There's more than 100 tests in the validation test suite. That makes it cumbersome to notice test breakage in because the results don't fit on single page. We don't expect to see most tests to pass so it's much more convenient to only be verbose for failing test cases. This patch changes the 'test-suite' output to report progress on a single line unless a test case fails. Current master 'make check' output looks as follows: Makefile:53: Your system does not have libxml, disabling c2xml TEST preprocessor/preprocessor14.c ( Preprocessor #14) error: actual output text does not match expected output text. error: see preprocessor/preprocessor14.c.output.* for further investigation. --- preprocessor/preprocessor14.c.output.expected 2011-08-26 05:47:22.000000000 +0000 +++ preprocessor/preprocessor14.c.output.got 2011-08-26 05:47:22.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ - +, info: test 'preprocessor/preprocessor14.c' is known to fail TEST static-forward-decl.c ( static forward declaration) error: actual error text does not match expected error text. error: see static-forward-decl.c.error.* for further investigation. --- static-forward-decl.c.error.expected 2011-08-26 05:47:22.000000000 +0000 +++ static-forward-decl.c.error.got 2011-08-26 05:47:22.000000000 +0000 @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +static-forward-decl.c:3:5: warning: symbol 'f' was not declared.
