Re: [open-cobol-list] OpenCOBOL testsuite

[Bernard Giroud]

Damned ! I'm very, very sorry.

With my latest mods in numeric.c I couldn't even run EXEC85.
So I reverted these changes.

But in the meantime, I discovered that other changes also affect the
results of the NIST test suite.

So I totally agree with Keisuke, we have to run the test suite
and commit changes only when the failing tests in our own test
suite succeed AND there are nor regression on the NIST test
suite.

And I think that we should maybe write tests first, and then make
corrections to the code.

Keisuke, is there a way to mark a test as KFAIL (i.e. Known FAIL)
from the time we code the test to the time we have a correction ?

Hi,

Please run the test suites before you commit changes.

OpenCOBOL includes two different test suites:

1. OpenCOBOL test suite

Our original tests are in open-cobol/tests.  Run
"make check" in open-cobol/tests after compiling
the compiler.

2. NIST's COBOL test suite

COBOL 85 standard test suite is in tests/cobol85.
See tests/cobol85/README for details.

If feasible, please write new tests whenever you
fixed bugs or added new features.

Thanks,
Keisuke
