For new system headers, try + to add them here rather than copying to exact unittest (if possible). + It might slow compilation down slightly, but makes the code easier to manage. + Make sure it is included first. +* Use `assert()` on everything to check return values. +* Use `sys_xxx()` to access the syscall via LSS (compared to `xxx()` which tends + to come from the C library). +* If you need a tempfile, use `tempfile.XXXXXX` for templates with helpers like + `mkstemp`. Try to clean them up when you're done with them. + These will be created in the cwd, but that's fine. +* Don't worry about trying to verify the kernel/C library API and various edge + cases. The goal of LSS is to make sure that we pass args along correctly to + the syscall only. +* Make sure to leave comments in the test so it's clear what behavior you're + trying to verify (and how). + +Feel free to extend [test_skel.h] with more helpers if they're useful to more +than one test. + +If you're looking for a simple example, start with [unlink.c](./unlink.c). +You should be able to copy this over and replace the content of `main()`. + +## Running The Tests + +Simply run `make`. This will compile & execute all the tests on your local +system. A standard `make clean` will clean up all the objects. + +If you need to debug something, then the programs are simply named `xxx_test` +and can easily be thrown into `gdb ./xxx_test`. + +We have rudimentary cross-compile testing via gcc and clang. Try running +`make cross` -- for any toolchains you don't have available, it should skip +things automatically. This only verifies the compilation & linking stages +though. + +The cross-compilers can be created using <http://crosstool-ng.github.io/>. + +[Makefile]: ./Makefile +[test_skel.h]: ./test_skel.h |
