Huh?

It uses a sequence number to generate different ids for the unit tests. In the former, it's the 531st unit test, the latter, the first.

In both cases though, there's only one unit test. The only difference is how the files were compiled. What's the number after "bar" then? It's 16 in one case and 14 in the other. Atila

531 is the number across all modules, because they weren't separately compiled.

That's the length of the next token: __unittestL2_531 is 16 characters long, while __unittestL2_1 is 14 characters long. The FZv characters at the end are usually some kind of type mangling, I believe.

Which "all modules"? Phobos? druntime? The only `import` in that code is `import bar;`. Atila

Oh, I didn't read your previous posts carefully, I thought the 531 was from compiling everything together, but it looks it's from separate compilation. I guess it's generating a different number from somewhere else. What I know is that when I tried to separately compile druntime and phobos and use getUnitTests in the test runner, dmd would get confused because it would increment that number across all modules in the test runner (also the ordering of imported modules would matter), but the separately compiled modules unittests' would have much smaller numbers in their mangling. I'm guessing you're hitting some other version of the same problem with your example, though the underlying reason you're getting 531 might be different.

It's a global number in the compiler.

"31" adds 2 characters to the identifier

It sounds like the compiler is seeing different unit tests during the different compilation. But why is that the case. -- /Jacob Carlborg

Or like there's a global counter that is incremented for each unittest. A different order of traversal of unittests would result in a different mangled name for the same unittest in different runs.

The question is why it would be different. Here's a guess: * The compiler will perform semantic analysis of the code in the current module before processing any imports * It will also process all files on the command line before processing any imports * The compiler will process object.d before processing any other imports That would mean in the case when compiling foo.d during separate compilation it would process object.d before processing bar.d. That would mean the compiler is processing a lot unittest blocks through object.d and its imports before processing the unittest block in bar.d. -- /Jacob Carlborg

Simpler than that. Module foo.a imports std.stdio; module foo.b imports foo.a and std.path. When compiling separately, you're not necessarily changing the ordering property of the modules you run semantic on, but you are changing the set of modules.

I'm looking at Atila's original example. There's only one import, "bar". -- /Jacob Carlborg

As Walter notes, it's because the mangling changes based on whether you separately compile the unit tests. It's why you needed to generate the main D source file for unit-threaded too, becuase __traits(getUnitTests) gets confused by this same issue if the modules containing tests are separately compiled: https://github.com/atilaneves/unit-threaded/blob/master/source/unit_threaded/runtime.d#L175

Well, guess how I found out about this issue? ;) It turns out all my unit test files were always in the same package due to laziness, and as soon as I tried compiling separately, things broke. Sigh. I've had similar problems in the past with template mixins. It seems D's compile-time features don't mix with any kind of separate compilation, which is a shame. Atila

Why has the additional count been added? You're already using the line number to differentiate unit test blocks. For unit test blocks that are all on one line? ;)

You could always add an additional number to uniquely identify them if there are multiple unittests on one line. It would seem weird to have a special case in the grammar for unittests.
