#
# Notes:
# 1) This follows a Python convention for marking internal vs public functions.
# Internal functions are prefixed with "_".

# A simple testcase generator.
#
# Usage Notes:
#
# 1) The length of each parameter list must either be one, in which case the
# same value is used for each run, or the length must match all other
# parameters of length greater than one.
#
# 2) Values for parameters that vary across runs must appear in increasing
# order.  E.g. nr_gen_shlibs = { 0 1 10 } is good, { 1 0 10 } is bad.
# This rule simplifies the code a bit, without being onerous on the user:
#  a) Report generation doesn't have to sort the output by run, it'll already
#  be sorted.
#  b) In the static object file case, the last run can be used used to generate
#  all the source files.
#
# TODO:
# 1) have functions call each other within an objfile and across
#    objfiles to measure things like backtrace times
# 2) enums
#
# Implementation Notes:
#
# 1) The implementation would be a bit simpler if we could assume Tcl 8.5.
#    Then we could use a dictionary to record the testcase instead of an array.
#    With the array we use here, there is only one copy of it and instead of
#    passing its value we pass its name.  Yay Tcl.  An alternative is to just
#    use a global variable.
#
# 2) Because these programs can be rather large, we try to avoid recompilation
#    where we can.  We don't have a makefile: we could generate one but it's
#    not clear that's simpler than our chosen mechanism which is to record
#    sums of all the inputs, and detect if an input has changed that way.
