2015-01-26	Speed up running of compiler test suites in coverage mode	Björn Gustavsson
	I have spent too much time lately waiting for 'cover' to finish, so now its time to optimize the running time of the tests suite in coverage mode. Basically, when 'cover' is running, the test suites would not run any tests in parallel. The reason is that using too many parallel processes when running 'cover' would be slower than running them sequentially. But those measurements were made several years ago, and many improvements have been made to improve the parallelism of the run-time system. Experimenting with the test_lib:p_run/2 function, I found that increasing the number of parallel processes would speed up the self_compile tests cases in compilation_SUITE. The difference between using 3 processes or 4 processes was slight, though, so it seems that we should not use more than 4 processes when running 'cover'. We don't want to change test_lib:parallel/0, because there is no way to limit the number of test cases that will be run in parallel by common_test. However, there as test suites (such as andor_SUITE) that don't invoke the compiler at run-time. We can run the cases in such test suites in parallel even if 'cover' is running.

	Run testcases in parallel will make the test suite run slightly faster. Another reason for this change is that we want more testing of parallel testcase support in common_test.
2011-04-12	compiler tests: Reinstate ?MODULE macro in calls to test_lib:recompile/1	Björn Gustavsson
	In 3d0f4a3085f11389e5b22d10f96f0cbf08c9337f (an update to conform with common_test), in all test_lib:recompile(?MODULE) calls, ?MODULE was changed to the actual name of the module. That would cause test_lib:recompile/1 to compile the module with the incorrect compiler options in cloned modules such as record_no_opt_SUITE, causing worse coverage.
