Dear.all,
I have a problem that I solved in a fairly acceptable way, but I would like to hear from you if there are some kind of "better practices" that I could use.
The problem is this: sometimes, while writing some software, I develop some packages that could be used elsewhere, so I "extract" them in a library of their own with their own project file that is "with-ed" inside the project file of the larger software.
When I "isolate" the package into its own library, I like also to add some testing code. The problem is that if I declare the project to be a library project (which is just natural) I cannot have an executable.
In the past, I solved this problem by declaring the project to be a non-library one; nowadays I declare it to be a library project and then add a folder test/ with its src/ folder with the test programs and a specific project file that "with-s" the library project.
Let me try drawing a picture relative to a library "foo"
foolib/
...|
...+-- foolib.gpr
...+-- src/
...+-- obj/
...+-- test/
..........|
..........+--foolib_test.gpr
..........+--obj/
..........+--src/
................|
...............+-- foo_test_1.adb
...............+-- foo_test_2.adb
...............+-- foo_test_3.adb
I hope you got the idea.
Do you have any suggestion about a different organization? Do there exist some kind of "best practice" for this?
Thank you in advance for your help
Riccardo
