#
# Search for the patch identifier for which results for a test changed,
# using a binary search.  The functionality for getting sources,
# building the component to test, and running the test are in other
# scripts that are run from here.  Before the search begins, we verify
# that we get the expected behavior for the first and last patch
# identifiers.
#
# Define these in a file whose name is the argument to this script:
#   LOW_PATCH:  Patch identifier.
#   HIGH_PATCH: Patch identifier.
#   REG_UPDATE: Pathname of script to update your source tree; returns
#               zero for success, nonzero for failure.
#   REG_BUILD:  Pathname of script to build enough of the product to run
#               the test; returns zero for success, nonzero for failure.
#   REG_TEST:   Pathname of script to run the test; returns 1 if we
#               should search later patches, 0 if we should search
#               earlier patches, and something else if there was an
#               unexpected failure.
# Optional:
#   REG_REPORT  Pathname of script to call at the end with the id of the
#               patch that caused the change in behavior.
#   REG_FINISH  Pathname of script to call at the end with the two final
#               patch identifiers as arguments.
#   REG_NEWMID  Pathname of script to call when a build has failed, with
#               arguments of the failed id and the current low and high
#   SKIP_LOW    If 1, skip verifying the low patch identifier of the
#               range; define this only if you're restarting and have
#               already tested the low patch.
#   SKIP_HIGH   If 1, skip verifying the high patch identifier of the
#               range; define this only if you're restarting and have
#               already tested the high patch.
#   FIRST_MID   Use this as the first midpoint, to avoid a midpoint that
#               is known not to build.
#   VERBOSITY   Default is 0, to print only errors and final message.
#   DATE_IN_MSG If set to anything but 0, include the time and date in
#               messages.
