* Removing symbols that are not being tested
* Removing symbols used in zstdcli, fileio, dibio and benchzstd
* Removing symbols used in zbuff and add test-zbuff to travis
* Removing remaining symbols and adding unit tests instead
* Removing symbols test entirely
The regression tests run nightly or on the `regression`
branch for convenience. The results get uploaded as the
artifacts of the job. If they change, check the diff
printed in the job. If all is well, download the new
results and commit them to the repo.
This code will only run on a UNIX like platform. It
could be made to run on Windows, but I don't think that
it is necessary. It also uses C99.
* data: This module defines the data to run tests on.
It downloads data from a URL into a cache directory,
checks it against a checksum, and unpacks it. It also
provides helpers for accessing the data.
* config: This module defines the configs to run tests
with. A config is a set of API parameters and a set of
CLI flags.
* result: This module is a helper for method that defines
the result type.
* method: This module defines the compression methods
to test. It is what runs the regression test using the
data and the config. It reports the total compressed
size, or an error/skip.
* test: This is the test binary that runs the tests for
every (data, config, method) tuple, and prints the
results to the output file and stderr.
* results.csv: The results that the current commit is
expected to produce.
* Updates CircleCI to use workflows.
We can now specify any number of test jobs to run in parallel.
* Switch the image to `buildpack-deps:trusty` which is only 500 MB
instead of 7 GB, so that saves 7 minutes to download it if it isn't
already cached on the host.
* Publish the source tarball and sha256sum as artifacts.
* If the `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable is set, we will also
add the tarball + sha256sum to the tagged release, after manual
approval.
