We need some eCos tests to qualify specific features, particular GDB features, during QA. By extending the QA process with tests written specifically for interactive testing, we should get a better (and more consistent) cover of features that may otherwise only get tested by chance. o GDB single stepping - test s / n commands (series of functions calling each other) - test bt when at bottom of call chain - test si / ni commands - test the scheduler-lock GDB/stub feature [this one is hard] o Selective linking - Build test with known-dead function in. Use objdump/nm to ensure it's been nuked. Same for .data, .rodata, and .bss objects.
