Alan Coopersmith 8f8dcfee20 Make list tests actually test lists
Coverity scan detected that asserts were setting values, not checking them:

CID 53252: Side effect in assertion (ASSERT_SIDE_EFFECT)
  assignment_where_comparison_intended: Assignment item->b = i * 2
  has a side effect. This code will work differently in a non-debug build.
  Did you intend to use a comparison ("==") instead?

CID 53259: Side effect in assertion (ASSERT_SIDE_EFFECT)
  assignment_where_comparison_intended: Assignment item->a = i
  has a side effect. This code will work differently in a non-debug build.
  Did you intend to use a comparison ("==") instead?

CID 53260: Side effect in assertion (ASSERT_SIDE_EFFECT)
  assignment_where_comparison_intended: Assignment item->a = i
  has a side effect. This code will work differently in a non-debug build.
  Did you intend to use a comparison ("==") instead?

CID 53261: Side effect in assertion (ASSERT_SIDE_EFFECT)
  assignment_where_comparison_intended: Assignment item->b = i * 2
  has a side effect. This code will work differently in a non-debug build.
  Did you intend to use a comparison ("==") instead?

Fixing those to be == caused test_nt_list_insert to start failing as
part assumed append order, part assumed insert order, so it had to be
fixed to use consistent ordering.

                        X server test suite

This suite contains a set of tests to verify the behaviour of functions used
internally to the server. This test suite is based on glib's testing
framework [1].

= How it works =
Through some automake abuse, we link the test programs with the same static
libraries as the Xorg binary. The test suites can then call various functions
and verify their behaviour - without the need to start the server or connect
clients.

This testing only works for functions that do not rely on a particular state
of the X server. Unless the test suite replicates the expected state, which
may be difficult.

= How to run the tests =
Run "make check" the test directory. This will compile the tests and execute
them in the order specified in the TESTS variable in test/Makefile.am.

Each set of tests related to a subsystem are available as a binary that can be
executed directly. For example, run "xkb" to perform some xkb-related tests.

== Adding a new test ==
When adding a new test, ensure that you add a short description of what the
test does and what the expected outcome is. If the test reproduces a
particular bug, using g_test_bug().

== Misc ==

The programs "gtester" and "gtester-report" may be used to generate XML/HTML
log files of tests succeeded and failed.
