os-test expansion
Comprehensive POSIX compliance test suite for operating system implementations
os-test measures interoperability and differences between every POSIX operating system (Linux, BSD, macOS, and many more). This project expands os-test by adding API definition files for historical POSIX versions. It will also add an exhaustive test suite to test if each POSIX program and that each option works correctly, and expand the basic test suite to use each symbolic constant in the standard library headers at least once. Additional miscellaneous test suites will be added as well. The final outcome is that os-test has a 100% basic coverage of every POSIX facility available to application programmers and users, and an ever-increasing detailed coverage of selected subsystems.
