The Mercury test suite is (dis)organized into several subdirectories.
|
|
Each subdirectory has a script named "runtests" that runs the tests
|
|
in that subdirectory; these indicate the presence of any errors by
|
|
returning a nonzero exit status. The runtests script in this directory
|
|
invokes the runtests scripts in all the subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
Both the bootcheck script and the nightly script use the main runtests
|
|
script to run all the tests.
|
|
|
|
benchmarks
|
|
This directory contains Mercury versions of the benchmarks.
|
|
These tests work by comparing the output of the Mercury and
|
|
the NU-Prolog versions.
|
|
|
|
general
|
|
This directory is for general test cases.
|
|
(It might be a good idea to split this into tests
|
|
of particular features and regression tests that check
|
|
for old bugs. But for the moment, just about everything
|
|
goes in here.)
|
|
These tests work by comparing the output of the Mercury and
|
|
the NU-Prolog versions.
|
|
|
|
hard_coded
|
|
This directory is for tests of features that don't work in
|
|
NU-Prolog. The expected output of the program has to be
|
|
hard-coded in a hand-written `.exp' file, rather having the
|
|
`.exp' file be generated automatically using NU-Prolog.
|
|
|
|
valid
|
|
This directory is for test cases that are not complete
|
|
programs. We just check that the files compile.
|
|
|
|
invalid
|
|
This directory is for test cases that are invalid
|
|
programs. We check that the files do *not* compile.
|
|
|
|
warnings
|
|
This directory is for tests of compiler warnings. These work by
|
|
comparing the warnings emitted by the compiler with those given
|
|
in the hand-written `.exp' file.
|
|
|
|
To regenerate the expected output files for the benchmark and general
|
|
directories, execute the "generate_exp" script in this directory.
