Test framework revamped

[Ladislav]

The core-tests test framework available at

 

https://github.com/rebolsource/rebol-test

 

has been significantly revamped recently. Main changes:

 

* new core-tests added

* core-tests reordered so that all "chapters" are contiguous now

* the run-recover.r script is the way how to run the tests now

* the log-diff.r script can be used to compare differnt log files

* the log-filter.r script can be used to obtain just the list of failed tests

* the http://www.rebol.org/art-display-article.r?article=n28vx documentation article rewritten

 

Please, report any improvement proposals to me.

Newly I added the tests.mdp file which is the documentation source.

After the addition of shift tests, core-tests suite at github.com/rebolsource/… passed the 5000 test "psychological boundary".

Also, the test framework has been improved since last time improving detection and localization of GC failures in tests.

If considering to contribute, notice please the recent update to the documentation mentioning encoding.
