This is very useful for debugging multithreaded programs. Rich.

I should probably start by saying this patch series isn't ready for review yet. This patch series adds a test harness to libguestfs. It allows us to run the tests outside the ordinary 'make check' path in the build tree. In particular, you can use this to run tests when libguestfs has been installed. 'make check' and the other 'make check-*' rules still work. The

libguestfs has used double and triple underscores in identifiers. These aren't valid for global names in C++. (http://stackoverflow.com/a/228797) These large but completely mechanical patches change the illegal identifiers to legal ones. Rich.

This is a more complete patch to add the test harness. The only parts missing now are the language bindings (except OCaml). The language bindings need a bit more thought. At the moment most language binding tests are done through some sort of shell script like perl/run-perl-tests which either runs each test itself or uses some language-specific machinary to run each test. The problem with that

Since v2: - Add perl tests. - Reworked and fixed the tests for virt-builder. - Some further minor bug fixes.

Since v3: - A large number of fixes, especially for running the tests on installed libguestfs. - Fixed EXTRA_DIST rules throughout. - Extra patch 17/17 which is a tidy-up of the generated XML listing guests. Rich.
