In the recent codebase update (8bf6fbd00d (Merge branch
'js/doc-unit-tests', 2023-12-09)), a new unit testing framework was
merged, providing a standardized approach for testing C code. Prior to
this update, some unit tests relied on the test helper mechanism,
lacking a dedicated unit testing framework. It's more natural to perform
these unit tests using the new unit test framework.
This commit migrates the unit tests for C character classification
functions (isdigit(), isspace(), etc) from the legacy approach
using the test-tool command `test-tool ctype` in t/helper/test-ctype.c
to the new unit testing framework (t/unit-tests/test-lib.h).
The migration involves refactoring the tests to utilize the testing
macros provided by the framework (TEST() and check_*()).

Memory pool allocations that require a new block and would fill at
least half of it are handled specially. Before 158dfeff3d (mem-pool:
add life cycle management functions, 2018-07-02) they used to be
allocated outside of the pool. This patch made mem_pool_alloc() create
a bespoke block instead, to allow releasing it when the pool gets
discarded.
Unfortunately mem_pool_alloc() returns a pointer to the start of such a
bespoke block, i.e. to the struct mp_block at its top. When the caller
writes to it, the management information gets corrupted. This affects
mem_pool_discard() and -- if there are no other blocks in the pool --
also mem_pool_alloc().
Return the payload pointer of bespoke blocks, just like for smaller
allocations, to protect the management struct.
Also update next_free to mark the block as full. This is only strictly
necessary for the first allocated block, because subsequent ones are
inserted after the current block and never considered for further
allocations, but it's easier to just do it in all cases.
Add a basic unit test to demonstrate the issue by using
mem_pool_calloc() with a tiny block size, which forces the creation of a
bespoke block.

Visual C interpolates `__FILE__` with the absolute _Windows_ path of
the source file. GCC interpolates it with the relative path, and the
tests even verify that.
So let's make sure that the unit tests only emit such paths.

This patch contains an implementation for writing unit tests with TAP
output. Each test is a function that contains one or more checks. The
test is run with the TEST() macro and if any of the checks fail then the
test will fail. A complete program that tests STRBUF_INIT would look
like
#include "test-lib.h"
#include "strbuf.h"
static void t_static_init(void)
{
struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
check_uint(buf.len, ==, 0);
check_uint(buf.alloc, ==, 0);
check_char(buf.buf[0], ==, '\0');
}
int main(void)
{
TEST(t_static_init(), "static initialization works);
return test_done();
}
The output of this program would be
ok 1 - static initialization works
1..1
If any of the checks in a test fail then they print a diagnostic message
to aid debugging and the test will be reported as failing. For example a
failing integer check would look like
# check "x >= 3" failed at my-test.c:102
# left: 2
# right: 3
not ok 1 - x is greater than or equal to three
There are a number of check functions implemented so far. check() checks
a boolean condition, check_int(), check_uint() and check_char() take two
values to compare and a comparison operator. check_str() will check if
two strings are equal. Custom checks are simple to implement as shown in
the comments above test_assert() in test-lib.h.
Tests can be skipped with test_skip() which can be supplied with a
reason for skipping which it will print. Tests can print diagnostic
messages with test_msg(). Checks that are known to fail can be wrapped
in TEST_TODO().
There are a couple of example test programs included in this
patch. t-basic.c implements some self-tests and demonstrates the
diagnostic output for failing test. The output of this program is
checked by t0080-unit-test-output.sh. t-strbuf.c shows some example
unit tests for strbuf.c
The unit tests will be built as part of the default "make all" target,
to avoid bitrot. If you wish to build just the unit tests, you can run
"make build-unit-tests". To run the tests, you can use "make unit-tests"
or run the test binaries directly, as in "./t/unit-tests/bin/t-strbuf".
