[patch] testsuite patch -- to use VERIFY macro

[brent verner <brent at rcfile dot org>]

Hi,

  The patch linked below is against cvs libstdc++-v3 (current as
of this email being sent). It changes each instance of 'test &= TEST' 
to VERIFY(TEST) -- which is either defined as 'assert(TEST)' or 
'test &= TEST'.  I originally did this so I could see quicker _exactly_
where a test prog was failing (of course, I've recently learned about
hardware assisted breakpoints :), so I can get by without the 
VERIFY(...) macro, but it may help others who decide its a fun thing 
to hack on the library. The VERIFY macro is defined in a header file
testsuite/debug_assert.h which has been added to the -I for the 
testsuite. If anyone can recommend a better place/name for the file,
I'm open to suggestions.

  I'll also be going through the testsuite and changing the 
definition of all functions (where appropriate) to ...

int
test0N(){
  //stuff
  
  return 0;
}

... but I won't get to tackle that for a couple of weekends (crosstown
relocation), so if there is any reason a different standard function
signature for the testsuite would be better, let me know -- I noticed
that a few are 'bool test0N(){ //...; return test; }'.

btw, I'm seeing failures at
  -       -       27_io/stringstream.cc
  -       +       27_io/wide_stream_objects.cc
in the testsuite since yesterday. I'm quite sure they aren't related
to the testsuite's new hack. I have no clue about the wide_stream..
failure, but the stringstream.cc test is bailing on strlen(NULL)...
how/why it got there, idunno, but I'm looking into that as soon as
I fire this mail off.

cheers.
  Brent
