gtk-reftest already had an --output=DIR option to tell it where
to save all the resulting images. Now you can combine this with
the --compare-with=DIR option in a second run to make gtk-reftest
compare the .out.png files from the first run with the .out.png
files of the current run, instead of producing .ref.png files.
The intended use for this is to verify that changes do not affect
the generated output.
Make gtk-reftest consult the REFTEST_MODULE_DIR environment
variable to find out where to look for modules, and fix the
libtool hack to construct the .libs subdirectory correctly.
This adds an inhibit api that code from the reftest module
can use to delay the taking of the snapshot. Also refactor
the code in gtk-reftest to use the inhibit mechanism for
its own delaying of the snapshot until after the first
expose.
When connecting signal names, gtk-reftest now allows you to use a colon
in the signal handler name like so:
module:function_name
where module is a module loaded from the same directory (or the .libs
subdirectory for compatibility with uninstalled libtool) as the running
test and the function is resolved in that module. Of course, normal
function names work as before.
