FYI, I have a master student who looks at converting some of these to KTF, such as for instance the XArray tests, which lended themselves quite good to a semi-automated conversion. The result is also a somewhat more compact code as well as the flexibility provided by the Googletest executor and the KTF frameworks, such as running selected tests, output formatting, debugging features etc. Knut > -Frank _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
