Re: [ccmtools-devel] Local and remote tests

[Leif J. <le...@am...>]

Hi Egon -

I went on a tour de force today and merged the _user_types and
_basic_types tests together. Since the CCM Tools no longer has they
`user' or `basic' type distinction, I thought it would be cleaner to
merge the tests. I'm doing make check right now, will let you know how
it turns out.

Also, what do you think of merging the _interface tests in with the
_types tests ? Seems like an interface is just another type, no ?

I also removed some of the basic tests that were already covered by the
_types tests. I noticed a couple of _check_CCM_Remote_*.cc test files
getting removed, I'm sorry if I got rid of the tests that you're trying
to merge in from the remote generator. :-/ We'll get it worked out
though.

I think I'm going to set up a new ccmtools mailing list, ccmtools-cvs,
which will send us an email whenever people commit something to cvs.
Would be a nice way to keep track of what everyone's working on.

I dunno, I think it would be cleaner from the user's perspective to have
a single ccmtools-c++-generate script. Users could just add a --remote
switch (or something like that) to the call if they will be generating
remote component code in addition to the local stuff.

... But I can see how if you've already generated the local code it
would be a pain to regenerate the local code just to get the remote
code. Whatever works.

Gotta run to help some kids with math homework. Cheers !
