Exam Review 3 April

aarne.ra...@gmail.com (Aarne) — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:36:26 UT

Dear All,

The exam review is on 3 April at 10-12 in my office, 6106 in the EDIT
building. This information was given on the exam question sheet, but
was probably not very visible, since we have received many questions
about it.

I will have all exams in your office, and you can come and discuss

Re: good7.fun in lab3

Right: this can take a long time with call by name but should be
almost immediate with call by value. So it's enough if you manage to
run it with call by value. Can you see any difference? You can also
try with a smaller number and see what the difference is then.

Aarne.

Re: Lab 3 -- Log of test-suite

aa...@chalmers.se (Aarne Ranta) — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 16:13:50 UT

Yes, this is the right thing to do, since we don't have a test script for
this lab.

Lab 3 -- Log of test-suite

tho...@student.chalmers.se (thomas) — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:42:44 UT

It says in the lab description:
------------------------------ -------------
Include a log on the test run, showing the call of lab3 for every program
in the testsuite.
------------------------------ -------------
What does this mean? Should we just make a file called "log" and write
things down (copy), or should it be done in some special way?

good7.fun in lab3

ioso...@gmail.com (Ioannis Sotiriadis) — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 11:10:45 UT

Hi,
My lab partner and I have a problem in Lab 3 with good7.fun. Instead
of getting a result 1 we get infinite loop. The thing is that it seems
the number 111111 is too big. it works properly with a smaller number
instead. Should we try to fix it and have our stack not to overflow or
is it ok like that? (we are coding in Java)

Test suite lab 2

gregoire.det...@gmail.com (Grégoire Détrez) — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 09:38:24 UT

Some of you mentioned an inconsistency in the testsuite for lab2: although
the lab says that you can optionally check for the presence of a return
statement, not all god programs contained one. This is now fixed, the new
testsuite is available

Re: Problems reading .input from testsuite with Haskell

gregoire.det...@gmail.com (Grégoire Détrez) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:29:42 UT

How did you build the test suite ? In the latest package, there is a
makefile with the proper command, does that help ? Otherwise, could you
come in the lab session this afternoon ?

Re: New test suite for lab 2

gregoire.det...@gmail.com (Grégoire Détrez) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:27:57 UT

No, you're right, this is a problem.
There was actually a bug in the test suite: it counted as correct a program
that returns the correct output, even if it exits with a non zero value.
This is now fixed and I also updated the input and output files. Thanks.

Re: Problems reading .input from testsuite with Haskell

dj.bi...@gmail.com (Tobias Svensson) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:18:47 UT

For more specific info, when I compile the testsuite, it gets stuck on
-any- test that has input defined in its .input file.

Re: Problems reading .input from testsuite with Haskell

dj.bi...@gmail.com (Tobias Svensson) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:17:18 UT

Thanks,
unfortunely that doesn't solve the problem.

However, I just found that the testsuite works if you run it in GHCi
instead of compile it:

$ cd testsuite/
$ ghci progs-test-lab2.hs
Prelude Main> :run main ../

This is because compiled programs handle IO differently:

Re: New test suite for lab 2

dave.alca...@gmail.com (David García Sánchez) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 10:28:46 UT

I've self-answered. The test passes if I make the interpreter to behave
like that when empty input is found.
Sorry for the "e-mail noise".
