Hi, testing of special functions involves comparing actual values returned by CM with expected values as computed with an arbitrary precision software (I use Maxima [1] for this purpose). As I intend these tests to be assesments of the overall accuracy of our implementations, the number of test values is quite large. For the time being, I've inlined the reference values in double[][] arrays, in the test classes. This clutters the code, and I will move these reference values to resource files. In order to limit the size of these files, I'm considering binary files, the obvious drawback being the lack of readability (for those of us who haven't entered the Matrix yet). So what I would propose to add a readme.txt file in the same resource file directory, where the content of each binary file would be detailed. Would you object to that? I'm thinking of reserving the *.dat extension to these binary files. This would entail renaming a few resource files from *.dat (I had myself introduced in the optimization.general package) to *.txt. Is that OK?
