To run the tests, set the ED variable in the Makefile +for the path name of the program to be tested (e.g., /bin/ed), and type +`make'. The tests do not exhaustively verify POSIX compliance nor do +they verify correct 8-bit or long line support. + +The test file suffixes have the following meanings: +.t Template - a list of ed commands from which an ed script is + constructed +.d Data - read by an ed script +.r Result - the expected output after processing data via an ed + script. +.err Error - invalid ed commands that should generate an error + +The output of the tests is written to the two files err.o and scripts.o. +At the end of the tests, these files are grep'ed for error messages, +which look like: + *** The script u.ed exited abnormally *** +or: + *** Output u.o of script u.ed is incorrect *** + +It is assumed that the ed being tested processes escapes (\) in file names. +This is so that a name starting with bang (!) can be read, via: + r \!file +Without the escape, a POSIX ed would attempt to read the output of +the shell command `file'. If the ed being tested does not support escape +processing on file names, then the script `mkscripts.sh' should be modified +accordingly. + +The POSIX requirement that an address range not be used where at most +a single address is expected has been relaxed in this version of ed. +Therefore, the following scripts which test for compliance with this +POSIX rule exit abnormally: +=-err.ed +a1-err.ed +i1-err.ed +k1-err.ed +r1-err.ed + +In addition, one of !1-err.ed or !2.ed will fail, depending on whether or +not ed was compiled with the VI_BANG directive. |
