Homework 4 Notes

• If your code compiles without errors and all functions are implemented, you receive a "no-fault" redo.
  • If you fail to many tests, or completely crash my test driver you will receive a score of 0.
  • But you can attempt to fix this with homework five.
  • And I will post my test driver at that point.
  • You fix your code to the standard of my test driver.
• Your redo submission will be part of homework five.
  • You should test thoroughly enough to find and remove any errors I have discovered in your code.
  • Because this is part of homework 5, I will not be providing a test driver until after homework 5 is submitted.
• I added to my test file to catch infinite loops
  • Look here
• If your program crashes and messes up colorization
  • 
  • type reset at the command line.
• I also ran with the flag --catch_system_errors=1
  • see this page
• Make sure you check

  • if (this == &other) {
       return * this;
    }

  • See page 240 of your book.
• I ran valgrind with --leak-check=full
• I made my CompareLIsts function pass the list by value.
  • This was to preserve the current pointer.
  • I suspect many of you did not test your copy constructor so you bombed out on this .
• Most of you did not set current to be anything in your copy constructors, this caused your code to crash on my first test.
