[Nexus-developers] napi tests and documentation

[Peterson, Peter F.]

Mark,

The file that you mention is not currently in CVS. Please add it.

About the documentation. If the types change from compiler to compiler (and between platforms), then why are they hard coded in napi4_test and napi5_test? Also, shouldn't the test also try out the unsigned versions of the various integers?

  This has already been done, in a way. The version of napi_test I have,
  and, I believe is in the cvs, decides from its name, napi_test or 
  napi5_test, what to test.

  This is dicey as these things can differ between platforms and even
  between compiler implementations on the same platform.
