Boost.MultiArray: Test Descriptions

The following is a description of the test cases that are included with Boost.Multi_Array (B.M).

Terminology

The following list is to clarify the use of terms in the following descriptions:

Acceptance Tests

The following tests exercise various features of Boost.Multi_Array to ensure proper operation at run time.
Program Description
libs/multi_array/test/constructors.cpp Exercises all of the constructors for B.M primary components.
libs/multi_array/test/access.cpp Tests operator[] and operator() on all B.M array types.
libs/multi_array/test/compare.cpp Tests all comparison operators for the B.M primary components.
libs/multi_array/test/iterators.cpp Test all iterator traversal and access functionality for all B.M array types.
libs/multi_array/test/slice.cpp Test all variations of subview generation for all B.M array types.
libs/multi_array/test/assign.cpp Tests out operator=() on the various B.M array types.
libs/multi_array/test/assign_to_array.cpp Ensure that a multi_array can be constructed from any other array type.
libs/multi_array/test/index_bases.cpp Test re-indexing functionality for the B.M primary components.
libs/multi_array/test/storage_order.cpp Test variations on storage_order for the B.M primary components.
libs/multi_array/test/reshape.cpp Test re-shaping functionality for the B.M primary components.
libs/multi_array/test/range1.cpp Test the various syntaxes for specifying index ranges using array::index_range.
libs/multi_array/test/idxgen1.cpp Test the array::index_gen objects.
libs/multi_array/test/stl_interaction.cpp Test interaction between array types and STL containers.
libs/multi_array/test/resize.cpp Test the multi_array class' resizing functionality.
libs/multi_array/test/concept_checks.cpp Ensure that all the array types meet the defined Concepts.
libs/multi_array/test/generative_tests.hpp A test harness used to simplify testing operations upon all array types. Used by slice.cpp, iterators.cpp, and access.cpp.

Compile-Fail Tests

The following tests check to make sure that various constructs not accepted by the library fail to compile. Each test checks only one fault in order to more easily ensure the cause of the compilation failure.

libs/multi_array/test/fail_cbracket.cpp
libs/multi_array/test/fail_ref_cbracket.cpp
operator[] on a const array must not modify elements.
libs/multi_array/test/fail_cdata.cpp

array::data() const must return a pointer to const data.
libs/multi_array/test/fail_citerator.cpp
libs/multi_array/test/fail_ref_citerator.cpp
const_iterator must not be convertible to iterator.
libs/multi_array/test/fail_cparen.cpp
libs/multi_array/test/fail_ref_cparen.cpp
operator() on a const array must not modify elements.
libs/multi_array/test/fail_criterator.cpp

const_reverse_iterator must not be convertible to reverse_iterator.
libs/multi_array/test/fail_csubarray.cpp
libs/multi_array/test/fail_ref_csubarray.cpp
const_subarray must not be convertible to subarray.
libs/multi_array/test/fail_csubarray2.cpp
libs/multi_array/test/fail_ref_csubarray2.cpp
array::operator[] const must not be convertible to subarray.
libs/multi_array/test/fail_csubarray3.cpp
libs/multi_array/test/fail_ref_csubarray3.cpp
const_subarray into an array must not modify elements.
libs/multi_array/test/fail_cview.cpp
libs/multi_array/test/fail_ref_cview.cpp
const_array_view of an array must not modify elements.
libs/multi_array/test/fail_cview2.cpp
libs/multi_array/test/fail_ref_cview2.cpp
array::operator[] const must not be convertible to array_view.
libs/multi_array/test/fail_cview3.cpp
