How to test DRD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Run the regression tests. After having compiled DRD, run the following
   command:
     perl tests/vg_regtest exp-drd
2. Test the slowdown for matinv for various matrix sizes (must be less
   than 100):
     time exp-drd/tests/matinv 200
     for ((i=1;i<=10;i++))
     do
       echo "==== $i ===="
       time ./vg-in-place --tool=exp-drd exp-drd/tests/matinv 200 -t$i
     done
3. Test whether DRD works with standard KDE applications and whether it does
   not print any error messages:
     ./vg-in-place --tool=exp-drd kate
     ./vg-in-place --trace-children=yes --tool=exp-drd knode
4. Test DRD with Firefox. First of all, build and install Firefox 3. Next,
   run the following command:
     LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/software/mozilla-build/dist/lib: ./vg-in-place --trace-children=yes --tool=exp-drd $HOME/software/mozilla-build/dist/bin/firefox-bin






The Firefox source code can be obtained here:

Firefox can be compiled via the following shell script:
