regression/README

   1 The following regressions are known to fail when using a version of
   2 MLton built by SML/NJ.  This happens because of bugs in SML/NJ.
   3
   4    pack-real.sml
   5         fails because SML/NJ has the wrong sign for
   6         Real.fromString "~0.0".

  10 Many of these regression tests come from the ML Kit Version 3
  11 distribution, which borrowed them from the Moscow ML distribution.

  13 The "regression" script runs all the tests in this directory and
  14 prints whether they succeeded or failed.  If they fail, you should
  15 look at the "log" file to see what went wrong.  There should be only
  16 two warnings in the log file.

  18         filesys.sml
  19                 warning due to the use of tmpnam
  20         real.sml
  21                 fails due to MLton's incorrect handling of real to string
  22                 conversions.
