Changes since the last import: July 27, 2021: As per IEEE Std 1003.1-2008, -F "str" is now consistent with -v FS="str" when str is null. Thanks to Warner Losh. July 24, 2021: Fix readrec's definition of a record. This fixes an issue with NetBSD's RS regular expression support that can cause an infinite read loop. Thanks to Miguel Pineiro Jr. Fix regular expression RS ^-anchoring. RS ^-anchoring needs to know if it is reading the first record of a file. This change restores a missing line that was overlooked when porting NetBSD's RS regex functionality. Thanks to Miguel Pineiro Jr. Fix size computation in replace_repeat() for special case REPEAT_WITH_Q. Thanks to Todd C. Miller. Also, for the first time, import all the tests. Sponsored by: Netflix

The archive of test files contains
|
|
|
|
- A shell file called REGRESS that controls the testing process.
|
|
|
|
- Several shell files called Compare* that control sub-parts
|
|
of the testing.
|
|
|
|
- About 160 small tests called t.* that constitute a random
|
|
sampling of awk constructions collected over the years.
|
|
Not organized, but they touch almost everything.
|
|
|
|
- About 60 small tests called p.* that come from the first
|
|
two chapters of The AWK Programming Language. This is
|
|
basic stuff -- they have to work.
|
|
|
|
These two sets are intended as regression tests, to be sure
|
|
that a new version produces the same results as a previous one.
|
|
There are a couple of standard data files used with them,
|
|
test.data and test.countries, but others would work too.
|
|
|
|
- About 20 files called T.* that are self-contained and
|
|
more systematic tests of specific language features.
|
|
For example, T.clv tests command-line variable handling.
|
|
These tests are not regressions -- they compute the right
|
|
answer by separate means, then compare the awk output.
|
|
A specific test for each new bug found shows up in at least
|
|
one of these, most often T.misc. There are about 220 tests
|
|
total in these files.
|
|
|
|
- Two of these files, T.re and T.sub, are systematic tests
|
|
of the regular expression and substitution code. They express
|
|
tests in a small language, then generate awk programs that
|
|
verify behavior.
|
|
|
|
- About 20 files called tt.* that are used as timing tests;
|
|
they use the most common awk constructions in straightforward
|
|
ways, against a large input file constructed by Compare.tt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is undoubtedly more stuff in the archive; it's been
|
|
collecting for years and may need pruning. Suggestions for
|
|
improvement, additional tests (especially systematic ones),
|
|
and the like are all welcome.
