The testsuite can be run on embedded systems over serial ports, where
is sometimes limited communication available.
ah, indeed .. I remember such when 8-bits/500kHz bus was state-of-the-
art ;)
One wonders if things are quite so grim these days though.
Using two functions is flexible in a different way: it means that you
can compile the testsuite with -Dabort=my_favorite_abort and link
against your own library. So do that. You can do this with magic in
site.exp, but don't ask me what that magic is because I no longer
remember.
I'll have to figure that out and report back.
Thanks for the info,
Iain
