Some of the tests are making direct GL calls. Eventually we want
Clutter not to link directly against any GL library so that it can
leave Cogl to load it dynamically. As a step towards getting this to
work this patch changes the tests to resolve the symbols using
cogl_get_proc_address instead of linking directly.
The TODO() macro for adding new tests to the test suite has always meant
to be implemented like the TODO block in Test::More, i.e. a test that is
assumed to fail, and which warns if it unexpectedly succeeds.
Since GTest lacks the expressivity of Test::More, the implementation
just verifies that the tests marked as TODO actually fail, and will fail
if they happen to succeed - at which point the developer will have to
change the macro to SIMPLE or SKIP.
The units under the conformance test suite should be able to use
external files. Linking the files in tests/conform like the
interactive tests do seems like a hack piled on top of a hack, so
instead we should provide a programmatic way for a conformance
test unit to get the full path of a file, regardless of where the
tests/data directory is.
We can use a define to get the full path of tests/data and then
a function using g_build_filename() to construct the path to the
file we want.

The tests have been reorganised into different categories: conformance,
interactive and micro benchmarks.
- conformance tests can be run as part of automated tests
- interactive tests are basically all the existing tests
- micro benchmarks focus on a single performance metric
I converted the timeline tests to conformance tests and also added some
tests from Neil Roberts and Ebassi.
Note: currently only the conformance tests use the glib test APIs,
though the micro benchmarks should too.
The other change is to make the unit tests link into monolithic binaries
which makes the build time for unit tests considerably faster. To deal
with the extra complexity this adds to debugging individual tests I
have added some sugar to the makefiles so all the tests can be run
directly via a symlink and when an individual test is run this way,
then a note is printed to the terminal explaining exactly how that test
may be debugged using GDB.
There is a convenience make rule: 'make test-report', that will run all
the conformance tests and hopefully even open the results in your web
browser. It skips some of the slower timeline tests, but you can run
those using 'make full-report'
