Description

This ticket moves to Trac discussion originally found in  RT #46807.

In that ticket, Paul Cochrane reported a TODO comment found in t/pmc/threads.t:

rework tests since we don't really have thread types?

I later commented that I didn't know what that meant, and that's where discussion lapsed twelve months ago.

So, can anyone tell us: Do we really have thread types?

The TODO comment was added in r14131, and it refers to a couple of tests (directly below the comment) named "thread type 1" and "thread type 2".

When the tests were added (in r4993), the only apparent difference between the two "types" was whether the thread function took any arguments or not. The first test didn't pass an argument; the second test did. Today, that remains the only difference. (The two tests have since grown into 3, but the distinction is still the same.) So it seems safe to assume that's what was referred to by "thread type".

Since that's still a valid distinction, it seems reasonable to keep testing both cases. So, I don't think any refactoring of the tests is required.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • priority changed from normal to trivial
  • resolution set to fixed
  • patch set to applied

Replying to Infinoid:

Since that's still a valid distinction, it seems reasonable to keep testing both cases. So, I don't think any refactoring of the tests is required.

I'll take that as authorization to delete the mysterious comment and close the ticket.

Done in r45260. Thank you very much.
