Hello, The ndiff software commit (a974e9802cc0b54ed33d9078b7767b29286c5684 I believe) added a lot of files and directories in the utils/ndiff directory that appear to be output files (checkXYZ.xyz). Perhaps this was a mistake?
Hi Hazen: I implemented the CMake-based build system for ndiff years ago so to answer your question I needed to take a quick look at the test part of that build system again to confirm all was well. If you look at the test logic in ndiff/CMakeLists.txt the bash script ndiff_check.sh that is configured refers to $1.xyz where xyz takes on the values "err", "out", "opt", "in1", "in2". Furthermore, if you look further at ndiff/CMakeLists.txt that $1 argument to the script takes on the values check001 through check009, and check010 through check026. So from this quick check it appears the files you refer to are a legitimate part of the test system so including them in the commit was the right thing to do. But thanks for asking because two heads are much better than one, and you will likely catch one of my commits that needs fixing some day. But just not today. :-) Alan __________________________ Alan W.
