[ipxe-devel] Self tests in iPXE

[Michael Brown]

iPXE now includes a rudimentary self-test facility, which is inspired by 
Perl's Test::Simple.  For example:

    INIT_LIST_HEAD ( list );
    ok ( list_empty ( list ) );
    list_add ( entry, list );
    ok ( ! list_empty ( list ) );
    ok ( list_contains ( entry, list ) );

The basic idea is to make it trivially easy to write test code, with the ok() 
function taking care of reporting results, checking for assertion failures, 
etc.

I've implemented tests for the functions in list.h; the sample code is in 
tests/list_test.c.  If anyone wants to contribute tests for other areas of the 
code, that would be extremely welcome.  :)
