Pass appropriate -jN option to ctest (via ARGS variable in the Makefile) to
enable support for running tests in parallel. Similarly to makefile build
system, ctest -j1 mode is enforced even when parallel mode in debhelper is not
explicitly enabled.
Unlike make, CTest does not have "unlimited parallel" setting (-j implies -j1).
So in order to simulate unlimited parallel, allow to fork a huge number of
threads instead.
sub test {
my $this=shift;
+ # Unlike make, CTest does not have "unlimited parallel" setting (-j implies
+ # -j1). So in order to simulate unlimited parallel, allow to fork a huge
+ # number of threads instead.
+ my $parallel = ($this->get_parallel() > 0) ? $this->get_parallel() : 999;
$ENV{CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE} = 1;
- return $this->SUPER::test(@_);
+ return $this->SUPER::test(@_, "ARGS+=-j$parallel");
}
