Dear all,
I'm putting the finishing touches to a Posix-conformant boost::glob function that I'd like to submit to Boost (assuming there's some interest). However, before I do so, I'd like to get the regression tests running smoothly.
Currently my 'test' directory contains: $ ls .oo* foo* foo1bar foo bar foo!bar foo]bar foo*bar foocbar foo.hpp fooabar foo-bar foo?bar foo{bar foo\bar foo.cpp .oobar foo^bar foo,bar foo[bar foo}bar foobbar foo.cxx
All 20 of these files have zero size; the idea is to test boost::glob's ability to find matches. However, I'd rather not have them as part of the library. How do I get the test framework to create them for me before running a test?
Regards, Angus
Boost.Test does not have an ability to create bunch of files for testing. Why don't you create them yourself in your test program? If you see something that worth reusing we could discuss it. Gennadiy.
