I'd like to assume the order is fixed in this case: Ich have two classes for a special file format. When writing tests I'd like to - have one file in the format as a reference data, if it can be read the sources are okay - test the reader component on the reference file - if the reader is okay, use it to re-read what the writer component writes out That way would avoid duplicating the code actually doing the work of reading those files from the reader component into the unit test. Is there any argument speaking against assuming fixed order behaviour? One of the design guidelines for unit testing is that tests must NEVER rely on the output of other tests. So the order of tests are really irrelevant. Any single tests or test suite must be able to run and pass without first having to run others in a set order. Yes, I agree. But if I do the same reading process in the readers source and in the test case I have two spots having the same code. Fixing errors or making changes at one place only would be nice. How could I solve this problem in a better way? Regards, Marc ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Re: [fpc-pascal] Free Pascal Support for ARM Architecture
Jonas Thank you for that reply. OK.. well if that opinion is just a guess, then as this is really a question that has to be answered by actually looking at the FP code and finding out what it sets as the ARM specific GNU AS command line options.

Re: [fpc-pascal] Free Pascal Support for ARM Architecture
My point is saying 'guess' was not to discredit your statement about what the FP compiler does, rather to say that no one seems to know exactly what ARM option FP sends to the GNU Assembler and what that option value actually is. Reading the GNU as manual, the arch parameter value needs to be set to one of several values. It can also specify generic ARM architecture, but that choice in addition to being imprecise, could result in code that either is not optimized for the target ARM processor, or fail to execute as expected. Thank you for your reply.

How could I solve this problem in a better way? By using Setup() or TearDown(). You can also use class inheritance. Create TTestCase descendants implementing your readers source. Then create your actual test cases, using that new class, instead of TTestCase directly. eg: TTestCase | TMyBaseReaderTestClass -- will contain your reader code | TReaderTestCase -- will contain your actual tests or TReaderTestCase = class(TTestCase) public procedure Setup; --- reader setup code here procedure TearDown; published procedure TestOne; procedure TestTwo; end; Setup() and TearDown() will be called automatically before and after each test.
