Hi hackers.
Now that we are implementing some and compression filters we need to
design a proper way to introduce data files in the unit tests, to hold
encoded and decoded data for comparison.
I am thinking in something like this:
- Store any data file used by the the unit tests in
torture/unit/data/
Since a lot of the data files will be in binary format and since
they may use a lot of disk space (think on large jbig2 or jpeg
chunks, for example) we can store the files in
www.gnupdf.org/prmgt/test-files/ and provide a little script in
torture/unit/data/get-test-files.sh that will download the files
to the proper place.
- Provide some functions to ease the reading and writing of files
to the unit tests. We can store these common functions in, for
example, torture/unit/testlib.c
What do you thinkg about that? Suggestions?
Aleksander, would do it work with the nocheck library?
