The unit tests on Linux maintain the module hierarchy when they're compiled. For example, on 64-bit Linux, std.net.isemail's unit test object file and binary go in generated/linux/debug/64/unittest/std/net/. However, on Windows, they all go in the unittest folder.
That doesn't support having both debug and release builds. It doesn't support architecture (though we don't have to deal with anything other than 32-bit on Windows just yet). And most importantly for what I'm dealing with at the moment, it doesn't support having multiple sub-modules with the same name. In my case, I'm working on splitting std.datetime into sub-modules in std.dtime, and it makes some sense to have a windows.d with some of the windows-specific functions in it. However, there is already a std/c/windows/windows.d. So, on Windows, they would both be trying to compile to the same place in spite of the fact that they're in completely different packages. Would someone who's knowledgable enough about makefiles (and the Windows makefile in particular) be able and willing to fix win32.mak so that the unit tests get compiled within a hierarchy (possibly even in the exact same way that Linux does - e.g. generate/windows/debug/32/unittest/std/net)? - Jonathan M Davis _______________________________________________ phobos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/phobos
