[Gretl-devel] Re: sscanf -> segfault
Hi Hélio,
Good idea. By the way, we have in our workspace repository a folder
where to put tests into. Have a look here, please:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gretl/workspace/ci/master/tree/tests/README.md
I think it would be nice to write this test using gretl and/ or bash.
The process could be:
1. Create a ascii file with all commands parsed from somewhere (I think
we already a have a job for this); delimited by \n
2. Execute a gretl job which
a) loops over each line of this ascii file,
b) store a text file (foo.inp) with the content: 'CMD' where 'CDM' is
for instance 'ols',
c) execute another gretl job using the 'shell' command: 'gretlcli
foo.inp'
d) Retrieve the exit code of this process,
e) Finish the loop,
f) List all commands which let to some unusual error code (referring
to a segfault or so).
Best,
Artur
