Still need to add the comments in the source code. Currently I've
seeded it with the libprotobuf-c files. I've configured it
to make man pages and html pages. Might not be ideal, but makes it easy
for me to check things (html is nicer, but man pages are handier for
remote servers).
It’s important to note that, differently from what we’ve seen for
the serial test harness (see Parallel Test Harness), the
AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT and TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variables cannot be use
to define a custom test runner; the LOG_COMPILER and LOG_FLAGS (or
their extension-specific counterparts) should be used instead:
## This is WRONG!
AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = PERL5LIB='$(srcdir)/lib' $(PERL) -Mstrict -w
## Do this instead.
AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = PERL5LIB='$(srcdir)/lib'; export PERL5LIB;
LOG_COMPILER = $(PERL)
AM_LOG_FLAGS = -Mstrict -w
(http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Parallel-Test-Harness.html)
Makefile.am: add valgrind to the AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
configure.ac: enable valgrind testing option for ./configure
m4/valgrind-tests.m4: enable tracing children for libtool wrapper
script compatibility, but ignore standard binaries in /usr or /bin
there's not much point to having the "private" definitions split out
into a separate header file. they're still in the namespace and there's
nothing that can be done to prevent "unauthorized" uses. just integrate
the definitions into the main header file but put them in the bottom and
note that they're "private".
this makes it very slightly easier to copy the protobuf-c support
library into another project wholesale, since one less file is required.
for some reason, "make distcheck" fails when the build is configured
with --disable-protoc. i haven't been able to track down the root cause
(it appears the build is trying to generate the generated pb-c files for
the test cases, but the test cases should be disabled when
--disable-protoc is specified). so, remove the --disable-protoc option.
libprotobuf-c should always be tested as part of a build, and this can't
be done unless protoc-c is built. this also reduces the number of build
combinations that need to be tested.
