Peter Hutterer ce3df579e3 input: un-constify InputAttributes
Introduced in fecc7eb1cf and reverts most of
that but it's helpfully mixed with other stuff.

InputAttributes are not const, they're strdup'd everywhere but the test code
and freed properly. Revert the const char changes and fix the test up instead.

                        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.
