It takes a long time to run, but it is basically all
the testing we need of the API, if this works it's
unlikely to be broken. It requires a change in the build
system, so don't enable it for now.
I'm playing with some linear structures and finding these useful a lot,
so good to have a consistent syntax for it. '#' is chosen because it's
short, looks a bit like a cross if you look at it from the right angle
(!) and so as not to clash with '@@' in preorder reasoning syntax.
Without --no-index, git compares the files with their state in HEAD.
But we want to compare them to each other! This explain why we were
getting no output whatsoever.
With --word-diff=color, we can easily spot the small changes anywhere in
a line.
If a function is public export, the local definitions also need to be
public export for it to reduce properly. But if they're not, we don't
want them exported or they might affect the module hash and cause
unnecessary rebuilds.
When runing in interactive mode, the diff between expected and output is not being show,
Supposedly, Git-diff returns 0 on successful run and a non-zero for error.
However, this is not being picked up by the test suite.
We change git-diff's error reporting to be more diff like in which:
+ +ve indicates that there is a diff.
+ 0 indicates the files are the same.
+ -ve program error.
This should make diff reporting more robust.
This takes the responsibilty of finding the ipkg away from IDE mode,
which seems sensible given that we can do it ourselves. If there isn't
one, it'll load from the local directory as always.
This involves new primitives GCPtr and GCAnyPtr which are pointer types
that have finalisers attached. The finalisers are run when the
associated pointer goes out of scope.
In the test, I am assuming that the GC will only be called once, right
at the end. Otherwise, the output isn't guaranteed to be deterministic!
Let's see how this assumption holds...
This is currently Chez only. I think it'll be easy enough to add to
the Racket and Gambit back ends too.
