Balaji, please check the corresponding .sum files before and after your patch to
make sure that the same number of tests are being tested. We have a nifty
script in contrib/compare_tests for this task.
That's how I verify it. (I grep for the ^FAIL in trunk and the applied branch
and make sure the output files are the same by going through it). Did I miss
anything?
If you're using compare_tests, you should be fine. But just grepping
for FAIL won't do because there are tests that could have passed before,
but are no longer being tested, so they don't show up as a fail. I
believe compare_tests complains with "tests that used to pass but have
disappeared" (or something similar).
And as Jakub has said, check (with and) without parallelization.
Yes, I am doing that also for the patch I am submitting.
Thank you.
