The "expected output" files we provide must be generated in the same locale the tester (that is, the helpers) are run. Otherwise helpers using the 'sort' utility may generate output different than our provided "expected output", hence failing the tests. Therefore we: (1) Regenerate the "expected output" files in the C locale. (2) Make sure the tester is run in the C locale. (Tip: to regenerate the "expected output" files we deleted all the *.output files and run the tester with "LC_ALL=C ./run --create-output".) Signed-off-by: Mooffie <mooffie@gmail.com> |

Overview
--------
This tree contains unit tests.
To compile and run the tests, do 'make check' (either in the top folder,
or just in the folder containing the tests you're interested in).
IMPORTANT: To compile the tests, you need to have the "Check" unit
testing framework[1] installed.[2] If you have it installed, you will see
"Unit tests: yes" in configure's summary message; if you don't see this
message, you won't be able to compile the tests.[3]
Tips and tricks
---------------
* To be able to step with the debugger into test code, see [4]. E.g., do:
$ export CK_FORK=no

[2]: Your package manager likely has it.
[3]: Actually, some tests (like src/vfs/extfs/helpers-list) don't use
this framework and will compile just fine. But that's the exception.
