The files (test) scripts source (with builtin command `.`) provides
information which the scripts depend, and without the `source` to
succeed allowing script to continue may lead to dangerous situations
(e.g. rm -rf "${undefined_variable}"/*).
At the end of all source (.) lines construct ' || exit 1' was added;
In our case the script script will exit if it cannot find (or read) the
file to be sourced. Additionally script would also exits if the last
command of the sourced file exited nonzero.
It seems that between version 1.26 and 1.27 of gnu tar, directories to
be extracted read with --files-from are no longer recursively extacted.
This patch puts them on the command line instead.
The idea is run some code under valgrind --leak-check=full and report
a summary, leaving the user to peruse the log file if they want.
We go to some lengths to preserve the log files from accidental
overwriting; the full corpus takes about 3 hours to run under valgrind
on my machine.
The naming of the log directories may be slightly controversial; in
the unlikely event of two runs in less than a second, the log will be
overwritten. A previous version with mktemp+timestamp was dismissed as
overkill; just mktemp alone does not sort nicely.
One new test is included, to check notmuch new for memory leaks.
Austin suggested a while ago that the corpus size be printed in the
header. In the end it seems the corpus will be fixed per test script,
so this suggestion indeed makes sense.
The tabbing was wrapping on my usual 80 column terminal, so I joined
the input and output columns together.
Unlike in the correctness tests, the most common cause of non-zero
return seems to be the user interrupting, so killing the run seems
like the friendly thing to do.
This is not near as fancy as as the unit tests, on the theory that
the code should typically be crashing when performance tuning.
Nonetheless, there is plenty of room for improvement. Several more of
the pieces of the test infrastructure (e.g. the option parsing) could
be factored out into test/test-lib-common.sh
