Hi, per posix.mak:

# make std/somemodule.test => only builds and unittests std.somemodule

I just tried:

make std/algorithm/comparison.test

and it seems to build and run all tests. Before I look into it closer, any known change that affected this? Thanks.

Hi Andrei,

Are you confusing _building_ the standard library with _testing_ it? This is what happens on my machine [1] with master:

Note that we only run unittests of std/algorithm/comparison.d, but need to build Phobos. If you don't change any other parts of Phobos, you can typically get away with

dmd -unittest -main -run std/algorithm/comparison.d

Though while it sometimes might work with the latest relase, on my system I get linker errors as things have changed:

---
comparison.o:std/algorithm/comparison.d:function
_D3std4math__T11approxEqualTdTdTdZQuFNaNbNiNfddddZb: error: undefined
reference to '_D3std4math4fabsFNaNbNiNedZd'
comparison.o:std/algorithm/comparison.d:function
_D3std4math__T11approxEqualTdTdTdZQuFNaNbNiNfddddZb: error: undefined
reference to '_D3std4math4fabsFNaNbNiNedZd'
comparison.o:std/algorithm/comparison.d:function
_D3std4math__T11approxEqualTdTdTdZQuFNaNbNiNfddddZb: error: undefined
reference to '_D3std4math4fabsFNaNbNiNedZd'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
---

So you'll need to make sure to use the latest DMD which by default includes your freshly built Phobos library. Then you don't need to rebuild Phobos constantly.

Cheers,

Seb

Thanks. Indeed, actually I noticed just now that this happens only on OSX. On Linux things work as expected.

E.g. on OSX (I won't paste the entire log) make prints this while building std/algorithm/comparison.test:

../dmd/generated/osx/release/64/dmd  -conf= -I../druntime/import  -w -de -preview=dip1000 -preview=dtorfields -m64 -fPIC -transition=complex -O -release -unittest -version=StdUnittest -c -ofgenerated/osx/release/64/unittest/std/bitmanip.o std/bitmanip.d

And so on for all other modules. These lines don't appear on Linux.

Update: it was a scripting error on my side - things work fine on OSX, too.
