A bug in having the test harness compare_output that was supposed to
compensate for VMS differences in output caused a number of tests to
report success that actually failed.
Running with out -keep, so do not have an exact count of logs.
Current status: 136 Tests in 54 Categories Failed.
Known issues so far:
features/archives: fail - 3/10 pass.
Ticket 41758 - VMS archive support incomplete.
features/override: with patch - pass 4/4.
features/parallism: fail - 3/9 pass, 1 skipped.
VMS not running jobs in parallel so output in wrong order.
features/recursion: fail - 1/2 pass.
Looks like it is expecting environment variables to
pass information to a child, and child is not getting
them.
features/reinvoke: fail - 4/5 pass.
One run is not interpreting a macro properly.
features/se_explicit: fail 9/10 pass
$(addsuffix ) and $(addprefix ) expect space delimited
arguments. On VMS commas are used. Not sure how that
can be reconciled.
features/vpath3: Skipping.
Test requires .LIBPATTERNS, which does not appear
to be implemented on VMS, yet the variables/LIBPATTERNS
tests are passing.
features/vpathgpath: fail - 0/1 pass
gpaths not followed on VMS. Reason why not obvious.
Still working my way triaging the other issues.
