This setting is only meaningful in conjunction with GDB_PARALLEL. +TESTS + +This variable is used to specify which set of tests to run. +It is passed to make (not runtest) and its contents are a space separated +list of tests to run. + +If using GNU make then the contents are wildcard-expanded using +GNU make's $(wildcard) function. Test paths must be fully specified, +relative to the "testsuite" subdirectory. This allows one to run all +tests in a subdirectory by passing "gdb.subdir/*.exp". +If for some strange reason one wanted to run all tests that begin with +the letter "d" that is also possible: TESTS="*/d*.exp". + +Do not write */*.exp to specify all tests (assuming all tests are only +nested one level deep, which is not necessarily true). This will pick up +.exp files in ancillary directories like "lib" and "config". +Instead write gdb.*/*.exp. + +Example: + + make -j10 check TESTS="gdb.server/[s-w]*.exp */x*.exp" + +If not using GNU make then the value is passed directly to runtest. +If not specified, all tests are run.
