    does cleanup, reports results, etc.
  • Ctrl+C kills all subprocesses correctly and the parent process runs cleanup
  • new command line option parsing helpers
  • 25 testcases were cleaned up and rewritten to use the new test API

o New EXPECT_PASS and EXPECT_FAIL helpers in shell library

o New shell wrappers for checkpoint (futex based) synchronization primitives

o New tst_su wrapper (that makes sure that path to LTP binaries is in $PATH)

o Open Posix Testsuite changes

  • parallel build has been fixed
  • the build process now uses the top level configure parameters
    (CC, CFLAGS, LDLIBS, LDFLAGS)
