Thierry Reding 31b0be69e5 test/input: Fix alignment assertion for doubles
The code previously tried to compute the offset of a field in the
valuator by subtracting the address of the valuator from the _value_ of
the field (rather than the field's address). The correct way to do it
would have been (note the &'s):

	assert(((void *) &v->axisVal - (void *) v) % sizeof(double) == 0);
	assert(((void *) &v->axes - (void *) v) % sizeof(double) == 0);

That's essentially what the offsetof() macro does. Using offsetof() has
the added benefit of not using void pointer arithmetic and therefore
silencing a warning on some compilers.

                        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.
