External STM testsuite

This testsuite is designed to work with various stm versions in order to facilitate implementing and verifying regression testing.

Testing in-tree stm

For testing the in-tree stm version in the parent folder ../, invoke

cabal new-run test:stm -w ghc-7.10.3

from the top-level folder of the stm Git repo.

Testing relased stm versions

For testing released versions of stm, run testsuite from this folder where the testsuite package resides like so

cabal new-run test:stm -w ghc-7.10.3 --constraint 'stm == 2.4.5.0'

this allows you to conveniently control the GHC as well as the version of 'stm' under test.
