Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.22) Gecko/20090807 MultiZilla/1.8.3.4e SeaMonkey/1.1.17 Mnenhy/0.7.6.0 |
This patch is the long-promised dejagnu(1) multi-launcher, although only
the launcher itself, and the first command to make it useful will be in
a later patch.
I had previously mentioned some files that were part of this work that
have been renamed between then and now. Specifically,
"testsuite/lib/dejagnu.exp" is now "testsuite/lib/launcher.exp" and the
entire "testsuite/dejagnu.launcher/" directory has been renamed to
"testsuite/launcher.all/" after I decided that, since the launcher is
run using a LAUNCHER variable rather than a DEJAGNU variable (obvious
potential for confusion with that bad choice that was avoided from the
start), using "--tool launcher" to test the launcher is more appropriate
than using "--tool dejagnu" even though the launcher is installed under
the "dejagnu" name.
Shellcheck gives one minor complaint in dejagnu as written; I have
chosen to ignore that complaint, since the $(grep ...) on line 130 is:
(1) extracting the version number (which is unlikely to contain spaces)
from runtest.exp and (2) substituted into an "echo" command, where
word-splitting does not matter. I have chosen to ignore this warning,
following the advice of the GNU Coding Standards not to make the program
ugly to placate a static analyzer. Emacs highlights that code much
better and more readably without the quotes anyway.
----
NEWS item:
?. A shell command "dejagnu" is added as a place to hang various auxiliary
commands not directly involved with running tests. The "runtest"
command will remain for that purpose for the forseeable future.
----
ChangeLog entries:
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add "dejagnu" launcher script.
(bin_SCRIPTS): Likewise.
(TESTSUITE_FILES): Add testsuite for same.
(DEJATOOL): Add "launcher" to list of tools to test.

+DejaGnu now features auxiliary commands not directly related to
+running tests, but somehow related to the broader purpose of testing.
+
+These commands are run via the @command{dejagnu} multiplex launcher,
+which locates an appropriate script and the required interpreter and
+then runs the requested command.

+
+The @command{dejagnu} launcher is primarily designed to pass most
+options on to the scripts that it runs, but does process the
address@hidden and @option{--version} options entirely internally,
+while also recognizing the @option{--verbose} option.
+
address@hidden
address@hidden <command> [options...]
address@hidden --help
address@hidden --version
address@hidden example
+
+Note that the command names may contain multiple words. In this case,
+the command can be given as separate arguments to @command{dejagnu} or
+combined with dashes(@samp{-}); both forms are equivalent.
+
+All words of the command name must appear before any options. The
+search for a command terminates when an option is found.
+
+Note that the first valid command found is used. A longer command
+name can be shadowed by a shorter command name that happens to be a
+prefix of the longer name, if the command name is given as multiple
+arguments. The equivalent form with the longer command name combined
+using dashes into a single argument will correctly refer to the
+otherwise shadowed command.
+
+The @command{dejagnu} launcher can also be run using symbolic links,
+provided that the shell places the name under which @command{dejagnu}
+was invoked in @code{$0}. Any dash-separated words after ``dejagnu''
+in the name of such a link are taken to be the leading words of a
+command name.
+
+The @command{dejagnu} launcher supports alternate implementations
+depending upon available interpreters.
+
+Options for the @command{dejagnu} launcher itself cannot be
+abbreviated, since the launcher has no way to know which abbreviations
+are unique and which would be ambiguous to the invoked command.
+
address@hidden @asis
+
address@hidden @code{--help}
+Print a help message instead of running a command.
+
address@hidden @code{-V}, @code{--version}
+Print a version banner for the launcher itself including the

+
address@hidden @code{-v}, @code{--verbose}
+Emit additional output describing the inner workings of the
address@hidden launcher. This option is also passed on to the
+invoked command.
