Examples to unittest [part 5]

[wilzbach]

Last part of my sweep throught std for replaceable docstring unittests.

There is still one pattern that might be incorporated in the future - multiple examples with text between them, e.g.

---

Some intro ....
.... Amazing module ....

assert(a == 1)

.... another use case ....

assert(a == 1)

Apparently the change in uni.d causes auto-tester to fail - seems a bit weird ...
Has anyone an idea?

I recall a lot of dark magic involved to work around forward reference errors and link failures in std.uni, this might be triggering some of unresolved bugs in the compiler still.

[wilzbach]

splitted into std.socket to #4111 to isolate the failing problem.

can someone of the admins tag this with "FP magic from dmd"?

How this PR is related to Floating Point (FP)?

Looks like I need to change the label name

Oh I thought FP means "Function pointer" (or sth. similar). Sorry!
It still fails due to some magic related to dmd, though ...

I don't think so. This is because we have bad build scripts. I had the same problem with another PR. Probably our build scripts link old library when use new source code. So linker can not find a new name.

So how do we move forward with this problem? On my machine make -f posix.mak std/uni.test passes.

No hope for now

Maybe try rebasing onto latest master and see if that makes a difference? It's a long shot, but maybe it's an unrelated problem or something broken in Phobos that got fixed since?

[quickfur]

FWIW, I ran the entire Phobos test suite on my machine (Linux/64bit), and there were some compile errors (not the same as the autotester failure though), but after rebasing onto master, the testsuite passed with flying colors. Just sayin'.

Done. Let's see & hope for the best :)

[wilzbach]

Okay the problem is that d_do_test.d (part of dmd, run by make -f posix.mak auto-tester-test) uses std.uni and the linking doesn't work.

I opened an issue at dmd and will close the issue now until this is fixed in dmd.
