Wes McKinney created ARROW-3254: ----------------------------------- Summary: [C++] Add option to ADD_ARROW_TEST to compose a test executable from multiple .cc files containing unit tests Key: ARROW-3254 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3254 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: C++ Reporter: Wes McKinney Fix For: 0.12.0
Currently there is a 1-1 correspondence between a .cc file containing unit tests to a test executable. There's good reasons (like readability, code organization) to split up a large test suite among many files. But there are downsides: * Linking test executables is slow, especially on Windows * Test executables take up quite a bit of space (the debug/ directory on Linux after a full build is ~1GB) I suggest enabling ADD_ARROW_TEST to accept a list of files which will be build together into a single test. This will allow us to combine a number of our unit tests and save time and space -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
