Linker Regression Tests

Most of our unit tests follow the default project configuration, which is "Don't Link" for simulator builds and "Link SDK" for device builds.

The linker tests are different as they set both simulator and device configuration to the same settings. This is the main way to test the linker on the simulator (which is the most common test configuration for our bots)

Note that the spaces in the projects directory names are by design as it ensure our tool chain can cope with them.

dont link

• regression testing without using the linker

• both simulator and devices are set to "Don't link"

link all

• regression testing using the linker on the all assemblies

• "Link all assemblies" for both simulator/devices

link sdk

• regression testing using the linker on the SDK assemblies

• "Link SDK assemblies only" for both simulator/devices
