Ed Schouten 2c7da872aa Don't let ATF call basename() and dirname() in a non-standard way. POSIX basename() and dirname() are allowed to overwrite the input buffer. The advantage of implementing it that way is that the functions can be thread-safe, as they don't store the result in a global buffer. It looks like ATF wants to call basename() and dirname() in the non-standard way where the argument is of type "const char *". This change disables the calls to basename() and dirname(), which only seems to affect the formatting of some rare debug/error messages.

===========================================================================


Introduction
************

The Automated Testing Framework (ATF) is a collection of libraries to
implement test programs in a variety of languages.  At the moment, ATF
offers C, C++ and POSIX shell bindings with which to implement tests.
These bindings all offer a similar set of functionality and any test
program written with them exposes a consistent user interface.

ATF-based test programs rely on a separate runtime engine to execute them.
The runtime engine is in charge of isolating the test programs from the
rest of the system to ensure that their results are deterministic and that
they cannot affect the running system.  The runtime engine is also
responsible for gathering the results of all tests and composing reports.
The current runtime of choice is Kyua.
