| 1 | This directory contains a partial Common Lisp standards compliance |
|---|
| 2 | test suite. |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | To run the tests, load doit.lsp. This will load and |
|---|
| 5 | run the tests. To just load the tests, load gclload1.lsp |
|---|
| 6 | and gclload2.lsp. |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | Individual tests may be run by (rt:do-test '<test name>). |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | Tests can be invoked from the makefile setting the enviroment variable |
|---|
| 11 | LISP to the lisp executable to be tested, then invoking |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | make test |
|---|
| 14 | Run tests with test bodies EVALed. |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | make test-compiled |
|---|
| 17 | Run tests with test bodies compiled before being EVALed. |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | Please tell me when you find incorrect test cases. |

| 24 | -------------------------------- |

| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | (30 Jun 2003) I've decided to add metainformation to the tests, |
|---|
| 27 | in the form of :<attribute> <value> pairs after DEFTEST. Also, |
|---|
| 28 | I've added a DEFNOTE form to define note objects whose names |
|---|
| 29 | can be attached to properties of tests, to enable selective |
|---|
| 30 | disabling of classes of tests. |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | The file doit.lsp disables some contentious tests under certain |
|---|
| 33 | implementations using the note mechanism. If any implementor |
|---|
| 34 | wishes that some of these tests be inhibited in their implementation, |
|---|
| 35 | please contact me and I will add code to do so. |

| 39 | NOTE!!! |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | This test suite is not intended to rank Common Lisp implementations. |
|---|
| 42 | The tests have not be selected to reflect the importance or |
|---|
| 43 | relative frequency of different CL features. Implementations may |
|---|
| 44 | even have extended the CL standard (arguably a good thing) in |
|---|
| 45 | a way that causes certain tests to fail. |
