><P
> Since some of the tests inherently produce environment-dependent

result files. Each regression test can have several comparison files
showing possible results on different platforms. There are two
independent mechanisms for determining which comparison file is used
for each test.
</P
><P
> The first mechanism allows comparison files to be selected for
specific platforms. There is a mapping file,
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>src/test/regress/resultmap</TT
>, that defines
which comparison file to use for each platform.
To eliminate bogus test <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"failures"</SPAN
> for a particular platform,
you first choose or make a variant result file, and then add a line to the
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>resultmap</TT
> file.
</P
><P
> Each line in the mapping file is of the form
</P><PRE
CLASS="SYNOPSIS"
>testname:output:platformpattern=comparisonfilename</PRE
><P>
The test name is just the name of the particular regression test
module. The output value indicates which output file to check. For the
standard regression tests, this is always <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>out</TT
>. The
value corresponds to the file extension of the output file.
The platform pattern is a pattern in the style of the Unix
tool <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>expr</TT
> (that is, a regular expression with an implicit
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>^</TT
> anchor at the start). It is matched against the
platform name as printed by <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>config.guess</TT
>.
The comparison file name is the base name of the substitute result
comparison file.
</P
><P
> For example: some systems interpret very small floating-point values
as zero, rather than reporting an underflow error. This causes a
few differences in the <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>float8</TT
> regression test.
Therefore, we provide a variant comparison file,
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>float8-small-is-zero.out</TT
>, which includes
the results to be expected on these systems. To silence the bogus
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"failure"</SPAN
> message on <SPAN
CLASS="SYSTEMITEM"
>OpenBSD</SPAN
>
platforms, <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>resultmap</TT
> includes:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>float8:out:i.86-.*-openbsd=float8-small-is-zero.out</PRE
><P>
which will trigger on any machine where the output of
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>config.guess</TT
> matches <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>i.86-.*-openbsd</TT
>.
Other lines
in <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>resultmap</TT
> select the variant comparison file for other
platforms where it's appropriate.
</P
><P
> The second selection mechanism for variant comparison files is
much more automatic: it simply uses the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"best match"</SPAN
> among
several supplied comparison files. The regression test driver
script considers both the standard comparison file for a test,
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
><TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>testname</I
></TT
>.out</TT
>, and variant files named
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
><TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>testname</I
></TT
>_<TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>digit</I
></TT
>.out</TT
>
(where the <TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>digit</I
></TT
> is any single digit
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>0</TT
>-<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>9</TT
>). If any such file is an exact match,
the test is considered to pass; otherwise, the one that generates
the shortest diff is used to create the failure report. (If
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>resultmap</TT
> includes an entry for the particular
test, then the base <TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>testname</I
></TT
> is the substitute
name given in <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>resultmap</TT
>.)
</P
><P
> For example, for the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>char</TT
> test, the comparison file
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>char.out</TT
> contains results that are expected
in the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>C</TT
> and <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>POSIX</TT
> locales, while
the file <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>char_1.out</TT
> contains results sorted as
they appear in many other locales.
</P
><P
> The best-match mechanism was devised to cope with locale-dependent
results, but it can be used in any situation where the test results
cannot be predicted easily from the platform name alone. A limitation of
this mechanism is that the test driver cannot tell which variant is
actually <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"correct"</SPAN
> for the current environment; it will just pick
the variant that seems to work best. Therefore it is safest to use this
mechanism only for variant results that you are willing to consider
equally valid in all contexts.
