Problem Text
Test cases: base/poll25, base/readv22
The setup of these test cases presumes the existence of physical
terminal ports and that the branding user has read and write access
to these physical ports. There is no such requirement in the
specification for the existence of physical terminals.
I reference PG4U.00085 to prove that the test suite is in fact
requiring physical terminals or devices for these tests: PG4U.00085:
"Section 5.1.4 Terminal Devices, in the User's Guide, describes the
requirements for VSU_TERMIOS_LOOP and VSU_TERMIOS_TTY. In all cases
VSU_TERMIOS_LOOP and VSU_TERMIOS_TTY are required to be physical
ports not pseudo-terminals."
The first rationale is a reading of section 5.1.4, p. 29 of the
User's guide, August 28, 1995. The only words used
to describe VSU_TERMIOS_LOOP and VSU_TERMIOS_TTY are as follows:
"The names of the special files for terminal devices"
All the other wording pertains to Curses or XCurses tests.
Under the main heading, also, the following statement:
"The user running VSU must have read and write access for all three
terminal devices configured."
The words "physical ports" or "physical devices" does not appear.
The second and main rationale is that this test cannot require
the use of physical terminal ports as these are not part of the
standard. The loopback functionality can be demonstrated with
a software loopback program but no such program is provided.
A loopback terminal cable method is provided for RS-232
asynchronous terminal ports, but such ports are also not required
by the standard.
In many of the existing test cases the words: "No portable means
to induce the condition", or some variant thereof is used.
I can think of no better example than the requirement of
physical devices in a loopback configuration as a nonportable
testing requirement. We are able to use software and pseudo-terminals
to demonstrate functionality (a 20-line C program), but we feel that
the test and the documentation in Section 5.1.4 of the user's guide
is fundamentally flawed.
I have used the following settings in tetexec.cfg to reflect
the unsupported nature of physical terminals. The journals
above reflect those settings:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
VSU_TERMIOS_LOOP=
# VSU_TERMIOS_TTY is the special file name of a terminal port.
# The user running the test suite must have read and write permission
# for this device.
VSU_TERMIOS_TTY=
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This was done to address the concerns raised by PG4U.00097
