[Piglit] Regression with eeec306bc2197a2fc0eeb064462a1244d39c16fa "framework: don't report failed cases as PASS"

[Xing, Homer]

Hi Tom,

Last subtest result should not overwrite the first.
When multiple subtests had the same name,
PIGLIT:subtest {'+neg' : 'fail'}
PIGLIT:subtest {'+neg' : 'pass'}
The '+neg' subtest would be displayed as 'fail' in the summary.
Overwriting relationship between test cases should not exist.

For the second problem you mentioned, I admit it was not the intention of the patch. I will send out another patch to fix that problem.

Best regards,
Homer

My understanding was that the intention was to fix incorrect reporting when multiple subtests had the same name.  For example, with the old behavior, this:

PIGLIT:subtest {'+neg' : 'fail'}
PIGLIT:subtest {'+neg' : 'pass'}


The '+neg' subtest would be displayed as 'pass' in the summary, because the last subtest result was overwriting the first.  I thought the patch would fix this, so that '+neg' would display as 'fail' in the summary.

I think the patches fixes this, but it also introduces another problem with results like this:

PIGLIT:subtest {'-pos' : 'pass'}
PIGLIT:subtest {'+inf' : 'fail'}

In this case the summary shows both '-pos' and '+inf' as failed, which it shouldn't.  If this really was the intention of the patch, then I think it should be reverted, because it completed defeats the purpose of having subtests.
