Hi Gary, Eric
I'm not sure if there is any possibility to specify a pattern instead of
fixed text in the following line of checks/137.include and many other files
there:
dnl @error{}m4:stdin:1: cannot open `none': No such file or directory
because in our system we have a different format of the message:
cannot open `none': EDC5129I No such file or directory. (errno2=0x05620062)
The first solution that comes to mind is to change the error message under
@error macro, but is there any crossplatform way to do that or specify a
pattern instead of fixed text?
You didn't mention what system this is on.
If you'll look at the script checks/check-them, you will see that the
testsuite already does some post-processing filtering on the actual m4
output to move it into a form that it can be compared against the
expected output embedded in the tests themselves (for example, look at
the setting and use of the $m4name variable). It sounds like your
system's strerror() output (with the extra "EDC5129I" and
"(errno2=0x05620062)" information) would be the perfect candidate for
adding yet another filter to that script.
Patches are welcome.
