Regression Tests

The testzfp program in the tests directory performs regression testing that exercises most of the functionality of libzfp and the array classes. The tests assume the default compiler settings, i.e. with none of the macros in Config defined. By default, small, pregenerated floating-point arrays are used in the test, since they tend to have the same binary representation across platforms, whereas it can be difficult to computationally generate bit-for-bit identical arrays. To test larger arrays, use the medium or large options. When large arrays are used, the (de)compression throughput is also measured and reported in number of uncompressed bytes per second.
