In most cases used printf %s ... instead.
echo -n > file lines to create empty / truncate files were
changed to : > file lines, like done in in test-lib-emacs.sh
And one echo -n " " replaced with use of sed "s/^/ /" in next line.
Unify the subtests by requiring test_begin_subtest before
test_expect_success. (Similar change for test_expect_code will
follow.)
This increases clarity in the test scripts by having a separate line
for the start of the subtest with the heading, and makes it possible
to simplify the test infrastructure by making all subtests similar.
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.
Previously, this was implemented using a horrible GDB script (because
there is no such thing as a non-horrible GDB script). This GDB script
often broke with newer versions of GDB for mysterious reasons. Port
the test script to GDB's Python API, which makes the code much cleaner
and, hopefully, more stable.
All test scripts to be executed are now named as T\d\d\d-name.sh,
numers in increments of 10.
This eases adding new tests and developers to see which are test scripts
that are executed by test suite and in which order.
