[petsc-dev] Introducing new "test harness" to PETSc

[Scott Kruger]

It has to do with the spacing.  Looking at src/sys/examples/test/ex1.c

This works:
/*TEST

    This test does foo
    test:
       filter: egrep "(PETSC ERROR)" | egrep "(main|CreateError|Error 
Created)" | cut -f1,2,3,4,5,6 -d" "


TEST*/

which I can see by doing this:
------------------------------------------------
gabrielle 81: ../../../../config/testparse.py -t ex1.c -v 1


ex1.c
    runex1
       filter: egrep "(PETSC ERROR)" | egrep "(main|CreateError|Error 
Created)" | cut -f1,2,3,4,5,6 -d" "
------------------------------------------------

but this does not:

/*TEST

   This test does foo
    test:
       filter: egrep "(PETSC ERROR)" | egrep "(main|CreateError|Error 
Created)" | cut -f1,2,3,4,5,6 -d" "


TEST*/

I would suggest that using # as a comment delimiter would be the best 
approach to enabling comments.
