Is there a Unit Test for Dynamic Arrays? If not, perhaps the original poster could help to contribute one. I use Dynamic Arrays heavily in Delphi and I'm just getting into FPC and Lazarus, and I'm very interesting in having a unit test for FPC Dynamic arrays to accomplish the following:
(1) Do all possible operations on Dynamic arrays, report total heap size before they are created, and after they are freed. (P.S. Is a debug-heap an option in FPC somewhere?). Use dynamic arrays in record, class, and local function scope, check recursion, param and var param usage, etc etc. If FPC has range checking {$R+} like Delphi, perhaps tests for this can be created too.
(2) Be compilable via FPC and Delphi, and work identically on both, {$ifdef} where necessary.
(3) Generally serve to either to locate any real problem (if one really exists), or to ensure that no accidental breakage can slip by undetected. If I have some time, I will write such a beastie as an exercise. If Yakov you have any code that exhibits the broken behavior, or you can contribute anything to this, it would be great. Later, I want to figure out how to implement Packages in FPC, but I figure I may as well pick a baby-size idea first. This one sounds like it's easy.
We have a testsuite available. See the fpc/tests/ directory in cvs or fpc.zip. This testsuite contains a lot of basic tests for the codegenerator and all reported bugs that are reproducable in non-interactive test programs.
The testsuite is run daily for Linux-i386 and the results can be viewed online at http://www.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/testsuite.cgi
