How To Use the Test Programs (If You Really Want To Use Them)
=============================================================
The programs in this directory are part of the extensive test suite of
the Parma Polyhedra Library (PPL). They have various origins:
1) some have been written to test the expressivity of the library;
2) some have been written to reproduce bugs that have now been fixed;
3) some have been written in order to increase the proportion of the
library's code exercised by test suite.
Regardless of their origin, they are only used for the regression
testing of the library. For this reason, we do not pay much attention
to them; we simply keep adding new tests to the test suite and, once
in, they stay there forever. Despite any defects, they serve this
purpose well.
On the other hand, in order to get an idea of how to use the PPL,
several new users have found it convenient to take one of these test
programs, change it a bit, and then try to compile it. If you want to
do something similar, here is some advice that may help you get
something working and completely self-contained in a matter of
minutes:
a) Replace the line
#include "ppl_test.hh"
with
#include <ppl.hh>
b) Erase the line reading
set_handlers();
c) Either remove the `TRY' and `CATCH' macro invocations from the program
or substitute `TRY' with `try' and `CATCH' with something like
catch (const std::exception& e) {
cerr << "std::exception caught: "
<< e.what() << " (type == " << typeid(e).name() << ")"
<< endl;
exit(1);
}
catch (...) {
cerr << "unknown exception caught"
<< endl;
exit(1);
}
d) If you want to print something make sure the expansion of the `NOISY'
macro evaluates to true; add the line
using namespace Parma_Polyhedra_Library::IO_Operators;
just after the other two using directives of the program; and then
use the PPL output facilities directly. For instance, the effect of a
line like
print_constraints(ph, "*** ph ***");
can be obtained, more or less, by replacing it with
cout << "*** ph ***" << endl << ph.constraints() << endl;
Similarly, a line of the form
print_generators(ph, "*** ph ***");
can be replaced by
cout << "*** ph ***" << endl << ph.generators() << endl;
e) Compile the program with a command like
g++ mytest.cc -o mytest -lppl -lgmpxx -lgmp
f) Run `mytest' and enjoy!
