NAME

   gnatpython-mainloop - command line interface for testsuite mainloop (in
   the ACATS/Fixed bugs style)

SYNOPSIS

   gnatpython-mainloop [options] test_list_file command_pattern

DESCRIPTION

   gnatpython-mainloop program use the MainLoop package which  provides  a
   class  called  MainLoop  that  provides  a  generic implementation of a
   testsuite main loop. Parallelism, abortion and time control are the key
   features.

   Each MainLoop instance controls a set of Workers whose number is set by
   the user. The list of tasks/tests to be achieved  by  the  workers,  is
   provided  by  a  list.  The mainloop distribute the elements to the the
   workers when they have nothing to do. Usually, an element is  a  string
   identifying  the  test to be run. An element can also be a list in that
   case the worker will execute sequentially each "subelement".  This case
   is  used  to  address dependency between tests (occurs for example with
   the ACATS).

   When a worker is asked to run  a  test,  the  command  is  executed  by
   calling  run_testcase  (testid).  Once  a test is finished the function
   collect_result  will  be  called  with  test   id,   and   process   (a
   gnatpython.ex.Run   object)   and  the  job_info  as  parameters.  Both
   run_testcase and collect_result are user defined functions.

   Note also that from the user point view  there  is  no  parallelism  to
   handle.   The two user defined function run_testcase and collect_result
   are called sequentially.

   Note that this main page is written using comments from the code by the
   package maintainer.
