Avoid calling libtool to link every single test case, by building just one
binary from all the sources.
This binary is then given the task of choosing tests to run (based on user
selection and individual test requirement), forking each test into its own
process and accumulating the results.
If the filter mode is anything other than DEFAILT, FAST or NEAREST set the
Interpolate flag in the image dictionary so that a smoothing filter is
applied when rasterising the vector file.
As we have no control over the implementation of the Interpolate filter
(the PS/PDF specifications leave it undefined) we need to capture the
output of poppler/GS and update our reference images. (For a couple of
tests, the filtering is irrelevant so for those we set the filter to
NEAREST.)
Note that GhostScript's Interpolate filter does not work on rotated images
(and a variety of other transformations) so several of the PS reference
images have use nearest-neighbour sampling instead of a bilinear filter.
In order to run under memfault, the framework is first extended to handle
running concurrent tests - i.e. multi-threading. (Not that this is a
requirement for memfault, instead it shares a common goal of storing
per-test data). To that end all the global data is moved into a per-test
context and the targets are adjusted to avoid overlap on shared, global
resources (such as output files and frame buffers). In order to preserve
the simplicity of the standard draw routines, the context is not passed
explicitly as a parameter to the routines, but is instead attached to the
cairo_t via the user_data.
For the masochist, to enable the tests to be run across multiple threads
simply set the environment variable CAIRO_TEST_NUM_THREADS to the desired
number.
In the long run, we can hope the need for memfault (runtime testing of
error paths) will be mitigated by static analysis. A promising candidate
for this task would appear to be http://hal.cs.berkeley.edu/cil/.
The 5 additional bugs that will be shipped with 1.4 are
ft-text-vertical-layout-type1
radial-gradient
surface-pattern
surface-pattern-scale-down
surface-pattern-scale-up
Most of these are non-issues, (unbundled font for
ft-text-vertical-layout-type1), or very minor issues (radial-gradient
and surface-pattern). The only things in here that look like a real
bug are the surface-pattern-scale-down and surface-pattern-scale-up
tests where the xlib backend results have some non-1.0 alpha that is
very unexpected.
The surface-pattern test was very naive, painting a surface pattern
repeated at identity size. With the new test, the surface pattern
is scaled and rotated. This reveals a serious bug in the PS backend.
- Remove cairo_test_expect_failure. cairo-test.c now checks
env var CAIRO_XFAIL_TESTS to see if the running test is
expected to fail. The reason for expected failure is
appended to the test description.
- Test description is written out.
- Failed/crashed tests also write a line out to stderr (in red),
so one can now redirect stdout to /dev/null to only see failures.
- cairo_test() has been changed to not take the draw function
anymore, instead, draw function is now part of the test struct.
- "make check" doesn't allow limiting backends to test using env
var anymore. To limit backends to test, one should use the
TARGETS variable on the make command line.
- "make check-valgrind" now writes its log to valgrind-log instead
of valgrind.log, to not interfere with test log file processing.
Port to use new cairo_create interface.
Rewrite all tests that were using cairo_set_target_surface to instead create a temporary cairo_t, (eventually to be replaced with cairo_begin_group).
