Question

I’m working on a thread library which implement user level threads (i have something like pthread_setscope which works) and I’m looking for some set of tests to avoid writing one for every function I implement (mutexes, conditions, etc …)

Does anyone know something like that?

Here is the OpenGroup POSIX Threads Test Suite :

The test suite can be run in the following modes :

• POSIX 1003.1-1996 mode, covering Pthreads only.
• UNIX 98 mode, covering Pthreads and the XSH5 extensions
• POSIX 1003.1-2003 mode
• UNIX 03 mode

This allows the test suite to easily be used during development of your threads implementation, for example initially you might only want to run the POSIX 1003.1-1996 subset.

The assertion counts are as follows:

• POSIX 96 MODE: PTHR.hdr 286, PTHR.os 445
• UNIX98 MODE: PTHR.hdr 365, PTHR.os 563

There is also the IEEE POSIX Certification Test Suites.

Finally you can have a look at the Open POSIX Test Suite.
