[Ltrace-devel] 0002-Fix-FAIL-in-wchar.exp-test.patch

[Ivan Zakharyaschev]

(Sorry, I missed the correct patch which I am commenting in the previous 
message. It also had a wrong title. Now I'm correcting this by repeating 
that message with the right subject and the discussed patch included.)

Hello!

It would be more natural just to declare this test (of a feature which has 
not yet been implemented) as "X-FAIL"; I mean: which is expected to fail. 
It will always be run, and in future, if something changes, we'll notice 
the change in the test results and act
accordingly.

Does the testing system (dejagnu?) has a way to say that a test is 
expected not to pass, but to fail (and not count it as a real failure)?

(A switch like a define is better suited to reflect the features of the 
environment, external to our project; as an advice for the other patch: 
perhaps, whether we have the debuginfo for glibc available could be 
reflected by a "switch".)

Best regards,
Ivan
