[Ocaml-lib-devel] test harness generator

[skaller <sk...@us...>]

I have attached first cut of a test harness generator.
(On my box it all runs, but one of the test cases now segfaults).

to run it use this:

ocamlc -o mktest unix.cma
str.cma mktest.ml && ./mktest && ./extlib_test

from a COPY (PLEASE!!) of extlib-test directory.

This program makes a check for ALL extlib modules.
It searches for files in the current (extlib-test)
directory with this exact format:

test_<author>_<module>_<test_name>.tst

Note the test name is mandatory, and the extension must be .tst.

It generates files:

extlib_test.ml
mtest_<module>.ml
itest_<author>_<module>_<test_name>.ml

and compiles and links everything together, including
the utility util.ml. Bytecode only at the moment.

To make this work, all individual tests mut be renamed
to the correct format.

Note: at present the only thing done to a *.tst file
is to copy it to a *.ml file without touching anything inside.

This code is *not supposed* to clobber any existing files.
