This lets the compiler do better at + optimizing the production code, while enabling us to take more + radical measures to let the unit tests test things. + + - The production builds no longer include functions used only + in the unit tests; all functions exposed from a module for + unit-testing only are now static in production builds. + + - Add an --enable-coverage configuration option to make the unit + tests (and a new src/or/tor-cov target) to build with gcov test + coverage support. + + o Testing: + + - We now have rudimentary function mocking support that our unit + tests can use to test functions in isolation. Function mocking + lets the tests temporarily replace a function's dependencies with + stub functions, so that the tests can check the function without + invoking the other functions it calls. + + - Add more unit tests for the <circid,channel>->circuit map, and + the destroy-cell-tracking code to fix bug 7912. + |
