In the course of working on http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/ticket/677, I
had occasion to check the function and current status of various Perl 5
programs in 'tools/dev'. 'ops_not_tested.pl' was one I had never
noticed before. Growing out of an IRC conversation between Leo and
toor, 'ops_not_tested.pl' was contributed in September 2006 by Ruben
Fonseca and was intended to identify opcodes not used or tested.
Test coverage++!
There's only one problem: The program relies on a build structure we
have since jettisoned:
$> perl tools/dev/ops_not_tested.pl
Can't locate Parrot/Op.pm in @INC
I suspect this module went away when 'ops2c' was converted from Perl 5
to NQP.
Could anyone who was involved with that overhaul of 'ops2c' take a look
at this program and see whether it could be brought up-to-date and
thereby provide us with a useful tool for measuring test coverage of
opcodes?
Thank you very much.
