- Added the littlefs license note to the scripts.
- Adopted parse_intermixed_args everywhere for more consistent arg
handling.
- Removed argparse's implicit help text formatting as it does not
work with perse_intermixed_args and breaks sometimes.
- Used string concatenation for argparse everywhere, uses backslashed
line continuations only works with argparse because it strips
redundant whitespace.
- Consistent argparse formatting.
- Consistent openio mode handling.
- Consistent color argument handling.
- Adopted functools.lru_cache in tracebd.py.
- Moved unicode printing behind --subscripts in traceby.py, making all
scripts ascii by default.
- Renamed pretty_asserts.py -> prettyasserts.py.
- Renamed struct.py -> struct_.py, the original name conflicts with
Python's built in struct module in horrible ways.
These are just some minor quality of life improvements
- Added a "make build-test" alias
- Made test runner a positional arg for test.py since it is almost
always required. This shortens the command line invocation most of the
time.
- Added --context to test.py
- Renamed --output in test.py to --stdout, note this still merges
stderr. Maybe at some point these should be split, but it's not really
worth it for now.
- Reworked the test_id parsing code a bit.
- Changed the test runner --step to take a range such as -s0,12,2
- Changed tracebd.py --block and --off to take ranges
Based on a handful of local hacky variations, this sort of trace
rendering is surprisingly useful for getting an understanding of how
different filesystem operations interact with the underlying
block-device.
At some point it would probably be good to reimplement this in a
compiled language. Parsing and tracking the trace output quickly
becomes a bottleneck with the amount of trace output the tests
generate.
Note also that since tracebd.py run on trace output, it can also be
used to debug logged block-device operations post-run.
