Description
Description
The distribution tests on develop currently run for 12h. The recently added varmat signatures basically added a x2 testing burden but the distribution tests were unsustainable even before that.
Adding beefier machines is not an option here because the machines we use are already fast.
Ideas to speedup testing:
- use precompiled headers (most of the time falls under compiling so maybe?)
- only test non-similar signatures (meaning that we only test with foo(vector) if the function supports foo(vector), foo(row_vector), foo(array[] real)
Anyone has any idea here?
