Simple Test Set for Joy Programming Language

Each test consists of a snippet of Joy code along with the expected output (stdout and stderr) for a conforming Joy implementation. They are run with GNU make.

For the explanation of how this test system works see: https://chrismorgan.info/blog/make-and-git-diff-test-harness/

Set the JOY environment variable to point to the joy interpreter to test, e.g.:

export JOY="../../implementations/Python/joy -q"

-or-

setenv JOY "../../implementations/Python/joy -q"

or whatever for your shell. Then run make.

The general command line is, e.g.:

gmake -j

To make all the tests, e.g.:

gmake -j --always-make

The the g- prefix indicates that this is GNU make (or compatible), and the -j switch tells make to use multiple jobs to take advantage of multi-core systems.
