Hello.
For my common lisp testing project I aggregate results of a library test suite into single value - ok/fail.
I just tested ECL and have the following output from CFFI test suite:
4 out of 228 total tests failed: DEFCFUN.NOOP, CALLBACKS.BFF.1, STRING.ENCODING.UTF-16.BASIC, STRING.ENCODINGS.ALL.BASIC. No unexpected failures.
What meaning do you put into the term "expected failure"? Does it mean the library is buggy, but these bugs are known? Or it means that some non-required features are absent, but the library in general OK?
I am interested in both short answer - as a library author, how do you think CFFI test suite should be marked if only expected failures present - OK or FAIL?
And also I am curious in this concrete example, what these 4 failures mean for CFFI on ECL?
Best regards, - Anton
