COVERAGE FILES
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Every area of the POSIX spec that has tests written for it should be tracked by
|
|
a corresponding COVERAGE.<area> file in the Documentation directory. The first
|
|
example file is COVERAGE.timers, which I will keep up to date with the latest
|
|
format.
|
|
|
|
The idea with these files is to track the progress of test creation. Also, the
|
|
files will be parsed nightly to generate the Project Status web page at
|
|
http://posixtest.sf.net/status.html so they must conform to a certain format.
|
|
|
|
To simplify the creation of a tool to parse these files, the following rules
|
|
should be observed in creating the file.
|
|
|
|
Completion of POSIX Function Conformance Tests
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
There should be one line for each POSIX function included in this area of the
|
|
POSIX spec. The tests for these functions are currently found in the
|
|
conformance/behavior/<function-name> directory. (They may be moved to
|
|
conformance/interfaces/<function-name> shortly.) The function test directory
|
|
need not exist yet, but the list of functions in the COVERAGE file should be
|
|
complete.
|
|
|
|
Each line should have this format:
|
|
<function-name> <complete?> <other-fields>
|
|
|
|
That is, spaces or tabs as whitespace separating the function name and complete
|
|
fields, and any other fields, if present. Other fields will be ignored by the
|
|
parser currently.
|
|
|
|
For example, from COVERAGE.timers:
|
|
clock_gettime NO* MED
|
|
|
|
Only the first letter of the complete? field will be read, and should be either
|
|
N or Y. (So you are free to have asterisks as Julie has done.)
|
|
|
|
She has a priority field after that HIGH/MED/LOW which is currently not used by
|
|
the parser.
|
|
|
|
Information Fields
|
|
------------------
|
|
Additional information should be provided with this format:
|
|
Field-Name: Value-Data
|
|
|
|
The field "Coverage-Area" MUST be provided with a description of this area of
|
|
the POSIX spec such as "Clocks & Timers (TMR)".
|
|
|
|
The field "Area-Code" MUST be provided, a unique code with no spaces to use
|
|
internally within the web page to link to the stats about this coverage area,
|
|
such as "tmr" or "sig".
|
|
|
|
The field "Maintainer" SHOULD be provided with the name of the active
|
|
maintainer of this area.
|
|
|
|
The field "Contributor" MAY be provided (one or more times) with a name of
|
|
someone who contributed to the tests in this area (other than the active
|
|
maintainer).
|
|
|
|
Comment Lines
|
|
-------------
|
|
Any line that is not of the type defined above must be denoted as a comment
|
|
line. There are three types of comment lines that will be ignored:
|
|
|
|
- Any blank line or line with whitespace only
|
|
- Any line beginning with //
|
|
- Any lines between an opening line of /* and a closing line of */ (inclusive)
|
|
|
|
For example, only the clock_gettime line would be parsed below:
|
|
|
|
// SAMPLE FILE: First Line
|
|
|
|
// The line above is whitespace only, and the line below is blank
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
This section is for longer
|
|
comments.
|
|
*/
|
|
clock_gettime NO* MED
|
|
|
|
// SAMPLE FILE: Last Line
|
|
|
|
Other Tests: Definitions, Functional, Stress, etc.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
These tests are not currently handled by the parser tool, and thus should be
|
|
included in comment fields if the information is present.
|
|
|
|
Future Extensions
|
|
-----------------
|
|
If other fields become required later, they will be moved to the front of the
|
|
text lines, so that optional fields can still appear after them.
