-This directory contains a battery of tests that exercise all the
-functionality of ACE on Win32 and UNIX. These tests can be executed
-in a single pass via a shell script run_tests.sh (on UNIX) or a batch
-file run_tests.bat (on Win32).
-
-On UNIX, by default all the output from the tests will be stored in
-separate files in the ./log/ directory. However, you can override
-this by setting the ACE_TEST_DIR environment variable to another
-prefix. On Win32 all the output is stored in separate files in
-C:\temp\log\.
-
-________________________________________
-
-Please follow these directions when adding a new test to
-$ACE_ROOT/tests:
-
-1. Use appropriate ACE_START_TEST and ACE_END_TEST macros in main ()
-2. Add test to Makefile
-3. Add test to MS project files (tests.dsp and version_tests/version_tests.dsp)
- (... and tests.mdp and version_tests/version_tests.mdp (for MSVC 4.2))
-4. Add test to all or most of these:
-
- run_tests.bat, run_tests.psosim, run_tests.sh, and run_tests.vxworks.

-We had problems running the batch file on Windows 95 and Windows NT
-using the native DOS prompt. However we were able to get around this
-problem by using a program called "4DOS for Windows NT" which also
-displays a DOS prompt but allows us to run batch files through it.
-
-The tests have been run on UNIX, pSOS, Windows NT, and Windows 95 and they
-all work with the following exceptions:
-
-1. Name_Server_Test on Windows 95: this does not work on Windows 95
- since Windows 95 has a different model for shared memory and does
- not support explicitly selecting shared memory addresses.
-
-2. UPIPE_Test and SPIPE_Test on Windows 95: these do not work on
- Windows 95 since Windows 95 does not support the server side
- functionality of accepting connections from clients using named pipes.
-
-3. Proactor_Test (to be added) on Windows 95: this does not work on
- Windows 95 since Windows 95 does not support I/O completion ports.
-
-4. Of the tests (believed) relevant to the single threaded port to pSOSim,
- Sigset_Ops_Test, Sock_Connector_Test, Priority_Reactor_Test,
- Process_Strategy_Test, and Service_Config_Test are still failing.
- These are being debugged and will either be corrected or, if there
- are unsupported features in these tests, removed from the test suite for
- pSOSim.
-
-5. The set of tests for pSOSim will be expanded to include those that require
- multiple threads, with the release of the multi-threaded port to pSOSim.
-
-Notes:
-
-1. Each test creates a log file and writes it to the ./log/
- directory. The log directory can be changed in the test_config.h
- file.
-
-2. Each log file contains a time stamp of when the test began and also
- a time stamp indicating when the test ended. If the ending time stamp
- is missing, you can assume that the test did not succeed.
-
-3. None of the tests require any command line parameters. This is in
- accordance with the keeping the test-suite a "one-button" test. If
- any of the tests require any variable parameters these are
- specified in test_config.h.
-
-4. Time_Service_Test executes the Time Server and Clerk components
- as two processes and so the executable "main" need to be present in the
- netsvcs/bin directory. These components rely on config files. Two
- sample config files are also present in the test-suite, namely
- UNIXserver.conf and UNIXclerk.conf (and for Win32, Win32server.conf
- and Win32clerk.conf).
-
-Please see run_tests.vxworks for information on the status of
-tests on VxWorks.
-
-Please see run_tests.psosim for information on the status of tests on pSOSim.
-Run_tests.psosim is an executable shell script that runs all tests that are
-(believed) relevant to the single threaded port to pSOSim.
