Hi Andrew: Right after I sent off the last message going along with Maurice's wishes about no returned error code for plabort, I realized there is a good option to get ctest right without affecting the PLplot core; return from the test_xxx.sh scripts with a non-zero status code if any command output includes the string "PLPLOT ERROR".
I have committed an implementation of this idea for test/test_c.sh.in. I have tested this and it works. In particular you need the original test to pick up any segfaults that might occur as well as the new test to check for "PLPLOT ERROR". I would appreciate you reviewing the change in case I put in something there which might not work for all shells or there is an obviously better implementation. Once you like test/test_c.sh.in could you propagate to the other test_xxx.sh.in scripts? Thanks in advance. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
