Build all the testcase executables directly using automake, rather than passing the compiler information into DejaGnu to have it build them. (This means you get build avoidance for these executables, so they only get built once, rather than every time you run the test, and makes it much easier to run them in isolatation against the installed Cygwin, which is really nice to have when trying to fix broken tests...) Rename the 'cygrun' subdirectory to 'mingw', and build all the testsuite MinGW executables there. Drop sample-miscompile.c (testing that compile failure is detected is perhaps useful, but not here...)

Here are some notes about adding and using this testsuite.
|
|
|
|
The testsuite adds a directory containing the just built cygwin1.dll to the PATH
|
|
(during the run step) so that it can be found by the Windows loader during
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
Because we'll probably run into complaints about using two DLLs, we
|
|
run cygrun.exe for each test. All this does is run the test with
|
|
CreateProcess() so that we don't attempt to do the special code for
|
|
when a cygwin program calls another cygwin program, as this might be a
|
|
"multiple cygwins" problem.
|
|
|
|
Any test that needs to test command line args or redirection needs to
|
|
run such a child program itself, as the testsuite will not do any
|
|
arguments or redirection for it. Same for fork, signals, etc.
|
|
|
|
The testsuite/winsup.api subdirectory is for testing the API to
|
|
cygwin1.dll ONLY. Create other subdirs under testsuite/ for other
|
|
classes of testing.
|
|
|
|
Tests in winsup.api/*.c or winsup.api/*/*.c (only one subdirectory
|
|
level is allowed) either run, and exit(0) or they fail.
|
|
Either abort or exit with a non-zero code to indicate failure. Don't
|
|
print anything to the screen if you can avoid it (except for failure
|
|
reasons, of course). One .c file per test, no compile options are
|
|
allowed (we're testing the api, not the compiler).
|
|
|
|
Tests whose filename is mentioned in known-bugs.tcl will be *expected*
|
|
to fail, and will "fail" if they compile, run, and return zero.
|
|
|
|
"make check" will only work if you run it *on* an NT machine.
|
|
Cross-checking is not supported.
|
|
|
|
To test a subset of the test-suite, use
|
|
$ make check CYGWIN_TESTSUITE_TESTS=regexp
