annotate tests/automated/README @ 4792:95b04754ea8c
Make #'equalp more compatible with CL; add a compiler macro, test & doc it.
lisp/ChangeLog addition:
2009-11-08 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>
* cl-extra.el (cl-string-vector-equalp)
(cl-bit-vector-vector-equalp, cl-vector-array-equalp)
(cl-hash-table-contents-equalp): New functions, to implement
equalp treating arrays with identical contents as equivalent, as
specified by Common Lisp.
(equalp): Revise this function to implement array equivalence,
and the hash-table equalp behaviour specified by CL.
* cl-macs.el (equalp): Add a compiler macro for this function,
used when one of the arguments is constant, and as such, its type
is known at compile time.
man/ChangeLog addition:
2009-11-08 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>
* lispref/objects.texi (Equality Predicates):
Document #'equalp here, as well as #'equal and #'eq.
tests/ChangeLog addition:
2009-12-31 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>
* automated/lisp-tests.el:
Test much of the functionality of equalp; add a pointer to Paul
Dietz' ANSI test suite for this function, converted to Emacs
Lisp. Not including the tests themselves in XEmacs because who
owns the copyright on the files is unclear and the GCL people
didn't respond to my queries.

| 398 | 1 This directory contains XEmacs' automated test suite. The usual way |
| 2 of running all the tests is running `make check' from the top-level | |
| 3 source directory. | |
| 4 | |
| 5 The test suite is unfinished and it's still lacking some essential | |
| 6 features. It is nevertheless recommended that you run the tests to | |
| 7 confirm that XEmacs behaves correctly. | |
| 8 | |
| 9 If you want to run a specific test case, you can do it from the | |
| 10 command-line like this: | |
| 11 | |
| 12 $ xemacs -batch -l test-harness.elc -f batch-test-emacs TEST-FILE | |
| 13 | |
| 14 If something goes wrong, you can run the test suite interactively by | |
| 15 loading `test-harness.el' into a running XEmacs and typing | |
| 16 `M-x test-emacs-test-file RET <filename> RET'. You will see a log of | |
| 17 passed and failed tests, which should allow you to investigate the | |
| 18 source of the error and ultimately fix the bug. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 Adding a new test file is trivial: just create a new file here and it | |
| 21 will be run. There is no need to byte-compile any of the files in | |
| 22 this directory -- the test-harness will take care of any necessary | |
| 23 byte-compilation. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 Look at the existing test cases for the examples of coding test cases. | |
| 26 It all boils down to your imagination and judicious use of the macros | |
| 27 `Assert', `Check-Error', `Check-Error-Message', and `Check-Message'. |
