This test suite is meant to test general functionality of pthreads, as well as
|
|
provide a simple framework for regression tests. In general, this test suite
|
|
can be used with any pthreads library, but in reality there are a number of
|
|
libc_r-specific aspects to this test suite which would require some effort to
|
|
get around if testing another pthreads library.
|
|
|
|
This test suite assumes that libc_r is installed.
|
|
|
|
There are two forms of test that the 'verify' script understands. The simpler
|
|
form is the diff format, where the output of the test program is diff'ed with
|
|
the correspondingly named .exp file. If there is diff output, the test fails.
|
|
The sequence test format is somewhat more complex, and is documented in the
|
|
command line usage output for verify. The advantage of this format is that it
|
|
allows multiple tests to pass/fail within one program.
|
|
|
|
There is no driving need for test naming consistency, but the existing tests
|
|
generally follow these conventions:
|
|
|
|
<name>_d.c <name>_d.exp : Diff mode C test and expected output file.
|
|
<name>_s.c : Sequence mode C test.
|
|
<name>_b*.c : Back end C program used by perl tests.
|
|
<name>_d.pl <name>_d.pl.exp : Diff mode perl test and expected output file.
|
|
<name>_s.pl : Sequence mode perl test.
|
|
|
|
<name> is something descriptive, such as "pr14685" in the case of a PR-related
|
|
regression test, or "mutex" in the case of a test of mutexes.
