...causing the system to freeze due to excess memory allocation. Fortunately it turned out this was not an error in the Scheduler core or memory manager, but rather a sloppiness in the test scaffolding. However, this incident highlights that the memory manager lacks some sanity checks to prevent outright nonsensical allocation requests. Moreover it became clear again that the allocation happens ''already before'' entering the Scheduler — and thus the existing sanity check comes too late. Now I've used the same reasoning also for additional checks in the allocator, limiting the Epoch increment to 3000 and the total memory allocation to 8GiB Talking of Gibitbytes... indeed we could use a shorthand notation for that purpose... |

GUI backbone tests The tests in this subtree are a bit special: they cover the generic and backbone internals of the Lumiera GTK GUI. They are linked against the complete GUI-module (gui plugin), and thus may use all related ABIs. Yet these tests are *deliberately* compiled without any GTK, GTKmm or SigC includes. This effectively rules out the use, even indirectly, of any GTK widgets and APIs -- forcing the covered GUI backbone entities to stay clean and generic at API level. This is a decision done on purpose. The concrete GUI framework technology shall be treated as an implementation detail. There is no point in writing tests which click buttons in the GUI -- better delegate any significant logic or functionality to GUI agnostic components. GUI is meant to be a presentation layer and must not develop intelligence on its own.
