Franz's tester.cl

Hi,

Franz's open source page includes an ammended-LGPL test harness in a single
file, tester.cl:

http://opensource.franz.com/test/index.html

A search of lisp-hug on gmane, and a search on cliki, found no hits for
tester.cl. I ported it to LispWorks. The port performs the same as all the
tests in the examples on http://opensource.franz.com/test/index.html except
for the final one. In that test, ACL traps a (break...). "CLHS 9.2 break"
says "...goes directly into the debugger without allowing any possibility of
interception by programmed error-handling facilities." so perhaps ACL is
non-conforming.

I renamed tester.cl to tester.lisp to match everything else I use.

Tester.cl uses the if* macro. I seem to recall seeing it posted somewhere but
can't find it now... probably night blindness. Is the macro available? In the
meantime, I replaced if* with cond.

Tested under LWW 4.3.7.

Feedback is more than welcome.

Jeff Caldwell

AW: Franz's tester.cl

I think I saw it in portable allegroserve distribution.

You can find the if* macro at http://www.franz.com/~jkf/ifstar.txt

You may want to look at my port called ptester (portable test). It
runs on lispworks, sbcl, cmucl, and openmcl. I wrote a some
compatibility functions for some of the non-ansi parts of
tester.

Re: Franz's tester.cl

Thanks, Andreas, Barry, and Kevin. I appreciate the feedback regarding the
tester.cl program.
