Instructions for standalone test regressions of libxml2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
libxml2-tests-$version.tar.gz contains 3 standalone C programs as well
|
||
|
|
as a large amount of tests and results coming from libxml2 itself and
|
||
|
|
from W3C, NIST, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft and James Clark. Each C
|
||
|
|
program has a different testing purpose:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
runtest.c : runs libxml2 basic internal regression tests
|
||
|
|
runsuite.c: runs libxml2 against external regression tests
|
||
|
|
testapi.c : exercises the library public entry points
|
||
|
|
testchar.c: exercise the check of character ranges and UTF-8 validation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make check
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
make -f Makefile.tests check
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
should be sufficient on an Unix system to build and exercise the tests
|
||
|
|
for the version of the library installed on the system. Note however
|
||
|
|
that there isn't backward compatibility provided so if the installed
|
||
|
|
version is older than the testsuite one, failing to compile or run the tests
|
||
|
|
is likely. In any event this won't work with an installed libxml2 older
|
||
|
|
than 2.6.20.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building on other platforms should be a matter of compiling the C files
|
||
|
|
like any other program using libxml2, running the test should be done
|
||
|
|
simply by launching the resulting executables.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also note the availability of a "make valgrind" target which will run the
|
||
|
|
above tests under valgrind to check for memory errors (but this relies
|
||
|
|
on the availability of the valgrind command and take far more time to
|
||
|
|
complete).
