requires to supplement EventLog matching primitives
to pick and verify a specific positional argument.
Moreover, it is more or less arbitrary which job invocation parameters
are unpacked and exposed for verification; we'll have to see what is
actually required for writing tests...
Testcase (detect function invocation) passes now as expected
Some Library / Framework changes
- rename event-log-test.cpp
- allow the ExpectString also to work with concatenated expectation strings
Remark: there was a warning in the comment in event-log.hpp,
pointing out that negative assertions are shallow.
However, after the rework in 9/2018 (commit: d923138d1)
...this should no longer be true, since we perform proper backtracking,
leading to an exhaustive search.
The EventLog seems to provide all the building blocks, but we need
some higher level special matchers (and maybe we also want to hide
some of the basic EventLog matchers). A soulution might be to wrap
the EventMatcher and delegate all follow-up builder calls.
This seems adequate, since the EventLog-Matcher is basically used as black box,
building up more elaborate matchers from the provided basic matchers...
Spent some time again to understand how EventLog matching works.
My feelings towards this piece of code are always the same: it is
somewhat too "tricky", but I am not aware of any other technique
to get this degree of elaborate chained matching on structured records,
short of building a dedicated matching engine from scratch.
The other alternative would be to use a flat textual log (instead of
the structured log records from EventLog), but then we'd have to
generate quite intricate regular expressions from the builder,
and I'm really doubtful it would be easier and clearer....
well... reduction in size of the debug build objects
turns out not to be so large as I hoped. But it is significant anyway,
about 3-4MB on the most affected test classes. Plus from now on we
do not repeat that code on other tests using the same features.
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.
