Pull request overview
This PR adds a new ReFrame test to verify that GCC in the uenv environment does not generate "fixed" versions of the pthread.h header file. This is related to a known issue with GCC's fixincludes mechanism that can cause problems in containerized environments. The test searches for pthread.h files in the uenv directories and verifies that none are located in an include-fixed directory, which would indicate unwanted GCC header "fixes".
Key changes:
- Added new test class
UenvFixincludesthat checks for absence of GCC-fixed pthread.h headers - Test uses
findcommand to search/user-environmentand/user-toolsdirectories - Validates that no pthread.h files are found in
include-fixedpaths
