In response to this comment #413 (comment):
I thought about having a simple way to test specializations: If we had one test function testing all specializations, we would have an easy way to quickcheck specializations for our iterators.
We already had quite a bit in place, so I took it and streamlined it a bit.
fold
is tested by remembering all elements provided to the closure (instead of only XORing elements).size_hint
, some redundant lifetimes, superfluous arguments)If we decide to do it like this, we can, in a future commit, just do the following for all iterators (possibly via a macro) to test specializations uniformly (and hopefully reliably):
This way, we would also test methods that are not even specialized, but for simplicity, I'd be willing to accept this. If we see that it slows things down considerably, we could still devise a simple solution that would allow to specify the methods to be tested.
