Testing

Build and Run ALL Unit Test Cases

By default, all the test cases are first built and then run under Valgrind. To build and run all the unit test cases :

make check

PARALLEL MAKE

If your machine has more than 8 GB DRAM and 4 physical cores, you can increase the concurrency settings of make.

make check -j4

Build and Run INDIVIDUAL Unit Test Case

Here's the command to build an individual test:

make $TEST_NAME

EXAMPLE:

make sample_test

To run an individual test using ctest, list the test cases:

ctest -N

Then run it thus:

ctest -I 26,26 -V

Valgrind Command

ADVANCED: Here's the valgrind command to run an individual test (once it has already been built) :

valgrind "--trace-children=yes" "--leak-check=full" "--track-origins=yes" "--soname-synonyms=somalloc=*jemalloc*" "--error-exitcode=1" "--suppressions=/$LOCATION_OF_PELOTON_SOURCE_DIR/third_party/valgrind/valgrind.supp /$LOCATION_OF_PELOTON_BUILD_DIR/test/$TEST_NAME

EXAMPLE:

valgrind "--trace-children=yes" "--leak-check=full" "--track-origins=yes" "--soname-synonyms=somalloc=*jemalloc*" "--error-exitcode=1" "--suppressions=/home/parallels/git/peloton/third_party/valgrind/valgrind.supp" ./test/sample_test
