Ciao,
this is somewhat a silly request... :-) I am a new user of
the parallel test harness; I have a project with a set of
tests that I want to run under different implementations of
the same language; I put all the tests in a library and then
load the library from test programs, one program for each
language implementation[1].
Due to the way Automake names the .log and .trs files (by
removing the selected file extensions from program files),
for the language implementations Guile and Vicare I have to
name the test programs:
test-sofa-guile.guile
test-sofa-vicare.vicare
rather than just:
test-sofa.guile
test-sofa.vicare
else I get .log and .trs file names conflict; this is a bit
ugly. Unless I missed it, there is no way to overcome this
uglyness with Automake up to version 1.13.
Other users may be in the same situation (for example
Pythonistas also have to deal with multiple language
implementations). So I wonder if it is possible to
introduce an option that disables building the names of .log
and .trs files by first stripping the selected extensions;
so program files like:
test-sofa.guile
test-sofa.vicare
would generate:
test-sofa.guile.log
test-sofa.guile.trs
test-sofa.vicare.log
test-sofa.vicare.trs
with no conflict.
TIA
