Comment(by mgrimes):
I have now converted t/op/string.t to pir. I also added comments to the
TAP output for the first three. Please use perl_to_pir_v2.patch rather
than the parl_to_pir.patch.
string.t has a number of tests to check the comparison ops, that were
generated by perl code. I have moved these tests to t/op/string_cmp.t.
They are now pure pir, but I included (in a comments to string_cmp.t) the
code that was used to generate it.
Hope these are helpful.
I have also put together a perl script and a some vim macros that helped
streamline the conversion. It is pretty ugly code, but it really helped.
If anyone else is interested I'm happy to share the code. Alternatively,
if there is an appropriate place to post the code, I would be happy to do
that (it is way to kludgy to release on CPAN, etc).
BTW, on my box, these tests now take about a third of a second to run
while they used to take nearly 4.3 seconds. If we collectively run these
900 times, it would save an hour of developer time. :)
