Re: [PATCH] support: Introduce new subdirectory for test infrastructure


Hi Florian,

I've observed a new test-failure string/tst-strcoll-overflow after this patch has been commited.

The test uses:
#define TIMEOUT 300
#define EXPECTED_SIGNAL SIGALRM
#define EXPECTED_STATUS 0

With the old test-skeleton, it either timed out or strcoll returned in time and do_test returns 0. The test passes as WEXITSTATUS (status) == EXPECTED_STATUS.

With the new test-driver, the out-file contains:
0
Expected signal 'Alarm clock' from child, got none

If do_test would return e.g. 2 and EXPECTED_STATUS is defined to 2, the test would pass. But if the testcase is then called with --direct, it would return 2 instead of 0!

Shall the new test-driver be able to handle this case?

Bye
Stefan
