[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38776] Tests in private functions cannot be tested directly

[Thomas Weber]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #38776 (project octave):

I disagree with the rationale provided here. 

Why do we advise users to run "make check"? Because it ensures that
compilation was successful and Octave will run as expected.
So, if you include tests in a file, you want those tests to be run after the
build, such that problems are found NOW and not at some arbitrary point in the
future (if at all). 

As such, every test should be run at build time - it does not matter where it
is (if the test is known to fail, that's what xtest is for).
