NAME

Parrot::Test - Functions for testing Parrot and language implementations

SYNOPSIS

Set the number of tests to be run like this:

use Parrot::Test tests => 8;

Write individual tests like this:

pasm_output_is(<<'CODE', <<'OUTPUT', "description of test");
print "this is ok\n"
end
CODE
this is ok
OUTPUT

DESCRIPTION

This module provides various Parrot-specific test functions.

Functions

The parameter $code is the code that should be executed or transformed. The parameter $expected is the expected result. The parameter $unexpected is the unexpected result. The parameter $description should describe the test.

output_is($code, $expected, $description)

Runs the Parrot Assembler code and passes the test if a string comparison of the output with the expected result it true.

pasm_output_is($code, $expected, $description)

Runs the Parrot Assembler code and passes the test if a string comparison of the output with the expected result it true.

output_like($code, $expected, $description)

Runs the Parrot Assembler code and passes the test if the output matches the expected result.

pasm_output_like($code, $expected, $description)

Runs the Parrot Assembler code and passes the test if the output matches the expected result.

output_isnt($code, $unexpected, $description)

Runs the Parrot Assembler code and passes the test if a string comparison of the output with the unexpected result is false.

pasm_output_isnt($code, $unexpected, $description)

Runs the Parrot Assembler code and passes the test if a string comparison of the output with the unexpected result is false.

pir_output_is($code, $expected, $description)

Runs the PIR code and passes the test if a string comparison of output with the expected result it true.

pir_output_like($code, $expected, $description)

Runs the PIR code and passes the test if output matches the expected result.

pir_output_isnt($code, $unexpected, $description)

Runs the PIR code and passes the test if a string comparison of the output with the unexpected result is false.

pbc_output_is($code, $expected, $description)

Runs the Parrot Bytecode and passes the test if a string comparison of output with the expected result it true.

pbc_output_like($code, $expected, $description)

Runs the Parrot Bytecode and passes the test if output matches the expected result.

pbc_output_isnt($code, $unexpected, $description)

Runs the Parrot Bytecode and passes the test if a string comparison of output with the unexpected result is false.

pir_2_pasm_is($code, $expected, $description)

Compile the Parrot Intermediate Representation and generate Parrot Assembler Code.

pir_2_pasm_like($code, $expected, $description)

Compile the Parrot Intermediate Representation and generate Parrot Assembler Code.

pir_2_pasm_isnt($code, $unexpected, $description)

Compile the Parrot Intermediate Representation and generate Parrot Assembler Code.

c_output_is($code, $expected, $description)

Compiles and runs the C code, passing the test if a string comparison of output with the expected result it true.

c_output_like($code, $expected, $description)

Compiles and runs the C code, passing the test if output matches the expected result.

c_output_isnt($code, $unexpected, $description)

Compiles and runs the C code, passing the test if a string comparison of output with the unexpected result is false.

skip($why, $how_many)

Use within a SKIP: { ... } block to indicate why and how many test are being skipped. Just like in Test::More.
