Comments?
I like how the existing tests are organized by sections in the standard. When
working on for example vector, it's easy to run just the container tests
without having to worry about all the other tests. If the regression tests are
in a separate directory people will need to remember to build and run them in
addition to those for whatever it is they happen to be working on. Would it be
possible to put the regression tests in the same directories as the other tests
for the same components?
That sounds like a reasonable idea to me. Although not all
regression tests necessarily are (or will always be) specific
to a single component. Another (minor) wrinkle with the setup
you are proposing is that the regression tests wouldn't show
up along with the other tests for the same components in the
test result logs unless we prepended the section number to
their names like we do with te other ones. I.e., the naming
convention for the section-specific regression tests would
have to be something like:
tests/<section>/<section-number>.stdcxx-<issue-number>.cpp
Regression tests that aren't specific to a single section
would still follow the originally proposed convention:
tests/regress/stdcxx-<issue-number>.cpp
Does this sound like a plan?
