* Add the ability to sample elements from an openArray according to a parallel array of weights/unnormalized probabilities (any sort of histogram, basically). Also add a non-thread safe version for convenience. * Address Araq comments on https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/10072 * import at top of file and space after '#'. * Put in a check for non-zero total weight. * Clarify constraint on `w`. * Rename `rand(openArray[T])` to `sample(openArray[T])` to `sample`, deprecating old name and name new (openArray[T], openArray[U]) variants `sample`. * Rename caller-provided state version of rand(openArray[T]) and also clean up doc comments. * Add test for new non-uniform array sampler. 3 sd bound makes it 99% likely that it will still pass in the future if the random number generator changes. We cannot both have a tight bound to check distribution *and* loose check to ensure resilience to RNG changes. (We cannot *guarantee* resilience, anyway. There's always a small chance any test hits a legitimate random fluctuation.)
This directory contains the test cases.
Each test must have a filename of the form: t*.nim
Note: Tests are only compiled by default. In order to get the tester to
execute the compiled binary, you need to specify a spec with an action key
(see below for details).
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: compile
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 cat <category>.
The folder rodfiles contains special tests that test incremental
compilation via symbol files.
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.
