Some random thoughts before I go into dreamland: BigInt 'cheats' - some tests are duplictes by running it trough a subclass or by running the testsuite trough a Calc simulation (BareCalc) which "misses" some things of Calc and thus tests the simulation of Calc inside BigInt (did I say it is complicated? ;) Although only very few tests could be removed without loss, nearly all are important and unique. As a consequnce of this test-"duplication", adding a test to bigint adds about 6 to the test count (one "real" test, one test for validity of the internal structure, and multiply this by 3 for running it trough a subclass and barecalc). (Adding on test to bigfloat usually adds two to the testcount for the same reason). OTOH, the validity tests are all lumped together, from 2 to 9 "conditions" are tested for beeing valid in one go, and only if all are valid the test succeeds. If I would change that to individual ok(), the test count would sky-rocket ;) Bit::Vector's test-count looks like it dependes on the system (32 vs 64 bit?). What's pretty amazing is its speed, my system munches them in about 2 seconds. BigInt's 8500 tests still need about 12 seconds. :-( Cheers, Te"Coverage counts more than test counts"ls - -- "Why do you go so slowly? Do you think this is some kind of game?"
