These fixes were primarily developed to assist in nimsuggest debugging. There is nothing intentionally specific done for nimsuggest, but beyond the automated tests all practical testing was done with nimsuggest. Undoubltedly these will also assist in other debugging scenarios. The current nim-dbg.py script was broken in a few ways: - failed to provide detailed value information for common types (see below) - was not passing existing tests - could not produce type summary information Broken types now working somewhat better: - sequences with ref types like strings - sequences with value types like ints - arrays with ref types like strings - tables with int or string keys Other improvements: - slightly more test coverage Future considerations: - this, data used by it, should be something the compiler can generates - account for different memory layouts ([arc/orc differ](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/16479#issuecomment-751469536)) Attempts at improving nim-gdb.py More tests, few fixes for seq and type printing Tables debugging fixed added further tests Fixed type printing
This directory contains the test cases.
Each test must have a filename of the form: t*.nim
Note: Testament is only aware of tests under a directory (eg tests/foo/) and will ignore
top-level tests like tests/tbar.nim.
Specs
Each test can contain a spec in a discard """ ... """ block.
Check out the parseSpec procedure in the specs module for a full and reliable reference
action
Specifies what action this test should take.
Default: run
Options:
compile- compiles the module and fails the test if compilations fails.run- compiles and runs the module, fails the test if compilation or execution of test code fails.reject- compiles the module and fails the test if compilation succeeds.
There are certain spec keys that imply run, including output and
outputsub.
cmd
Specifies the Nim command to use for compiling the test.
There are a number of variables that are replaced in this spec option:
$target- the compilation target, e.g.c.$options- the options for the compiler.$file- the filename of the test.$filedir- the directory of the test file.
Example:
discard """
cmd: "nim $target --nimblePath:./nimbleDir/simplePkgs $options $file"
"""
Categories
Each folder under this directory represents a test category, which can be
tested by running koch tests pcat <category> (or cat to avoid parallel
testing, which is slower).
The folder dll contains simple DLL tests.
The folder realtimeGC contains a test for validating that the realtime GC
can run properly without linking against the nimrtl.dll/so. It includes a C
client and platform specific build files for manual compilation.
