely unaffected? If not, why not?
