3A lot of the tests written in C use assert(), only printing 'ok' at the end
4of the program if none of the assert()s fired.
5
6This is wrong.  They should do the test outside of an assert(), and print
7'ok' or 'not ok' as appropriate, instead of bailing out part way through.
8That way if a test starts failing we'll know exactly which one failed, and
9the other tests can continue.
10
11This probably means a simple libtest.so that they can link against to
12provide an ok() function (the non-fatal assert), probably with some helper
13functions to keep track of test numbers and so on.

16
17Any of the tests written in C should link against the libraries under
18/usr/obj rather than using the system libraries.

22Not everything's been converted to the new style.  In particular;
23
24   atm/
25   ccd/
26   some of geom_*/
27   some of netinet/
28   nfsmmap/
29   p1003_1b/
30   some of pipe/
31   security/
32   some of sockets/
33   tls/
34
35needs to be converted.  And fsx/ and gaithrstress/ are (I think) standalone
36programs rather than individual tests, so aren't amenable to this sort of
37conversion.
