[LTP] LTP Build - Would it be possible to handle testcase build failures without failing all the build process?

[LTP] LTP Build - Would it be possible to handle testcase build failures without failing all the build process?

[Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues]

LTP does have a large amount of testcases, and most of the testcases are
independent from each other, thus IMHO, a single compilation failure
should not fail the whole build process, instead, the tests that could
not be compiled should be marked as BROKEN, and should not be executed
during LTP execution. 

Do we have any plans to handle individual build failures in a way that
doesn't fail the whole build process? 

Thanks for your attention!

Lucas

-mike

Yes, that would be great. And for that an m4 rule file has to be written
for each and every LTP test, checking:
1) Header dependency,
2) Library dependency, etc
before compiling.
