👷🏾 LDPL Test Battery

The LDPL Test Battery is a collection of tests and an automated tester used to test new releases of the LDPL programming language.

Tests used

The following tests are used to test the language:

• conflow.ldpl: test basic control flow statements.
• basicar.ldpl: test basic arithmetic statements.
• basictx.ldpl: test basic text statements.
• vector.ldpl: test vector statements.
• file.ldpl: create a file, open a file, write to it, append to it.
• fibo.ldpl: calculate the first 50 fibonacci numbers.
• explode.ldpl: splits a string.
• sqrt.ldpl: calculate a square root using the Babylonian Method.
• quine.ldpl: a quine program.
• exec.ldpl: tests execution and system statements.
• list.ldpl: test list statements.

Statements not being tested

• ACCEPT
• ACCEPT - UNTIL EOF
• STORE RANDOM IN
• WAIT - MILLINSECONDS
• IMPORT
• EXTENSION
• FLAG
• C++ extension compatibility.

How to compile the tester

The tester is written in LDPL. To compile and run it you should run

sh compileAndRunTester.sh

preferably with a stable version of LDPL.

How to run the tester

Run $ ./tester.

Using a custom runner

By default the tester will compile and run each test with ldpl, but you can define your own "compile and run" process by providing a runner script with the -r= flag:

ldpl tester.ldpl -o=tester
./tester -r=my-ldpl.sh

This would execute the my-ldpl.sh program once for each test file, passing the test file as the first argument. In your runner script you could, for example, build and run each test file with a development version of LDPL. Or a different compiler/interpreter entirely.
