lhansen: Based on some whiteboard sketching we did while in Waltham, this is a work in progress of trying to get a base set of testcases that can then be reused in various scenarios such as global functions, package level and class methods. Before I go much further with this I just wanted to get some quick feedback on whether or not this is what you were thinking of.

I had also started working on doing this with an interface but quickly bumped into the issue that the interface must be defined in the public namespace and implemented in the public namespace, which would mean that the include file would then not function outside of a class wrapper.

IF we added a <testname>.regexp file handler to the runtest.py we COULD do some preprocessing on the source file prior to compiling. This would then allow us to do things such as:

function foo() --> public function foo()
function foo() --> static function foo()

Or any other manipulation of the file you wanted to do. While this would be pretty powerful it would not be as easy to compile the variations outside of using runtests.py... just a thought

WIP: float operators

Nice.  This will test a ton of combinations.

Another combination is of course one ("Unbound") where early binding in the JIT is not possible because the top-level variable is created dynamically by an assignment to an unbound name.  And yet other cases where there are multiple namespaces open and the variable is in one of them.

BTW each of the driver files should probably have a short comment about what it tests / what distinguishes it from other cases, since that can be hard to see at first glance.

Perhaps even better: For asmicro and jsmicro I've insisted that the test cases be self-identifying, all must contain a single-line descriptor:

var DESC = "...";

which can be used by the test case; it is additionally well-defined to grep test case directories for "var DESC" and then see what tests we have.  See the README files in those directories.

summary:     Bug 657330: initial checkin of including float operator functions at various levels of code, class, toplevel, package. There is more to come but this is the foundation that the rest will be based on


Open items:
1) unbound: assignment to a toplevel variable that is dynamically created, will not compile with strict mode
2) multiple namespaces: multiple open namespaces and the var that is being assigned is only in one namespace
3) qualified namespaces: assignment to a qualified namespace

Tamarin isn't maintained anymore. WONTFIX remaining bugs.
