gnatpython-mainloop(1)					    Generic loop for testsuites 				    gnatpython-mainloop(1)

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 col-
       lect_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.
