This tests override WriteToClient() with their own custom function to check for validity. Unfortunately they also papered over bugs - to compare values we had to swap back thus modifying the original reply. This doesn't really have an effect on most reply handling but for those with extra data it may affect how they are processed. Fix this by copying the reply so any of the fields within that we swap is left as-is and put some basic sanity checks in for the length we pass in.

X server test suite This suite contains a set of tests to verify the behaviour of functions used internally to the server. = 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" in 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.
