- SchedulerStress_test simply takes too long to complete (~4 min)
and is thus aborted by the testrunner. Add a switch to allow for
a quick smoke test.
- SchedulerCommutator_test aborts due to an unresolved design problem,
which I marked as failure
- add some convenience methods for passing arguments to tests
* most usages are drop-in replacements
* occasionally the other convenience functions can be used
* verify call-paths from core code to identify usages
* ensure reseeding for all tests involving some kind of randomness...
__Note__: some tests were not yet converted,
since their usage of randomness is actually not thread-safe.
This problem existed previously, since also `rand()` is not thread safe,
albeit in most cases it is possible to ignore this problem, as
''garbled internal state'' is also somehow „random“
In the Lumiera code base, we use C-String constants as unique error-IDs.
Basically this allows to create new unique error IDs anywhere in the code.
However, definition of such IDs in arbitrary namespaces tends to create
slight confusion and ambiguities, while maintaining the proper use statements
requires some manual work.
Thus I introduce a new **standard scheme**
* Error-IDs for widespread use shall be defined _exclusively_ into `namespace lumiera::error`
* The shorthand-Macro `LERR_()` can now be used to simplify inclusion and referral
* (for local or single-usage errors, a local or even hidden definition is OK)
reduce footprint of lib/util.hpp
(Note: it is not possible to forward-declare std::string here)
define the shorthand "cStr()" in lib/symbol.hpp
reorder relevant includes to ensure std::hash is "hijacked" first
IterSource should be refactored to have an iteration control API similar to IterStateWrapper.
This would resolve the need to pass that pos-pointer over the abstraction barrier,
which is the root cause for all the problems and complexities incurred here
Since this now requires to import iter-adapter-stl.hpp and iter-source.hpp
at the same time, I decided to drop the convenience imports of the STL adapters
into namespace lib. There is no reason to prefer the IterSource-based adapters
over the iter-adapter-stl.hpp variants of the same functionality.
Thus better always import them explicitly at usage site.
...actual implementation of the planned IterSource packaging is only stubbed.
But I needed to redeclare a lot of ctors, which doesn't seem logical
And I get a bad function invocation from another test case which worked correct beforehand.
this bit of Sed magic relies on the fact that we happen to write
the almost correct class name of a test into the header comment.
HOWTO:
for F in $(find tests -type f \( -name '*.cpp' \) -exec egrep -q '§§TODO§§' {} \; -print);
do sed -r -i -e'
2 {h;x;s/\s+(.+)\(Test\).*$/\\ref \1_test/;x};
/§§TODO§§/ {s/§§TODO§§//;G;s/\n//}'
$F;
done
Doxygen will only process files with a @file documentation comment.
Up to now, none of our test code has such a comment, preventing the
cross-links to unit tests from working.
This is unfortunate, since unit tests, and even the code comments there,
can be considered as the most useful form of technical documentation.
Thus I'll start an initiative to fill in those missing comments automatically
reason is, only files with a @file comment will be processed
with further documentation commands. For this reason, our Doxygen
documentation is lacking a lot of entries.
HOWTO:
find src -type f \( -name '*.cpp' -or -name '*.hpp' \) -not -exec egrep -q '\*.+@file' {} \; -print -exec sed -i -r -e'\_\*/_,$ { 1,+0 a\

due to the new automatic string conversion in operator<<
the representation of objects has changed occasionally.
I've investigated and verified all those incidents.
- remove unnecessary includes
- expunge all remaining usages of boost::format
- able to leave out the expliti string(elm) in output
- drop various operator<<, since we're now picking up
custom string conversions automatically
- delete diagnostics headers, which are now largely superfluous
- use newer helper functions occasionally
I didn't blindly change any usage of <iostream> though;
sometimes, just using the output streams right away
seems adequate.
a real fix would be to rewrite the test to collect the retrieved
values and do a structural verification of the results. This
would mean to write a lot of code for such a marginal topic,
which was implemented just for sake of completenes anyway.
Hopefully my lack of "motivation" doesn't backfire eventually ;-)
...uncovered by switching to c++11
When invoking an individual test, we used to erase
the 0-th cmdline argument, which happens to be allways
the name of the test being invoked. Yet none of our
tests actually complied to that contract. Rather,
all tests taking arguments access them by 1-based
argument index. Previously, the argument values just
happened to be still in memory at the original location
after erasing the 0st element.
"Fixed" that by changing the contract. Now, the 0th argument
remains in place, but when there are no additional arguments,
the whole cmdline is cleared.
This is messy, but the test runer needs to be rewritten
entirely, the whole API is clumsy and dangerous. Ticket #289
to make them stand out more prominently, some entity comments
where started with a line of starts. Unfortunately, doxygen
(and javadoc) only recogise comments which are started exactly
with /**
This caused quite some comments to be ignored by doxygen.
Credits to Hendrik Boom for spotting this problem!
A workaround is to end the line of stars with *//**
the buildsystem will now pick up and link
all test cases according to the layer, e.g.
backend tests will automatically be linked
against the backend + library solely.
