GIT & Testing
Francisco Claude-Faust
The git repository is up in github and starting to populate ... this
will take a lot of time. Alex kindly added a readme.md with the goals
I told you in the invitation email.
To manage branches and all that stuff, we will use git-flow, you can
find the source in github (is hosted there). Alex gave a couple of
pointers in the wiki of libcds2 to documentation about using git and
git-flow (plus a little cheat sheet).
I added to the wiki a page including pointers on how to use gtest and
uploaded libcds.h (the header where we define how bits are read and
basic types) together with a test.
I also got news from Miguel Martinez-Prieto and Susana Ladra, both are
going to join :-). Susana is going to be in charge of binary
relations. Miguel is going to look after the labeled binary relations.
The short-term plan is the following:
I'll add a basic bitmap implementation (the one by Rodrigo Gonzalez,
ported). And after reviewing that part and pushing it to the master
branch, we could start working on structures that build on top of it.
This should take me about a week before having something ready, after
the weekend I pretend to upload a proposal.
Alex is trying to find out how to do code reviews, we will see how
that goes. We also discussed about RRR, mainly whether we would fix
the block size or support that as a parameter. The conclusion so far
is that we would like to support both (the block size right now allows
for good optimizations), we will look into templates to see if there
is a good way to provide both. In case we can't, I would vote for the
more efficient one.
Cheers,
Francisco.
