[psoc-2008] GSoC 2008 Week 7 Report: S09 (data structures)

[Adrian Kreher]

S09 describes the data structures in Perl 6, covering topics such as low-level 
data types, multidimensional arrays, and user-indexed arrays. Without a 
doubt, this is the most undertested synopsis so far.

I wrote 98 tests on Monday alone. Admittedly, they were the same 7 cases over 
and over, but they needed to be tested. I then added another 27 cases for 
arrays of fixed sizes and types, and then another 10 tonight for basic 
multidimensional arrays. I could probably write another 100 or so on this 
synopsis, too.

My total for the week is 135, which should help for those less productive 
weeks. Unfortunately, I only scratched the surface for tests to write for 
this synopsis, so I plan to return to it if I feel unproductive during an 
upcoming week, or perhaps towards the end if I have spare time (yeah 
right ;) ).

This brings my total for the summer to 507, which puts me nearly on track for 
the summer. I did not do any fudging this week since I did not see any that 
was related to this section.

I will be missing a few days next week, but I hope that it is as productive as 
this one was. I will be covering S04 next week, which is Blocks and 
Statements. I will be doing S04 and S05 like S02/S03, which gives each of 
them 10.5 days instead of the usual 7.

It is very likely that I will be taking a week's vacation in the first week of 
August, which will eat up my slack time. This is unfortunate, since I could 
put it to good use (especially with S09's testing possibilities), but this is 
why I planned slack time.
