I actually like the idea that the test assertions follow a common naming scheme and can easily be overriden by $arbitrary-crazy-platform. Using test_cmp_bin instead of cmp would result in then four assertions for comparing arbitrary data test_cmp test_18ncmp test_cmp_text test_cmp_bin where I think the purpose of each function is clear from its name. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
