Use our own code for automated submits to QA (and/or provide a summary) and revert back to producing 2 files, .out and .exp (or whatever extension) so analysis can be done, with whatever tool the user wants to use. The array error in 003.phpt, wasn't clear to me in any diff format, untill sdiff was used. That way you have the best of both worlds.

It's a good idea, but I'd rather see an unified diff with some context. Maybe use diff when it's available, and fall back on this code when it's not. Sander On Thu, Aug 22, 2002 at 02:46:57AM +0200, Marcus Boerger wrote:

The following patch produces *.diff files similar to diff command. These would allow for easier checks in faild tests when test combines multiple function checks in one test file or the test uses var_dump for output. For example i changed precision to 13 in array test 003.phpt The tests now produce 003.diff 004- float(-0.33333333333333) 004+ float(-0.3333333333333) 034- float(-0.33333333333333) 034+ float(-0.3333333333333) 050- float(-0.33333333333333) 050+ float(-0.3333333333333) When the test fails because of memory leaks and such then of cause .log files are better to read.
