[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #30341] Cannot run 'test COMPILED_FUNCTION_NAME' from installed Octave

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #30341 (project octave):

I wasn't thinking of renaming any functions, just extracting the tests,
automatically when Octave is built, then installing those tests along with the
rest of Octave.  The test function would then need to be modified to look for
the installed tests separate from .m or .cc files.  We might also need to have
a way to tag a block of tests to indicate that they are intended to test a
particular function.  Otherwise, I don't know how we would know where to store
each set of tests found in src/data.cc, for example.  Currently, the tests in
.cc files are run and results are reported on a per file basis, not for each
function that the file contains.  This doesn't matter much when you are
running the tests as part of the build process, but I imagine it would matter
if you wanted to run tests for individual built-in or dld functions after
Octave is installed.
