Unit testing

Unit testing is extremely useful. I'm working through this excellent guide :

Pragmatic Programmer: Unit Testing in Java with junit

I have yet to find any good websites for junit, but the book is great.

I've had a lot of success in some small projects, using NetBeans 6.1 to generate empty tests for each class member. Then you go and fill them in. It's helping me to refresh my memory about the code and great to think of new ways to test the code and new ways to write the code.

Overcome Java JNI gdb errors on GNU/Linux

If you happen to try to debug any Java JNI programs using gdb on GNU/Linux you will soon come across error messages. For example : $ gdb --args java MyJavaProgramUsingJNI cannot find user-level thread for LWP nnn: generic error warning: Cannot initialize thread debugging library: versions of libpthread and libthread_db do not match The reason for this is that the java program mucks around with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and that prevents gdb from running correctly. To overcome this, you have to run your Java program and place a pause in the Java code, such as reading a key, and then in another shell, run gdb to attach to the running Java process. You can then set your breakpoint on your JNI code and debug it. Here is an example : Compile your Java program: $ javac JNITest.java Generate the JNI header file: $ javah -jni JNITest.java Create and compile your C code library: $ cat jnilib.c #include "JNITest.h" JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_JNITest_addValues( JNIEnv...
