Extra params for test

I think it would be useful if running TEST had some optional arguments which can be used to suppress some categories of test. That would be very nice in the case of debugging. For example than you can simple test without the time consuming tests for convex hull. And also the valgrind outputs would be more clean than.

Yes, that sounds great. If you have an idea how we should do this then you can implement it.

Mathemalsky commented

My idea is to have several sets of test:

  • full is the default set and tests everything
  • aal tests just the algorithms from the AAL
  • cgl tests just the algorithms from the CGL an the algorithms from VLL they depend on
  • an argument for every single algorithm to test only this one

I think I can start implementing that soon.

Maybe we could define some 3 character abbreviation for each algorithm that can be used as an argument. Then we could call

./TEST CHJ CHC SCG

for testing CONVEXHULL_JARVIS, CONVEXHULL_CHAN and SETCOVER_GREEDY.

Mathemalsky commented

Also an idea. Maybe we can also do both.

MilchRatchet commented

Yes, that idea was meant for "an argument for every single algorithm to test only this one".
