[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] build: disarm the TCG unit test trap
Posted by Daniel P. Berrange 6 years, 4 months ago
Developers sometimes mistakenly run 'make test' instead of 'make check'.
'make test' triggers the ancient, unmaintained tcg unit tests in
tests/tcg/Makefile which have long since ceased compiling.

Even if someone fixes the TCG tests, it makes little sense to put
them in a 'make test' target, rather they should be 'make check-tcg',
possibly wired up as a dependency of 'make check'.

In the meantime, this patch disarms the 'make test' trap by turning
it into a synonym for 'make check'.

I'm inclined to prefer having 'make test' just fail rather
than silently behave like 'make check'.
