How do we test this repo?

[jjhursey]

We should have a set of tests that we can build to check that the headers inside this repo are complete and functional.

You could use the dlopen branch of the MPIR shim, I suppose. Needs a little TLC, but you could simply re-use the current shim test for it.

🤷‍♂️ Wouldn't cover everything, but it would be a relatively simple place to start.

A few notes from the IA WG call on March 14, 2022

• ABI Compliance Checker: https://lvc.github.io/abi-compliance-checker/
  • Might be able to use between OpenPMix and the headers in this repo
• MPIR-Shim dlopen branch testing for the dlopen headers.
• Take some of the OpenPMIx tests and compile with PMIx ABI headers and link against OpenPMIx.

Here an example report generated from ABI Compliance Checker. This compares OpenPMIx 4.1.2 vs the pmix-abi repo headers: https://www.mcs.anl.gov/~raffenet/compat_report.html

I updated the compatibility report at https://www.mcs.anl.gov/~raffenet/compat_report.html. It now uses the OpenPMIx master branch @ d8eeab2c0ec8d84f2f3cabc3062c1a5234f88b44 and includes the pmix_server.h and pmix_tool.h header files I omitted the first time. I also reversed the order of the compliance checker so that it uses the pmix-abi repo as the base version and flags differences in OpenPMIx, which are all additions.
