<h2>Synopsis</h2>
<p><b><tt>eh_test [-n &lt;iterations&gt;] [-s &lt;size&gt;] [-l] [-e]
[-q]/[-v] [-t]</tt></b></p>
<h4>Options:</h4>
<ul>
<li><tt>[<b>-n &lt;iterations&gt;</b>] </tt>: number of test
iterations, default==100;</li>
<li><tt>[<b>-s &lt;size&gt;</b>]</tt> : base value for random
container sizes, default==1000;</li>
<li><tt>[<b>-e</b>]</tt> : don't throw exceptions, test for leak in
normal conditions;</li>
<li><tt>[<b>-q</b>]</tt> : quiet mode;</li>
<li><tt>[<b>-v</b>]</tt> : verbose mode (default);</li>
<li><tt>[<b>-t</b>]</tt> : track each allocation;</li>
<li><tt>[<b>test_name</b> [<b>test_name</b>...]]</tt> : run <b>test_name</b>
tests (<b>default</b>==all). <br>
Names are : <b>algo, vector, bit_vector, list, slist, deque, set,
map, hash_set, hash_map, rope, string, bitset</b>.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Story</h2>
<p>The testsuite was written by Dave Abrahams for testing of proposed EH
for SGI STL . Shortly, EH&nbsp;was merged into STLport v1.0. That wasn't
long until EH was introduced in&nbsp; SGI&nbsp;STL&nbsp;distribution,
too (a bit different approach was used). This test helped to locate and
fix some EH&nbsp;bugs in 2.0-2.02 releases of SGI STL. As a side effect,
it reveals problems in some compiler's EH&nbsp;implementation (typically
they show up when you are trying turning on some optimizations).</p>
<h2>Portability</h2>
<p>EH&nbsp;testsuite can be compiled and run with the following
compilers :</p>
<ul>
<li>SunPro CC 4.1-4.2 (passed OK)</li>
<li>Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 1 (passed OK)</li>
<li>Visual C++ 4.1 (hashed container tests won't compile, compiler bug
produce false alarms for list test, other passed.)</li>
<li>Visual C++ 5.0 (passed OK).</li>
<li>Borland C++ 5.0 (passed OK).</li>
<li>gcc-2.7.2 (without EH, actually ;))</li>
<li>egcs-970922 (fails to run, dumps core in __throw implemetation).</li>
</ul>
<p>Makefiles for <b>gcc</b>, <b>SUNPro</b>, <b>Visual C++</b> compilers
are provided with the suite. Look for <i>.mak</i> files in the
distribution. It should be not difficult to adjust one of them to your
compiler.</p>
<h2>How To</h2>
<p>EH testsuite comes in directory <b>test/eh</b> with your STLport
distribution. Edit appropriate makefile to fit your compiler and include
directories . After you've done, try "<i>make check</i>". That
should build test executable and run it with default options (see
Synopsis). If writing your own makefile or working from within some IDE,
you should specify the following switches to get proper testing :</p>
<p><tt>_STLP_USE_NEWALLOC</tt> - use new-based allocator (that will
promptly throw on common test scheme). Otherwise, only
assignment/comparison will throw,</p>
<p><tt>_STLP_USE_DEBUG_ALLOC</tt> - to catch other potential memory
problems.</p>
<p><tt>EH_NEW_HEADERS - </tt>if you wish to use new-style C++ headers.
This option may be useful to test some other STL&nbsp;implementation.</p>
<p>For Borland C++ 5.x , you have to <tt>#define _STLP_NO_NAMESPACES</tt>
to compile.</p>
<p>For 16-bit platforms, you have to #define NO_FAST_ALLOCATOR to
compile.</p>
<p>The testsuite may be used to test not only STLport adaptation against
particular compiler. It does not contain any adaptation-specific code,
so it may be used with regular SGI release (note <tt>_STLP_USE_NEWALLOC </tt>has
no effect<tt> </tt>then) or with other STL&nbsp;implementation (hash
containers and rope may not work).</p>
