* calling the "_actual" versions of functions when defined within the same module - slowdown for the snappy compression is now down from x6 to x4-x5 when HCR is ON * dynamically linking to the runtime for VS when HCR is on - binaries are smaller * compilerProcs are also called using the _actual direct version within the module they are defined (system)! * updated comments & goals * handling VS-compatible compilers on Windows in a cleaner way * now the .dll/.so files end up in the nimcache even when --nimcache isn't explicitly stated
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.
