This is needed when mixing D and C code, as it's possible to end up
witha combination of linkers and compilres such that C produces pdb
files but D does not.
This allows the harness to apply the version correctly, putting it in the right
place, dropping the right amount of numbers, etc.
pdb taking a version allows it to be more easily copied from the
shared_lib type.
Add coverage of a simple 'configure then build' sequence, to catch bugs
which occur with that.
Also, to simplify returning results from functions called by
_run_test(), allow it also throw TestResult objects, which run_test()
catches and returns.
Looking at 45c8557d, the idea behind this seems to be that a test could
conditionally indicate that the list of installed files should not be
validated by creating that file.
It's no longer used anywhere.
Also remove a lingering no-install-files file which isn't used since commit
c693bd9b.
Just add or alter attributes of the TestResult object, rather than many,
many invocations of the constructor with very similar arguments.
Define helper methods for TestResult to add the results of a step and
set the failure reason.
This move the sorting logic into the TestDef class itself, which
simplifies sorting them.
Additionally it remove overcomplicated sort logic, because python
strings are compared character by character, we don't need to do the
split and cast to int, we know that realistically a maximum of 4
characters (the first 4 numbers) are going to be compared in most cases.
* xenial doesn't ship many dependencies, so make them all optional
since we don't guarantee that everything will work
* cmake/{5,6}: needs stdlib.h for EXIT_SUCCESS on GCC 5
* common/222: needs C++11, and GCC 5 doesn't understand `auto`
correctly unless we explicitly enable it.
* frameworks/1 boost: xenial doesn't ship boost_python3, so make it
properly optional
* frameworks/6 gettext: gettext can be installed without xgettext,
which doesn't cause the project to fail, but the installed files
list is different which causes the test to fail.
* frameworks/7 gnome: gobject-introspection can't be enabled because
the sanitizer unit test detects leaks in glib and fails
Scalapack uses a library stack that can be challenging to manage.
Not least of all since many Scalapacks ship with broken / incomplete
pkg-config files and CMake FindScalapack.cmake
This resolves those issues for typical Scalapack setups including:
* Linux: Intel MKL or OpenMPI + Netlib
* MacOS: Intel MKL or OpenMPI + Netlib
* Windows: Intel MKL (OpenMPI not available on Windows)
Fortran: check for undeclared variables by forcing implicit none everywhere
C/C++: check for unused parameters and return types
removed unused variables from test cases
ci: do missing return and unused arg check with Github Actions
Now that the linkers are split out of the compilers this enum is
only used to know what platform we're compiling for. Which is
what the MachineInfo class is for
