Raw Normal View History

Execute every documented example as a test docs/ and README.md carry 85 fenced blocks. Every one was checked by hand exactly once, when it was written, which is not a standard that survives a changing interpreter -- and four were already wrong: two transcripts showing a leading space PRINT does not emit, akbasic_TextSink in README.md missing the two members it had grown hours earlier, and FILTER's refusal quoted with wording the code does not use. tests/docs_examples.sh reads a fence-tag vocabulary and runs what it finds. BASIC programs and transcripts run and are byte-compared against an `output` block; C snippets compile with -fsyntax-only against the real include path, which CMake writes out because it is transitive through akerror, akstdlib and akgl; shell blocks run in a sandbox. Anything that would reconfigure the build tree, hit the network or re-enter the suite is tagged norun with the reason in MAINTENANCE.md, and the two cmake blocks stay hand-maintained by decision. An untagged block is a failure rather than a default, and the pass line reports what it executed by kind. Both exist because the way a harness like this dies is by quietly matching nothing and passing -- which it duly did on the first CTest run, where a generator expression evaluating to nothing still contributed an empty argument that the script read as a filename. The count is what caught it. The excerpt check earns its own mention: a block tagged `c excerpt=include/akbasic/sink.h` must still appear in that header, comments and whitespace ignored. Compiling it would only redefine the type, so a compile check could not have found the stale struct, and did not. Registered as the CTest case docs_examples in both configurations. Fixing the four wrong examples turned up two interpreter defects, fixed in the previous commit and recorded in TODO.md section 8. MAINTENANCE.md is new: the fence-tag reference, what to do when the case fails, and the conventions that until now only existed inside source comments -- the three test lists and how two of them invert "passed", the sorted verb table, that a golden file is never edited to suit this interpreter, and that a fix gets mutation-checked with a file copy rather than git checkout.

# Run every example in the documentation and check what it produces.
#
# The guide in docs/ and the walkthrough in README.md are full of programs,
# transcripts, C snippets and shell commands. Every one of them was checked by
# hand once, when it was written, and that is not a standard that survives
# contact with a changing interpreter. Three of them were already wrong when this
# harness was written -- two transcripts carrying a leading space PRINT does not
# emit, and a struct in README.md that had grown two members hours earlier.
#
# Documentation goes stale because the *code* moved, not because somebody edited
# a chapter, so this runs on every ctest rather than on a docs path filter.
#
# **Exit status is the number of failed examples**, the house convention.
#
# The contract with the documentation is a set of fence info strings. They are
# ordinary markdown, they render as syntax highlighting on the forge, and they
# sit next to the thing they describe. MAINTENANCE.md is the reference; the short
# version:
#
# ```basic a whole program: run it, and it must not error
# ```basic repl input lines fed to a fresh interpreter on stdin
# ```basic norun a fragment, shown but not run
# ```basic requires=akgl only run in the -DAKBASIC_WITH_AKGL=ON build
# ```basic requires=noakgl only run in the build with no devices attached
# ```output the exact stdout of the block above, byte for byte
# ```c a translation unit: compile it with -fsyntax-only
# ```c wrap=NAME the same, wrapped in tests/docs_preludes/NAME.pre/.post
# ```c excerpt=PATH must appear verbatim in PATH; not compiled
# ```c norun shown but not compiled
# ```sh run in a sandbox; must exit 0
# ```sh setup=NAME the same, after tests/docs_setups/NAME.sh
# ```sh norun destructive, networked, or re-enters this suite
# ```cmake never executed; hand-maintained, by decision
#
# A block with **no** info string is a hard error. That is deliberate: the
# failure mode this whole harness exists to avoid is passing because it quietly
# ran nothing, so an unannotated block is a missing decision rather than a
# default.
