test files for newlisp source parser?

[cormullion]

I'm working on a source code parser, and I'm wondering whether there's such a thing as an official - or unofficial -  test file that contains every possible syntax, such that you could run it to see whether everything has been parsed properly? For example, numbers in various formats, strings in various guises, and so on...



Also, what happens when newLISP sees [CMD] [/CMD] in a source file?  I know what happens when you're working at a terminal, but what about non-interactively?

Use the source Luke er. cormullion ;)



In the source code distribution, Lutz has a series of "qa" files.

http://newlisp.nfshost.com/downloads/development/newlisp-9.9.5.tgz">//http://newlisp.nfshost.com/downloads/development/newlisp-9.9.5.tgz



(Note; Most of these files have NO .lsp extension)



The two main files are:

qa-dot -> run tests for countries that use decimal point numbers

qa-comma -> run tests for countries that use commas in numbers



And there are aeveral other files for machine specific, or more in-depth tests.



qa-cilk

qa-dictionary

qa-lfs

qa-local-domain

qa-net

qa-ref

qa-setsig

qa-utf16path.lsp

qa-utf8

qa-xml

that's a good idea - thanks. I've never looked at the source...
