# usage: vg_regtest [options] <dirs | files>
#
# Options:
#   --all:      run tests in all subdirs
#   --valgrind: valgrind launcher to use.  Default is ./coregrind/valgrind.
#               (This option should probably only be used in conjunction with
#               --valgrind-lib.)
#   --valgrind-lib: valgrind libraries to use.  Default is $tests_dir/.in_place.
#               (This option should probably only be used in conjunction with
#               --valgrind.)
#   --keep-unfiltered: keep a copy of the unfiltered output/error output
#     of each test by adding an extension .unfiltered.out
#
#   --outer-valgrind: run this valgrind under the given outer valgrind.
#     This valgrind must be configured with --enable-inner.
#   --outer-tool: tool to use by the outer valgrind (default memcheck).
#   --outer-args: use this as outer tool args.
#   --loop-till-fail: loops on the test(s) till one fail, then exit
#              This is useful to obtain detailed trace or --keep-unfiltered
#              output of a non deterministic test failure
#
# The easiest way is to run all tests in valgrind/ with (assuming you installed
# in $PREFIX):
#
#   $PREFIX/bin/vg_regtest --all
#
# You can specify individual files to test, or whole directories, or both.
# Directories are traversed recursively, except for ones named, for example, 
# CVS/ or docs/.
#
# Each test is defined in a file <test>.vgtest, containing one or more of the
# following lines, in any order:
#   - prog:   <prog to run>
#   - prog-asis: <prog to run>
#   - env: <environment variable for prog>          (default: none)
#   - args:   <args for prog>                       (default: none)
#   - vgopts: <Valgrind options>                    (default: none;
#                                                    multiple are allowed)
#   - stdout_filter: <filter to run stdout through> (default: none)
#   - stderr_filter: <filter to run stderr through> (default: ./filter_stderr)
#   - stdout_filter_args: <args for stdout_filter>  (default: basename of .vgtest file)
#   - stderr_filter_args: <args for stderr_filter>  (default: basename of .vgtest file)
#
#   - progB:  <prog to run in parallel with prog>   (default: none)
#   - argsB:  <args for progB>                      (default: none)
#   - stdinB: <input file for progB>                (default: none)
#   - stdoutB_filter: <filter progB stdout through> (default: none)
#   - stderrB_filter: <filter progB stderr through> (default: ./filter_stderr)
#   - stdoutB_filter_args: <args for stdout_filterB> (default: basename of .vgtest file)
#   - stderrB_filter_args: <args for stderr_filterB>  (default: basename of .vgtest file)
#
#   - prereq: <prerequisite command>                (default: none)
#   - post: <post-test check command>               (default: none)
#   - cleanup: <post-test cleanup cmd>              (default: none)
#
# One of prog or prog-asis must be specified.
# If prog or probB is a relative path, it will be prefix with the test directory.
# prog-asis will be taken as is, i.e. not prefixed with the test directory.
# Note that filters are necessary for stderr results to filter out things that
# always change, eg. process id numbers.
# Note that if a progB is specified, it is started in background (before prog).
#
# There can be more than one env: declaration. Here is an example:
#   env: PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH
#
# Expected stdout (filtered) is kept in <test>.stdout.exp* (can be more
# than one expected output).  It can be missing if it would be empty.  Expected
# stderr (filtered) is kept in <test>.stderr.exp*.   There must be at least
# one stderr.exp* file.  Any .exp* file that ends in '~' or '#' is ignored;
# this is because Emacs creates temporary files of these names.
#
# Expected output for progB is handled similarly, except that
# expected stdout and stderr for progB are in  <test>.stdoutB.exp*
# and <test>.stderrB.exp*.
#
# If results don't match, the output can be found in <test>.std<strm>.out,
# and the diff between expected and actual in <test>.std<strm>.diff*.
# (for progB, in <test>.std<strm>2.out and <test>.std<strm>2.diff*).
#
# The prerequisite command, if present, works like this:
# - if it returns 0 the test is run
# - if it returns 1 the test is skipped
# - if it returns anything else the script aborts.
# The idea here is results other than 0 or 1 are likely to be due to
# problems with the commands, and you don't want to conflate them with the 1
# case, which would happen if you just tested for zero or non-zero.
#
# The post-test command, if present, must return 0 and its stdout must match
# the expected stdout which is kept in <test>.post.exp*.
#
# Sometimes it is useful to run all the tests at a high sanity check
# level or with arbitrary other flags.  To make this simple, extra 
# options, applied to all tests run, are read from $EXTRA_REGTEST_OPTS,
# and handed to valgrind prior to any other flags specified by the 
# .vgtest file.
#
# Some more notes on adding regression tests for a new tool are in
# docs/xml/manual-writing-tools.xml.
