We have directories in net/lib, and it's a target, and it works, no?
net/lib is not a TARGET in tools/testing/selftests/Makefile. Its Makefile only generates dependencies for other targets: TEST_FILES, TEST_GEN_FILES and TEST_INCLUDES.
Oh right, TEST_FILES vs TEST_INCLUDES :(
Looks like only x86 does some weird stuff and prepends $(OUTPUT) to all test names. Otherwise the only TEST_NAME with a / in it is
x86_64/nx_huge_pages_test.sh
Oh interesting precedent. Let me take a look.
But then again maybe we should give up on the idea of using directories? Use some separator like --, I mean:
mv packetdrill/tcp/inq/client.pkt packetdrill/tcp--inq--client.pkt
Assuming we're moving forward with the interpreter idea we don't need directories for multi-threading, just for organization. Which perhaps isn't worth the time investment? Given that we'd mostly interact with these tests via UI which will flatten it all back?
That's definitely simpler :)
I'd like to keep diffs between packetdrill scripts on github (and Google internal, we have more) and selftests to a minimum. This is invertible, as is rewriting source statements inside the pkt files. But that might be more work and more maintenance in the end.
