- Subject: Clearify running testsuite as part of patch submission
Marek and myself just discussed about the testsuite on IRC and I've learned
about the "xcheck" make target.
I suggest that the "running the testsuite with a patch" gets clarified as:
Run the whole testsuite with make "xcheck". Also, check-abi should be run
in any case, thus you need to configure with --enable-check-abi.
So, I suggest that we add to the wiki page
http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist in section
"Testing" something like:
Configure with --enable-check-abi and run the whole testsuite with "make
xcheck".
Ok?
Andreas
