hi,

I'm working on Linux support for code page enabled string types (branch cpstrnew).

In general, is their a special way that the test projects in '<fpc>/tests/test/*' should be run?

Sorry, I'm used to FPCUnit or DUnit2 test cases which gives a clear indication if a test passed or failed.

Regards,

From fpc/tests/readme.txt:

***
Writing a test
--------------
A test should have a name on the form t*.pp, to be recognized as a test. It should return 0 on success, any other value indicates failure. ***

The "It should return" refers to the program exit code.

Ah thanks! And that would explain the lines with Halt(1) at the end of those test projects :-)

No idea how I missed that. :-(
