- FIXME: Ports to new architectures involve New ports involve modifying core parts of Wine:
- synchronization, exception handling, thread management, etc.
- After such modifications extensive testing is necessary to
- make sure the changes did not To check the correctness of new ports.
+ Conformance tests will also come in handy when testing Wine on
+ new (or not as widely used) architectures such as FreeBSD,
+ Solaris x86 or even non-x86 systems. Even when the port does
+ not involve any significant change in the thread management,
+ exception handling or other low-level aspects of Wine, new
+ architectures can expose subtle bugs that can be hard to
+ diagnose when debugging regular (complex) applications.
