Fixed in Version 6.4

• 100% statement coverage is impractical.
• A summary of the test coverage should be reported.
• The test_minimise.cpp program is too complex, because it repeats code rather than using sub routines.
• The minimise::adjusted_guess function is unused.
• The minimise code should also be tested with functions that do not have minima (constant and maximum functions).
• The tests do not provide the required test coverage.
• Mapper should output all the top-level nodes of the document, not only the top-level element.
• The MapperErrorHandler should be used for handling errors in processing the command-line arguments.
• The distinction between the various exit statuses is unnecessary.
• The XHTML pages have incorrect XML declarations.
• The required test coverage is too lax, because whole functions might be completely untested.
• Handling of ill-formed XML is not tested.
• The documentation of processing of Curve-segment elements is incorrect.
• The random vector function should belong to the vector_math namespace.
• Should systematically test the total_enrgy_function, one constraint type at a time.
• The required test coverage should also be in terms of the XML elements and attributes processed.
• Testing of Node elements is insufficient.
• Test handling of straight-line curve elements.
• Test handling of excess Coord elements in the input file.
• Mapper includes code for Path-node elements, but the DTD does not permit such elements.
• The top-level documentation index should provide direct links to the deeper pages.
• The attribute_error and >attributes_error classes should have a common base class, element_error.
• The element_error class should have a general purpose message member, for indicating the specific error. The attributes_error class can thereby be eliminated.
• The error-handling classes should have their own namespace.
• The test report should be in HTML format, and included in the on-line documentation.
• Low-level documentation of the Makefile should be automatically generated.
• The unit and integration tests should be combined into one test driver program.
• Link anchors provided by Doxygen should be automatically recorded, rather than manually recorded in external.provide.
• The HTML manual page, generated by man2html, assumes that the user's host (localhost) has an HTTP server running the man2html software. Mapper should not assume this.
• The HTML manual page, generated by man2html, includes the HTTP header information. That header should not be present.
• The position member function of the curve class should return a vector2 for the gradient, rather than two doubles.
• Output of Curve-segment elements produced too many Coord children elements, especially for `curves' that are actually straight lines.
