[PD-dev] "load every help" logs now posted to autobuild.puredata.info

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey all,

I've been working a bit on some testing scripts for Pd-extended.   
Currently, the main one is load_every_help.py, which does just that:  
it loads every help file included in Pd-extended, and checks the  
output.  If there is output, it adds that output to the log.  The log  
is uploaded to the auto-build site for that day.

http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/2011-10-11/logs/load_every_help_macosx106-x86_64_2011-10-11_17.28.53.log

Here, for example, you can see lots of interesting things in the 10.6  
64-bit build. For example:


loading: /Users/pd/auto-build/pd-extended/packages/darwin_app/build/ 
Pd-0.43.1-extended-20111011.app/Contents/Resources/extra/bsaylor/pvoc~- 
help.pd
warning: extern using garray_getfloatarray() won't work in 64-bit  
version


And here is the use of a function deprecated in 10.5 and removed in  
10.6:
