-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Braden McDaniel on 10/14/2007 8:33 PM: > Is there something clever I could do to repeat a series of tests (in > testsuite.at) with different executables? The tests consist of a series > of input files. Autotest is built on top of m4sugar, which is a macro preprocessor, so it sounds like you would just write a macro that takes one parameter (the test you are running) and expands into the text that tests everything using the parameter in place of the program name. Autoconf's own tests/local.at shows a good example of writing macros that make it easier to factor out the repetitive parts of tests into higher-level macros conditionalized on the one part of the family of tests that differs between tests. Or consider tests/autotest.m4, where the macro AT_CHECK_AT expands into the entire AT_SETUP/AT_DATA/AT_CHECK/AT_CLEANUP sequence. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
