<h1>Priority-Queue Regression Tests</h1>
<h2><a name="assoc_desc" id="assoc_desc">Description</a></h2>
<p>The library contains a single comprehensive regression test.
For a given container type in <tt>pb_ds</tt>, the test creates
an object of the container type and an object of the
corresponding STL type (<i>i.e.</i>,
<tt>std::priority_queue</tt>). It then performs a random
sequence of methods with random arguments (<i>e.g.</i>, pushes,
pops, and so forth) on both objects. At each operation, the
test checks the return value of the method, and optionally both
compares <tt>pb_ds</tt>'s object with the STL's object as well
as performing other consistency checks on <tt>pb_ds</tt>'s
object (<i>e.g.</i>, that the size returned by the
<tt>size</tt> method corresponds to the distance between its
<tt>begin</tt> and end iterators).</p>
<p>Additionally, the test integrally checks exception safety
and resource leaks. This is done as follows. A special
allocator type, written for the purpose of the test, both
randomly throws an exceptions when allocations are performed,
and tracks allocations and de-allocations. The exceptions thrown
at allocations simulate memory-allocation failures; the
tracking mechanism checks for memory-related bugs (<i>e.g.</i>,
resource leaks and multiple de-allocations). Both
<tt>pb_ds</tt>'s containers and the containers' value-types are
configured to use this allocator.</p>
