Re: Writing tests about aliased functions

Hi Olivier, As per as i know, we don't write test for aliased function if test are existing tests for original function. If there are no testcases for either (orignal or aliased) of them then we should consider writing test cases. I recall writing tests for is_int() and its aliases, namely is_integer() & is_long(). While we wrote tests for is_int() we made sure that we also called its alias in the same test. Consider looking at is_int.phpt under ext/standard/tests/general_functions. I am not sure how fast the gcov data is refreshed on web. Request other to comment here. you can always do a local gcov build by extracting source from CVS (which is latest) or downloading from snaps.php.net (which is few hour delayed) and find out the current coverge. Hope this helps. with Regards, Raghubansh On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 3:45 PM, Olivier Doucet <webmaster@ajeux.com> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I would like to know if phptests should cover aliased PHP functions like > get_required_files(). > I can see at > > http://gcov.php.net/viewer.php?version=PHP_5_3&func=tested_functions > that > many functions are not tested, and some of them are aliases.
