Function Documentation

void mbl_test_save_measurement	(	const vcl_string &	measurement_path,
		double	value
	)

A historical measurement recording framework.

The function will append the measurement to the file specified by $CMAKE_VAR{VXL_MBL_TEST_SAVE_MEASUREMENT_PATH}/measurement_path. The value is also copied to stdout where it can be automatically picked up by CTest and Dart. We suggest formatting the measurement path as follows "path/from/code/root/to/test_source_filename_minus_extension/MEASUREMENT_DESCRIPTION", e.g. in the file "$CODE_SRC/algo/krr/tests/test_krr_optimise_model_parameters.cxx"

   mbl_test_save_measurement("algo/krr/tests/test_krr_optimise_model_parameters/Point_To_Point_RMS_Error",value);
   

Currently the function will append the measurement to the file specified by ${MBL_TEST_SAVE_MEASUREMENT_PATH}/measurement_path, and exports it to Dart. In the longer term it may save the value via Dart2.

template<class S >

bool mbl_test_summaries_are_equal	(	const S &	a,
		const S &	b,
		const char **	exceptions = 0
	)

Test if the summaries of two objects are the same.

Both objects a and b must be the same class, and have vsl_print_summary defined for them.

Parameters:

exceptions

is an optional, 0 terminated, list of c-strings.

Any pair of lines from the two summaries that don't match each other, but do match one of the exception regular expressions will be ignored.

  base_class_wibble *base_ptr, *base_ptr2;
  ...
  // Compare but ignore all lines containing the string "Model address:" :
  const char *exceptions[] = { "Model address:", 0}; // Don't forget terminating 0

  TEST("saved and loaded extractors are identical",
       mbl_test_summaries_are_equal(base_ptr,base_ptr2, exceptions),
       true);
