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).
Just wanted to add that if anyone's interested in trying out this series
with litmus7 I am very happy to help. Any feedback on this series or the way
we use kvm-unit-tests would be very welcome!
Hi Nikos,
It's on my TODO to play with this. I just haven't had a chance yet. I'm
particularly slow right now because I'm in the process of handling a
switch of my email server from one type to another, requiring rewrites
of filters, new mail synchronization methods, and, in general, lots of
pain... Hopefully by the end of this week all will be done. Then, I can
start ignoring emails on purpose again, instead of due to the fact that
I can't find them :-)
Thanks,
drew
Just wanted to revive the discussion on this. In particular there are
two fairly small changes to the build system that allow us to add
external tests (in our case, generated using litmus7) to the list of
tests we build. This is specific to arm builds but I am happy to look
into generalizing it to include all archs.
Thanks,
Nikos
Thanks,
Nikos
