Description
From @KurtPfeifle in ippsample issue 60:
After meanwhile quite a few ipp-1.1.test runs and being entangled in related debugging activities, I think the following would be beneficial for future testers:
- Split all the individual tests making up the IPP-1.1 test suite into separate files.
- (Re-)Create a new
ipp-1.1.testsuite by usingINCLUDEstatements for the individual files.
This way it would be more easy to run specific tests individually, especially when it comes to debugging the respective parts of the now biiiig ipp-1.1.test file.
It would also allow to make a meaningful use of ipptool's capability to test with multiple test files within one run as its usage hint suggests:
Usage: ipptool [options] URI filename [ ... filenameN ]

Research direction
Start with the existing ipp-1.1.test suite and the ipptool usage hint for multiple test files. Separate the individual tests into files, then recreate ipp-1.1.test with INCLUDE statements. Done means the original suite remains runnable and specific tests can be selected individually.
