go - write simple unit test for isolated function in golang, ethereum virtual machine -


in situation there isn't 1 correct answer, or expected result, can check for, i'm looking evaluate execution time of function under different conditions, still unit-test?

there's function embedded in project i'm working on executes addition operation (opadd) on virtual machine (the ethereum vm), file can found on project github page.

this specific function responsible task: 

func opadd(pc *uint64, evm *evm, contract *contract, memory *memory, stack *stack) ([]byte, error) {     x, y := stack.pop(), stack.pop()     stack.push(math.u256(x.add(x, y)))      evm.interpreter.intpool.put(y)      return nil, nil }

what i'd create "unit-test" of sorts evaluate execution speed of operation. assess i've modified function accordingly: 

func opadd(pc *uint64, evm *evm, contract *contract, memory *memory, stack *stack) ([]byte, error) {      // begin execution time tracking     var starttime = time.now().unixnano();      x, y := stack.pop(), stack.pop()     stack.push(math.u256(x.add(x, y)))      evm.interpreter.intpool.put(y)      // log ellapsed execution time     fmt.println("execute opadd consume = ",(time.now().unixnano() - starttime))      return nil, nil }

however, missing ability call function in isolation, , feed varying amounts of data such evaluate behaviour of code under different conditions.

for instance i'd see how long takes execute gigabytes, megabytes, etc.

there code check functioning of vm here, it's complicated me understand- i'm new golang.

what i'd write simplest program possible invoke function, taking parameter varying amount of input data process. towards end i've examined multiple resources, if experienced gopher point me in right direction immeasurably valuable advancing understanding of how construct practical unit tests.

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
