[kvm-unit-tests PATCH 0/3] Add support for external tests and litmus7 documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This set of patches makes small changes to the build system to allow
easy integration of tests not included in the repository. To this end,
it adds a parameter to the configuration script `--ext-dir=DIR` which
will instruct the build system to include the Makefile in
DIR/Makefile. The external Makefile can then add extra tests,
link object files and modify/extend flags.

In addition, to demonstrate how we can use this functionality, a
README file explains how to use litmus7 to generate the C code for
litmus tests and link with kvm-unit-tests to produce flat files.

Note that currently, litmus7 produces its own independent Makefile as
an intermediate step. Once this set of changes is committed, litmus7
will be modifed to make use hook to specify external tests and
leverage the build system to build the external tests
(https://github.com/relokin/herdtools7/commit/8f23eb39d25931c2c34f4effa096df58547a3bb4).
