I will give it a try.Mmm, the more I think on this, the more I find this idea interesting. The only problem is that the framework itself will be near to impossible to be portable. But hey, as the ROADMAP states, extreme portability is not a goal :-)I run FreeBSD here so your kernel interface should be usable here ;-)
Heh, I suspected so. Well, if I end up trying it, I'll first target NetBSD. Hopefully, the kernel-side code will not be too hard to port to other systems.
BTW, your examples on http://www.netbsd.org/~jmmv/atf/examples.html
do not work:
o In t_example_1.cpp: It should be ATF_ADD_TEST_CASE(tcs, pow_func)
instead of tcs.push_back(&pow_func)
Oops, obsolete text. Will fix it now, thanks.
o In t_example_2: atf.header.subr and atf.footer.subr are necessary
to be included and you have to set Prog_Name and call main.
This is not an error. You must use 'atf-compile' on shell scripts to generate the final, working executable. Looks like I should add a note about this in the web page :-)
(By the way, also look at atf(7) after installing atf-0.4. I hope it will clarify many things, and if not, please let me know!)
Thanks.
