Subject: tests: new convenience target 'check-parallel'
X-Git-Tag: v1.13.2b~35
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f859f346f66769dd6f66e472701d59fe6d88eda1;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fautomake.git

tests: new convenience target 'check-parallel'

To force the test scripts to invoke make in parallel mode.  This should
enhance coverage of use cases (make concurrency) that are becoming more
and more important with today multicore fast machines.

* Makefile.am (check-parallel): New .PHONY target.
