gdb-check is a simple script to compare the output of make check for two revisions
Call it and specify the base revision and the revision you want to test.
$ gdb-check -s /path/to/source/binutils-gdb -b /path/to/build/binutils-gdb master feature_branch --dry-run
You can take a look at the commands the script will use. It's time to make sure
it won't kill your cat. Looks good? Repeat without --dry-run.
$ gdb-check -s /path/to/source/binutils-gdb -b /path/to/build/binutils-gdb master feature_branch
If you don't specify the source (-s) or build (-b) directories, the current working directory will be used instead.
You can pass standard arguments in RUNTESTFLAGS using -r/--runtestflags:
$ gdb-check -r=--directory=gdb.python master feature_branch
You can pass a list of tests to execute (glob-style) through the TESTS
variable using -t/--tests:
$ gdb-check -t 'gdb.base/foo-*.exp gdb.base/break.exp'
