Automatic JIT testing

[brson]

We have JIT code now. It passes lots of tests, but we don't actually run them. Needs a bot.

rusti uses the JIT, right? So regression+bot testing of rusti could help with this; see Issue #5469.

I'm assuming brson ideally wants unit tests for the JIT as well, but rusti testing alone might suffice for much of what we need.

Nominating for maturity milestone 4: "well covered", since this is a measurement mechanism for evaluating the correctness of a library.

compiletest does have a mode for testing the JIT now, but we never run it

accepted for well-covered milestone

visiting for triage, email from 2013-08-05.

I considered adding E-needstest tag. But this isn't about adding more tests (that's how I read "it passes lots of test"), its instead about adding either a dedicated bot, or incorporating the tests into some existing test suite?

Closing, the JIT has been removed.
