<section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title>
<list>

<item><c>erlang:error/2</c></item>
<item><c>erlang:exit/1</c></item>
<item><c>erlang:throw/1</c></item> </list>

a hard coded depth limit of 8.</p>

A process calling <seealso

Fix <c>erlang:round/1</c> for large floating point
numbers with an odd absolute value between <c>(1 bsl
52)</c> and <c>(1 bsl 53)</c>. The result was falsely

integer values up to <c>(1 bsl 53)</c> can be represented
as floats with full precision.</p>

<p>
A received SIGTERM signal to beam will generate a
<c>'stop'</c> message to the <c>init</c> process and
terminate the Erlang VM nicely. This is equivalent to
calling <c>init:stop/0</c>.</p>
<p>
Own Id: OTP-14085</p>

Workaround for buggy Android implementation of
<c>PTHREAD_STACK_MIN</c> causing build of runtime system

<section><title>Common_Test 1.14</title>

<section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title>
<list>
<item>
<p>The following corrections and improvements are done in
the common_test hook handling:</p> <list> <item> <p>An
extra argument, <c>Suite</c>, is added as the first
argument to each of the following hook callback
functions:</p> <list>
<item><c>pre_init_per_group</c></item>
<item><c>post_init_per_group</c></item>
<item><c>pre_end_per_group</c></item>
<item><c>post_end_per_group</c></item>
<item><c>pre_init_per_testcase</c></item>
<item><c>post_init_per_testcase</c></item>
<item><c>pre_end_per_testcase</c></item>
<item><c>post_end_per_testcase</c></item>
<item><c>on_tc_fail</c></item>
<item><c>on_tc_skip</c></item> </list> <p>For backwards
compatibility, if the new function is not exported from a
hook callback module, <c>common_test</c> will fall back
to the old interface and call the function without the
<c>Suite</c> argument.</p> </item> <item> <p>If either
<c>init_per_suite</c> or <c>end_per_suite</c> exists, but
not the other, then the non-existing function will be
reported as failed with reason <c>undef</c> in the test
log. The same goes for <c>init/end_per_group</c>. This
has always been a requirement according to the user's
guide, but now <c>common_test</c> is more explicit in the
report.</p> </item> <item> <p>If <c>init_per_suite</c>
was exported from a test suite, but not
<c>end_per_suite</c>, then <c>pre/post_end_per_suite</c>
was called with <c>Suite=ct_framework</c> instead of the
correct suite name. This is now corrected.</p> </item>
<item> <p>If <c>end_per_group</c> was exported from a
suite, but not <c>init_per_group</c>, then
<c>end_per_group</c> was never called. This is now
corrected.</p> </item> <item> <p>Tests that were skipped
before calling <c>pre_init_per_*</c> got faulty calls to
the corresponding <c>post_init_per_*</c>. E.g. if a test
was skipped because <c>suite/0</c> failed, then
<c>post_init_per_suite</c> would be called even though
<c>pre_init_per_suite</c> and <c>init_per_suite</c> were
not called. This is now corrected so a <c>post_*</c>
callback will never be called unless the corresponding
<c>pre_*</c> callback has been called first.</p> </item>
<item> <p>Tests that were skipped before or in
<c>init_per_testcase</c> got faulty calls to
<c>pre_end_per_testcase</c> and
<c>post_end_per_testcase</c>. This is now corrected so
<c>pre/post_end_per_testcase</c> are not called when
<c>end_per_testcase</c> is not called.</p> </item> <item>
<p>If an exit signal causes the test case process to die
while running <c>init_per_testcase</c>, the case was
earlier reported as failed with reason <c>{skip,...}</c>.
This is now corrected so the case will be marked as
skipped.</p> </item> <item> <p>If an exist signal causes
the test case process to die while running
<c>end_per_testcase</c>, the case was earlier marked as
failed. This is now corrected so the status of the test
case is not changed - there is only a warning added to
the comment field.</p> </item> <item> <p>If a test case
was skipped because of option
<c>{force_stop,skip_rest}</c> or because of a failed
sequence, then no <c>tc_start</c> event would be sent,
only <c>tc_done</c>. This is now corrected so both events
are sent.</p> </item> <item> <p>When skipping or failing
in a configuration function, the configuration function
itself would get <c>{auto_skipped,Reason}</c>,
<c>{skipped,Reason}</c> or <c>{failed,Reason}</c> in the
hook callbacks <c>on_tc_skip</c> or <c>on_tc_fail</c>.
The other test cases that were skipped as a result of
this would only get <c>Reason</c> in <c>on_tc_skip</c>.
This is now corrected so even the configuration function
that caused the skip/fail will only get <c>Reason</c> in
the hook callback.</p> </item> </list>

<p>
When a test case was skipped by a <c>skip_cases</c>
statement in a test spec, then <c>cth_surefire</c> would
erroneously mark the previous test case as skipped in the
xml report. The actually skipped test case would not be
present in the xml report at all. This is now corrected.</p>

<p>The <c>multiply_timetraps</c> and
<c>scale_timetraps</c> options did not work with test
specifications, which has been corrected.</p>

ct_testspec:get_tests/1 is added. This is used by rebar3
to get all directories that must be compiled when running
tests from testspec - instead of implementing testspec
parsing in rebar3.</p>
