Using static values serves as a better cross-check against the page checksum code. The downside is that these checksums may not work with some big endian systems but in that case neither will the unit tests.
We can also remove the page checksum interface from LibC which brings us one step closer to eliminating it.
Maintaining the storage layer/drivers in two languages is burdensome. Since the integration tests require the Perl storage layer/drivers we'll need them even after the core code is migrated to C. Create an interface layer so the Perl code can be removed and new storage drivers/features introduced without adding Perl equivalents.
The goal is to move the integration tests to C so this interface will eventually be removed. That being the case, the interface was designed for maximum compatibility to ease the transition. The result looks a bit hacky but we'll improve it as needed until it can be retired.
Remove "File" and "Driver" from object names so they are shorter and easier to keep consistent.
Also remove the "driver" directory so storage implementations are visible directly under "storage".
Code generation saved files even when they had not changed, which often caused code generation cascades. So, don't save files unless they have changed.
Use rsync to determine which files have changed since the last test run. The manifest of changed files is saved and not removed until all code generation and builds have completed. If an error occurs the work will be redone on the next run.
The eventual goal is to do all the builds from the test/repo directory created by rsync but for now it is only used to track changes.
Low-level functions only include stack trace in test builds while higher-level functions ship with stack trace built-in. Stack traces include all parameters passed to the function but production builds only create the parameter list when the log level is set high enough, i.e. debug or trace depending on the function.
Now only two types of locks can be taken: archive and backup. Most commands use one or the other but the stanza-* commands acquire both locks. This provides better protection than the old command-based locking scheme.
This implementation should be faster because it does not stat each file. It simply assumes that most directory entries are files so attempts an unlink() first. If the entry is reported by error codes to be a directory then it attempts an rmdir().
