Up to now, we tolerated null pointers in Literal instances.
But we can not tolerate passing a null cString to Symbol initialisation.
Rather, hereby we introduce a dedicated "bottom" Symbol, a valid "null object"
...which means, from now on identical input strings
will produce the same Symbol object (embedded pointer).
TODO: does not handle null pointers passed in as c-String properly
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\

/** @file §§§\
** TODO §§§\

}' {} \;
over time, we got quite a jungle with all those
shome-me-the-type-of helper functions.
Reduced and unified all those into
- typeString : a human readable, slightly simplified full type
- typeSymbol : a single word identifier, extracted lexically from the type
note: this changeset causes a lot of tests to break,
since we're using unmangeled type-IDs pretty much everywhere now.
Beore fixing those, I'll have to implement a better simplification
scheme for the "human readable" type names....
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.
