<dl class="function">
<dt>
<a name = "error_handler"></a>
<strong>error_handler (file, line, got_text, needed_text, msg)</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
error handling for test results.
By default, this writes to stderr and exits the program.
Re-define this function to raise an error and/or redirect output
<h3>Parameters:</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="parameter">file</span>
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">line</span>
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">got_text</span>
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">needed_text</span>
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">msg</span>
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>
<a name = "complain"></a>
<strong>complain (x, y, msg, where)</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
general test complain message.
Useful for composing new test functions (see tests/tablex.lua for an example)
<h3>Parameters:</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="parameter">x</span>
a value
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">y</span>
value to compare first value against
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">msg</span>
message
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">where</span>
extra level offset for errors
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>
<a name = "asserteq"></a>
<strong>asserteq (x, y, eps, where)</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
like assert, except takes two arguments that must be equal and can be tables.
If they are plain tables, it will use tablex.deepcompare.
<h3>Parameters:</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="parameter">x</span>
any value
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">y</span>
a value equal to x
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">eps</span>
an optional tolerance for numerical comparisons
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">where</span>
extra level offset
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>
<a name = "assertmatch"></a>
<strong>assertmatch (s1, s2, where)</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
assert that the first string matches the second.
<h3>Parameters:</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="parameter">s1</span>
a string
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">s2</span>
a string
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">where</span>
extra level offset
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>
<a name = "assertraise"></a>
<strong>assertraise (fn, e, where)</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
assert that the function raises a particular error.
<h3>Parameters:</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="parameter">fn</span>
a function or a table of the form {function,arg1,...}
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">e</span>
a string to match the error against
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">where</span>
extra level offset
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>
<a name = "asserteq2"></a>
<strong>asserteq2 (x1, x2, y1, y2, where)</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
a version of asserteq that takes two pairs of values.
<code>x1==y1 and x2==y2</code> must be true. Useful for functions that naturally
return two values.
<h3>Parameters:</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="parameter">x1</span>
any value
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">x2</span>
any value
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">y1</span>
any value
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">y2</span>
any value
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">where</span>
extra level offset
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>
<a name = "tuple"></a>
<strong>tuple (...)</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
encode an arbitrary argument list as a tuple.
This can be used to compare to other argument lists, which is
very useful for testing functions which return a number of values.
Unlike regular array-like tables ('sequences') they may contain nils.
Tuples understand equality and know how to print themselves out.
The # operator is defined to be the size, irrespecive of any nils,
and there is an <code>unpack</code> method.
<h3>Parameters:</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="parameter">...</span>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage:</h3>
<ul>
<pre class="example"><span class="function-name">asserteq</span>(<span class="function-name">tuple</span>( (<span class="string">'ab'</span>):<span class="function-name">find</span> <span class="string">'a'</span>), <span class="function-name">tuple</span>(<span class="number">1</span>,<span class="number">1</span>))</pre>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>
<a name = "timer"></a>
<strong>timer (msg, n, fun, ...)</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
Time a function. Call the function a given number of times, and report the number of seconds taken,
together with a message. Any extra arguments will be passed to the function.
<h3>Parameters:</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="parameter">msg</span>
<span class="types"><a class="type" href="https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html#6.4">string</a></span>
a descriptive message
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">n</span>
<span class="types"><span class="type">integer</span></span>
number of times to call the function
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">fun</span>
<span class="types"><span class="type">function</span></span>
the function
</li>
<li><span class="parameter">...</span>
optional arguments to fun
</li>
</ul>
