19:57.34 CIA-23 BRL-CAD: 03carlmoore * r51770 10/brlcad/trunk/src/conv/bot_shell-vtk.1: correct spelling of what was 'ancountered','outout'
20:22.01 CIA-23 BRL-CAD: 03crdueck * r51771 10/brlcad/trunk/include/vmath.h: update HEQUAL and V2EQUAL to use the HNEAR_EQUAL and V2NEAR_EQUAL macros respectively
20:29.34 CIA-23 BRL-CAD: 03crdueck * r51772 10/brlcad/trunk/src/libged/analyze.c: revert r51767, HEQUAL now uses the HNEAR_EQUAL macro

21:25.38 brlcad waves back to DarkCalf
21:26.46 brlcad andrei_: ask those questions, very interested in those unit tests
21:27.08 brlcad hopefully as many distinct and comprehensive tests.. :)
21:29.27 brlcad andrei_: you wouldn't be writing unit tests correctly if you didn't uncover SEVERAL ways to produce a segfault
21:30.41 brlcad when you find a segfault case, I suggest trying to debug the issue to see if you can make a minimal patch that prevents the crash
21:30.54 brlcad the test itself (crashing or not) is good to go
21:35.44 andrei_ hello brlcad
21:35.44 andrei_ so
21:35.48 andrei_ if I have in a tes
21:35.50 andrei_ t
21:36.38 andrei_ let s say, two cases of segfault and the second one is never reached by the first one, should I submmit it like that ? Or should I fix the " minimal patch" and submit it after?
21:37.08 andrei_ what I meant is that a program exists when it encounters a segfault. It never reaches the other case

21:45.01 andrei_ another question : pkg_conn has a rather large number of fields. There are several functions that receive only pkg_conn type parameter. Should I test every field from pkg_conn ?

21:57.55 DarkCalf brlcad, are you guys in san diego?
22:12.32 ``Erik some of 'em are in la for siggraph
22:14.54 ``Erik andrei_: leave it so both cases are in there, when the code the first one exercises gets fixed, the next will be ready to go
22:16.56 ``Erik for the pkg_conn fields, it's better to test too much than too little.. fill in as much as you can :)
22:17.34 ``Erik if you can figure out how to get 100% coverage (every line of code exercised, every branch tried), that'd be awesome
22:18.34 andrei_ right, thanks :)
