It appears that previously a negative timeout actually implemented a
'wait forever', but the VxWorks and RTEMS implementations both check
for (timeout <= 0) and return immediately if nothing can be done
without waiting.
Don't apply the %.tap: %.t and %.xml: %.tap rules to tap and junit
result files from other test frameworks.
(They would overwrite the other frameworks' own rules.)
Use only %.t files in new TESTSCRIPTS.t var for Perl tests.
TAPFILES and JUNITFILES can be appended to by other rules.
The runtests and test-results rules have no direct recipes.
Added run-tap-tests and tap-results rules, simlified recipe.
Make %.tap:%.t and %.xml:%.tap into static pattern rules.
It was created before modern continuous integration systems
came along; Diamond were supposed to run the tests for us,
but they didn't last for very long.
For all standard build ACTIONS, a rule before-<action> is
run just before running that action in the subdirectories
given by the DIRS variable. Only works in Makefiles that
include RULES_DIRS or RULES_TOP.
Lists the directories with failed tests at the end of the build.
It is no longer necessary to use 'make -k' to see the results
of all tests after one or more failures as only the top-level
test-results recipe will generate a build error.
- make runtests a double-colon rule, so that other test frameworks
can add their own recipes independently
- only define runtests:: $TESTSCRIPTS rule when there are TESTSCRIPTS
(to avoid having it run every time when no TESTSCRIPTS are defined)
- $(strip $TAPFILES) inside ifneq to fix trouble when TAPFILES=' '
I split his two "Fields Common to ..." sections back into separate docs,
added links between them all, and made the appropriate build changes.
Also added these and the aai/aao records to the documentation index.
Also improve behavior in case signals are delivered to the sleeping
thread. This fixes a potential security weakness reported by codacy
(interaction of usleep with SIGALRM and other timer functions such
as sleep(), alarm(), setitimer(), and nanosleep() is unspecified).
