2011-06-17tests: remove skip_test_ function; use new skip_ insteadJim Meyering
* tests/init.cfg (skip_test_): Remove function. Use skip_ in place of skip_test_ everywhere else. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_skip_): Remove rule. * tests/**: Use skip_, not skip_test_, everywhere.
2011-05-13tests: use skip_test_, not skip_Jim Meyering
skip_test_ emits its diagnostic both to FD 9 (tty), and to FD 2 (usually the log file), whereas init.sh's skip_ emits only to FD 9. Without that, the log is slightly less useful. * tests/cp/fiemap-2: Use skip_test_, not skip_. * tests/cp/fiemap-perf: Likewise. * tests/du/bigtime: Likewise. * tests/du/files0-from-dir: Likewise. * tests/du/move-dir-while-traversing: Likewise. * tests/init.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Likewise. * tests/misc/stat-nanoseconds: Likewise. * tests/mv/i-3: Likewise. * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart: Likewise. * tests/split/filter: Likewise. Prompted by a report from Pádraig Brady.

2010-12-19sort: use at most 8 threads by defaultPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c (main): If --parallel isn't specified, restrict the number of threads to 8 by default. If the --parallel option is specified, then allow any number of threads to be set, independent of the number of processors on the system. * doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Document the changes to determining the number of threads to use. Mention the memory overhead when using multiple threads. * tests/misc/sort-spinlock-abuse: Allow single core systems that support pthreads. * tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-unique-segv: Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the change in behaviour.

* tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Fix typo in comment.
2010-12-13tests: mark new test as very expensiveJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Don't initialize fail=0 here; that is done in init.sh. This avoids a syntax-check failure. Invoke "Exit $fail" at end, too. Mark as a very expensive test.
2010-12-12tests: test for access to stale thread memoryPaul Eggert
* tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: New tests. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
