Simplify that code a little, in the process removing dependency<br> on procfs on FreeBSD, by using argv[0] as the binary to run, rather than<br> querying procfs for /proc/self/exe (or /proc/curproc/file on FreeBSD).<br> The unit tests should never be running in a way that leads to argv[0]<br> not being the actual test binary.</div> <div style="font-size: 11pt;"><br> </div> <div style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Acked-by: John McNamara <john.mcnamara@intel.com></div> <div style="font-size: 11pt;"><br> </div> <div style="font-size: 11pt;"><br> <br> </div> </body> </html>
