nofib target for just building should be part of validate
nofib is never run during validates, which makes it easy to bitrot (c.f. AMP changes). It would be better if:
- We had a build target for just building nofib tests, not running them, (maybe optionally with optimizations turned off, or just
-fno-code
) and - This build target was executed during validates
This should strike a balance between wanting to avoid having to spend a lot of time running the benchmarks on validate, while still exercising the nofib tests to some degree.
