Great idea. We can help in the following way: BitKeeper has an extremely simple test harness used for regressions. It's well thought out in that it is trivial to write simple tests and run them in isolation or to run the whole suite. If you want the harness, we'll give it to you under whatever license you want, I assume GPL, but we don't care.
You can see what the tests look like in BK, if you have it installed, we ship all the tests, they are in `bk bin`/t
A simple test might be
#!/bin/sh
# test that touch creates a file touch foo test -f foo || { echo failed to create foo exit 1 }
The harness takes care of putting you in a clean isolated environment. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
