Subject: [OE-core][PATCH v2] libpcap: add ptest support
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 15:45:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928134522.51765-1-pratik.farkase@est.tech> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928130950.49433-1-pratik.farkase@est.tech>
Build libpcap's upstream testprogs and run the TESTrun harness under
ptest. The harness drives filtertest, translatetest and enumeratetest to
compile and translate BPF filter expressions against bundled savefiles and
compares the results with the embedded expected output. These tests are
offline and deterministic and need no capture privileges or network.
Tested on qemux86-64 with ptest-runner: 14801 passed, 0 failed.
Signed-off-by: Pratik Farkase <pratik.farkase@est.tech>
---
Changes in v2:
- run-ptest now reports one PASS/SKIP/FAIL line per test case instead of a
single result for the whole harness.
