Re: Damncheck - a property-based testing library
George: I was hoping to get some feedback from the community regarding the quality of the code and if something can be written the D-way. I have also written a blog post about the process (http://blog.zakhour.me/post/d/damncheck-on-building-a-property-based-testing-library-for-d/) Eventually a QuickCheck-like library needs to become standard tool used to test most D projects. There are many other related ideas, like: http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~nicsma/quickspec.pdf Bye, bearophile

You should make your generators accept seeds. Seedless randoms are bad for unit testing, since you can't replicate failed tests. Thank you for the feedback, I added the ability to explicitly set the seed and to easily retrieve it after each test completion (it's now a property in the DamnStat struct which is returned when a test is completed)
